Sounds like she's blackmailing them into backing Trump or she'll sing like a canary.

After last night’s debate, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway suggested that some of the male members of Congress who are not supporting Donald Trump have sexually harassed women, according to CBS News.

WHOA. Conway on MSNBC says some of the members of Congress who won't support Trump have been sexual harassers themselves:

@SopanDeb @alexburnsNYT she said it on FOX, too. Sounds like she's blackmailing them into backing Trump or she'll sing like a canary.

And I was never too sure about Blake Faranthal and young girls. That's for a start. I'm sure there is plenty of dirt under the repuke rug

Just after that exchange Tweety asked her if she was on board with Trump until the end... her response was "I'm on board with Trump UNLESS..." They came back to her and she seemed to know she shouldn't have said it and said she meant unless she has a family emergency and had to leave or some other bullshit. It was meaningful I thought and she scrambled to cover it up.

This is a warning shot that the Trump campaign is willing to destroy the GOP.
