Fox News host slams media 'hostility' towards Trump aide over Flynn
Presenter Sean Hannity suggested the reaction to her appearance on NBC TODAY would have been different if she had been “a liberal”. NBC host Matt Lauer slammed Ms Conway over the resignation of national security advisor Michael Flynn suggesting her account was inconsistent and “made no sense”. “You’re saying that was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Lauer referring to General Flynn misleading Vice President Mike Pence over phone calls he made in December to a Russian ambassador as Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia. “But the White House knew about that last month, when the Justice Department warned the White House that Flynn had not been completely honest.”

Ms Conway said it was “one characterisation” before saying General Flynn continued in his post until his resignation was accepted. But the host did not hold back and blasted: “Kellyanne, that makes no sense! “Last month the Justice Department warned the White House that General Flynn misled them! And that as a result he was vulnerable to blackmail and at that moment he still had the complete trust of the President?” Following the fiery debate, Fox News host Hannity suggested Ms Conway’s treatment should be “news”.
