by Tommy Christopher | Feb 11th, 2019, 10:15 am
-snip-
On Monday mornings edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade noted that ORourke, who came very close to defeating Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2018, is holding a counter-rally to Trumps scheduled El Paso MAGA rally.
Is the president concerned about the size of his crowds? Kilmeade asked.
Conway answered No, then referenced Cruzs narrow victory in a once deep red state by calling ORourke a loser, and noted that the El Paso rally will get ORourke a lot of free airtime for the would-be 2020 race, and people should see that for what it is.
ORourke has not declared a candidacy for 2020, but Donald Trump has, and will almost certainly get some free airtime for his own El Paso rally. Although even Fox News has stopped carrying every MAGA rally wall-to-wall, they will very likely at least dip in periodically. And in 2016, Trump famously benefited from over $2 billion worth of free media. Maybe Conway meant it as a compliment.
Conway went on to attack some other Democratic candidates, again in strangely kettle-istic fashion. For example, she attacked Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) over a viral moment that took place at Kikis Chicken and Waffles in South Carolina, in which Gillibrand asked if utensils were necessary.
