Conway To Town Hall Protesters: 'Come Up With Your Own Solutions'
By ESME CRIBB Published FEBRUARY 23, 2017, 10:32 AM EDT
White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Thursday that protesters should come up with their "own solutions" to questions raised at town halls held by Republican members of Congress.
"Protesting is covered under the First Amendment. That's all fine. But come up with your own solutions," Conway said on "Fox and Friends."
She blamed "a combination of people" for the large crowds and vocal criticism Republican lawmakers have faced at town halls and public events.
"Some people are upset with an election result they didn't see coming," she said. "You see people who are concerned about the swiftness of change, and I think that you've got some members heeding that call and taking their questions. I just don't hear a lot of solutions."
