WASHINGTON – Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that CNN ​made a “business decision” to defy President Trump.

The counselor to Trump kicked off a spirited interview on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” quipping that she’s “happy” to take questions from an “outlet that’s been incredibly unfair and systematically against this president,” Conway said Sunday. “I guess you made a business decision to do so.”

Host Brian Stelter questioned why she’d open up an interview with CNN by “attacking” the network and insisted all CNN is trying to do is make sense of an “awfully dysfunctional” White House and an “unusual president”.

“That’s not fair,” Conway said. “…If you want a more candid, clear look at the functioning of the White House, I invite you inside, come inside.”

She accused CNN of being “obsessed” with Russia and not offering “complete” coverage of positive things Trump is accomplishing.

“There’s a big story going on, Kellyanne and just because you don’t deny it doesn’t mean it’s not a big story,” Stelter said of the Russia probes.

“It’s not a big story,” Conway said.

Conway ticked off stories she thinks are under covered, including Trump measures to help veterans, coal miners and the pro-life movement.

It’s “not our job to do your PR,” Stelter said. “It’s your job.”

Stelter added that journalists should cover other stories, but have focus to focus on “big scandals.”

“What scandals going on?” a baffled Conway shot back. “Name them.”

Stelter didn’t mention the ongoing federal probe into Trump campaign associates or the congressional investigations into Russia meddling. The problems, he said, are Trump’s rhetoric, labeling media outlets “fake news” and poisoning public discourse.

“His rhetoric is scandal!?,” Conway rebutted.

Stelter added: “The scandals are about the president’s lies, about voter fraud about wiretapping, his repeated lies about those issues. That’s the scandal.”

Conway defended Trump: “He doesn’t think he’s lying about those issues and you know it.”

“A lot of husbands don’t think they’re lying when they cheat on their spouse and then say they’re not,” Stelter said. “It doesn’t mean you’re not lying.”

Conway pivoted the issue away from Trump and to former President Clinton’s sex scandal.

“Oh, are you back to the Clintons now?” she quipped.

Like her boss, Conway also worked to discredit the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, referring to him as “Mr. Mueller and his band of Democratic donors.”

Stelter sugguested Conway is oblivious to reality.

“This is a White House in crisis whether you recognize it or not,” Conway said.

“I work there,” she said. “Where do you get that? … Back it up.”

“The credibility gap is severe,” Stelter said.

“To what?,” Conway said. “To the people at CNN?”

The heated interview ended in an agreement for Stelter to join Conway on the road to talk to Americans who are counting on Trump to succeed.
