We know that and we’re going to deal with that, but it would be nice if people showed respect of the office of the president and gave him a chance.”

“If they want to call themselves journalists and reporters, they ought to think about what they’re doing,” she continued. (RELATED: Kellyanne Conway Was Grilled By Seth Meyers About Allegations That Russia Has Dirt On Trump)
