Donald Trump's campaign manager unleashed biting criticism at her Hillary Clinton counterparts – and Clinton herself – on Friday as she blamed 'election deniers' for refusing to take responsibility for the Democrat's historic loss last month.

'A little self-awareness would do for a team that is blaming everybody but themselves for this,' she said on 'Fox & Friends.'

'It's Bernie Sanders' fault. How dare he run? The guy won 22 states, folks, and over 13 million votes. That ain't nothing. It's the alt-right's fault. It's – what's the other one? – Oh! It's fake news's fault,' she mocked. 'It's Russian interference. It's Jim Comey, of course, the biggest scapegoat of all.'

'How about you had no message, and people just didn't cotton to your candidate?'

'I don't know what her message was to America,' Kellyanne Conway said of Hillary Clinton, other than "I'm not Donald Trump and you shouldn't vote for him"'

Clinton on Thursday blamed 'fake news' in part for her unexpected Election Day loss

Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri blasted Conway and the Trump team on Wednesday in a Washington Post essay that appears to have prompted the stinging response.

'I don’t know whether the Trump campaign needed to give a platform to white supremacists to win,' Palmieri wrote. 'But the campaign clearly did, and it had the effect of empowering the white-nationalist movement.'

And Clinton lashed out against the supposed 'fake news' phenomenon a day later, saying that 'it's now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences.'

She was referring to the 'pizzagate' episode, a conspiracy theory centered on false allegations that Clinton and her campaign chairman John Podesta presided over a child-sex ring in the basement of a Washington, D.C. pizza parlor.

'Lives are at risk, lives of ordinary people,' Clinton said in reaction to the arrest of a gunman at the restaurant on Sunday.

Conway called the remarks 'remarkable.'

'If she's trying to make a nexus between those statements and her electoral loss, then I'm almost at a loss for words, maybe for the first time in awhile,' she said Friday.

'I don't know what her message was to America, other than "I'm not Donald Trump and you shouldn't vote for him." I don't know what her message was to the working-class voters that we captured and the union households we carried in some places by 2-to-1. I don't know what her message was to America's women, where she only got 55 or 56 per cent of the vote, and as the first female presidential nominee from a major party.'

'The most fake piece of news I heard all along up until Election Day, and still hear from some people, is that Donald Trump couldn't win. How's that for fake news, misleading news?' Conway asked.

Conway said of Democrats: 'There's no introspection. There's no reflection. And I couldn't be happier'

'Other fake news, certainly, was that Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were all sewed up, that we couldn't bust through the "blue wall." And look – I take seriously what she's saying in terms of people spreading rumors or saying things that aren't true, and possible harm coming to people. But it's this whole new cottage industry they're trying to make a big deal of, and pin it on one party or one man's supporters.'

In a final slap, Conway mocked the Democrats for re-electing aging California Rep. Nancy Pelosi as their minority leader in the House of Representatives, passing over young Ohioan Tim Ryan.

'There's no introspection. There's no reflection. And I couldn't be happier,' she said.

'They haven't learned that they are out of touch with the workers in America, that they've become very extreme. The Democratic Party that I grew up in no longer exists. The Democratic Party that Bill Clinton won under its banner is gone. The Blue Dog Democrats, the pro-tax-reform Democrats, the pro-life and pro-Second-Amendment Democrats, they're gone.'
