White House advisor Kellyanne Conway appeared on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, in the wake of two resignations by Trump aides after allegations of domestic abuse, and after the president tweeted his concern that such accusations might ruin lives over “mere allegations.” And while Conway stood by Trump as stolidly as ever, even she had to admit that she has “no reason not to believe” the ex-wives of Rob Porter, the now-former White House staff secretary.

But we as individuals have a duty to asses everybody on a case by case basis. And in this case, you have contemporaneous police reports, you have women speaking to the FBI under threat of perjury, you have police reports, you have photographs. And you look at all of that pulled together, you realize that Rob Porter did the right thing by resigning.

Still, she defended the president’s patented brand of both-siderism. "The president believes, as he said the other day, you have to consider all sides,” she said. “He has said this in the past about incidents that relate to him as well.”
