Former Director of National Intelligence and current CNN contributor James Clapper was “way over the line” when he questioned President Trump’s “fitness” for office, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said on Thursday.
“It’s such an absurd analysis playing armchair psychiatrist,” Conway said in a “Fox & Friends” interview. “It’s not just him; it’s a lot of people on TV. I remember, I’m old enough to remember when news stations reported the news and didn’t just have a parade of pundits going out there and opinionating and pontificating and conjecturing. It leads to analysis like this because people end up with very little to say.”
“It’s way over the line,” Conway added. “You know, the media and other opinion leaders were — they were way too afraid of President Obama, his administration and not afraid enough here, meaning they say ‘Well, this is just our job to report the facts and hold people accountable.’ That’s not what that is. I won’t repeat what they are saying because it gives it oxygen.”
Conway’s comments come amid a full-on push from CNN to raise questions about Trump’s fitness for office. (RELATED: CNN Obsessed With Donald Trump’s Fitness [VIDEO])
