Kellyanne Conway attacked the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser for doing TV hits and releasing a long list of terms that must be met for her client to testify before the U.S. Senat on Monday.

Kellyanne, counselor to the president, told reporters Friday morning that she is “glad” that the attorneys representing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was finally speaking with the Senate Judiciary.

The two attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, have been criticized for not responding to the Senate Judiciary and also had to pull out of hosting a fundraiser for Senate Democrat Tammy Baldwin since the allegations have gone national.

“I’m glad her attorneys decided to get off TV and talk to the Senate Judiciary. That’s a good idea. And prepare her for that testimony,” Kellyanne said. “But the truth is the truth.”

The lawyers were also criticized by Mike Davis, chief counsel on nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee under Chairman Chuck Grassley, who tweeted Thursday that Katz had not responded to his requests.

 

On Thursday, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks released a long list of conditions that need to be met by the Committee in order to have their client testify. Kellyanne called the conditions a “laundry list.”

“I think these conditions — I just heard a whole laundry list of them on CNN. Thanks for saying them. They’re growing. Seems they’re growing by the minute,” Kellyanne said.

Conway noted that the entire proceeding has already been delayed long enough by the accusations and delaying it further would be “politicizing the process.”

“Any delay beyond that, by Senators who already said they would vote against him, is politicizing the process,” Conway said. “It’s not fair to Kavanaugh. It’s probably not fair to Dr. Ford.”

Kellyanne noted that there have been many threats of harm and death against Kavanaugh and his family: “His young daughters, his wife don’t deserve that. He does not deserve that. None of you deserve it. He really needs to tone down the temperature that way. A lot of people are attacking him and his family, and it’s awful. It’s awful.”

Trump tweeted early Friday that he hopes there is a police report of the sexual assault Ford has claimed: “I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
