'CNN Sources' Accuse Kellyanne Conway of Being Behind Anti-Sean Spicer Leaks (no proof-barf alert!)

Knowledgeable sources tell CNN’s Dylan Byers they believe that White House counselor Kellyanne Conway is behind the media narrative that President Donald Trump is not happy with Sean Spicer‘s performance as White House press secretary.

Both Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon denied that Spicer was in the doghouse, saying that he had the “full confidence” of the president. Priebus suggested the rumors were being spread by a low-level staffer, while Bannon suggested that “the media, the opposition party” was simply telling lies.

“Many people sympathetic to Spicer in and out of the White House believe otherwise,” Byers reports. “Five of these sources think the person behind the leaks is Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s ever-visible White House counselor. Though they offer no hard evidence, they say Conway is trying to offload blame for administration setbacks on Spicer to prove she is the more effective public advocate…”

Conway of course denies the charge. “Absolutely not,” she said in a statement. “It’s absolutely false. Sean has my full support, but most importantly, he has the president’s full support. We work as a team

Yeah, this is BS. Spicer is very good and protects Donald very well.

Again I see this “cnn” thing. What does it do or make?

It seems like it must be important as some here are obsessed with it :)

Me thinks this is another ruse to flush out a leaker.

Of course CNN would like to see Kellyanne as Machiavelli. She routinely takes CNN apart in interviews with the Corrupt News Network. Fox had photos of both her and Spicer at the news conference laughing hysterically at something the President said in his taking on the media.

I like Spicer. Was surprised he didn’t give a presser today.

Is there anyway we[Freepers] can flood CNN with “Fake News” e-mails? I look on the CNN website but could not find a way to contact them. I might have overlooked it.

President and staff were on the way to South Carolina and Florida today. Even if he gave one, most of the press would be too hungover from licking yesterday's wounds.

The Control-LEFT media is still reviewing the press conference of Feb. 16th.

It is so difficult for the pressers to still down after the ass-chewing and lash wounds rubbed full of salt.

Lucky for them, Mr. Trump did not have a ruler to rap them on the knuckles on live TV.
