Conway: Obama, Clinton should call for calm; Reid should 'be very careful'

President-elect Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway on Sunday called on Democratic leaders -- including President Obama and Hillary Clinton -- to publicly call for an end to violent protests over Trump’s election victory, while warning outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid to “be very careful” about his personal attacks on Trump.

“I am calling for responsibility and decency. I hope President Obama says, ‘Cut it out,'" Conway said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Everybody is looking for a peaceful transition, and you have the Senate minority leader acting like a garden variety political pundit.”

"I think that the president of the United States, Secretary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, perhaps, others can come forward and ask for calm and ask for a peaceful transition and ask their supporters, which are masquerading as protesters now -- many of them professional and paid by the way, I'm sure -- ask them to give this man a chance so that this country can flourish," she said.

Conway warned Reid, a Nevada Democrat retiring from the Senate in January, to “be very careful about characterizing someone in a legal sense” regarding his attacks on Trump, but said she was not suggesting legal action was pending.

Ha! At the rate he’s been slipping mentally and physically having “accidents” he’ll be lucky to still be wasting perfectly good air in 2020. :)

Yes, I do know what I am talking about. I live in Fairfax County and ALL of my neighbors are foreign born and enthusiastic democrats (except one - I pass out literature is how I know). You have to have govt ID to vote and the margin of victory in Virginia was more than 60,000 if you really must know.

The current vote at this moment is that Hillary beat the Don by 192,672 votes in Virginia. Alexandria and Arlington also vote heavily democratic...always 70 to 75% of the vote or more and the same this election. What the governor did was despicable, but we don't really know how many of the 60,000 felons voted. And it was legal per the courts, but was shameless. He did break the spirit of the law even if he technically followed it.

Southwest Virginia and other rural areas came out in droves, but the vote up here is so one sided it is difficult to overcome.

Virginia is no longer purple, but has become a blue state in only about 12 years.
