Kellyanne Conway Dodges Question on Trump's Claim That 'Millions' Voted Illegally

By EMILY SHAPIRO 1 hour ago Good Morning America

President-elect Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway dodged answering whether Trump's unsubstantiated claim that "millions" voted illegally is true when she appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning.

Trump said in a tweet last week that millions of people voted for Hillary Clinton illegally -- a claim without any known basis in fact.

"In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," Trump said.

Clinton's lead over Trump in the national popular currently exceeds 2.4 million votes, according to the Associated Press.

When asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos if it is appropriate for Trump to make false statements like that, she said, "Many people are questioning the victory. You got people spending millions of dollars, wasting money and time in the Clinton and [Jill] Stein camp in Wisconsin, Michigan, tried in Pennsylvania to recount. So not everybody has ... accepted the election results."

"But to your question," Conway continued, "the president-elect has been talking to different people including Kris Kobach, [secretary of state] of Kansas, about voting irregularities or the number of illegal votes that may have been cast, and I believe that he bases his information on that."

Asked again by Stephanopoulos if the statement by Trump is true, Conway responded, "Well, he's been receiving information about the irregularities and about the illegal votes, particularly from sources, officials like Kris Kobach as I mentioned, but he is messaging to his supporters and to the rest of the country the way he feels."

Conway said Trump won because he had a message that connects with Americans. Addressing the Americans who did not vote for Trump, Conway said that they now "can't get past the grief, denial and anger stages and into the acceptance stages," which she said "really defies what Secretary Clinton and President Obama themselves had said" about coming together as a nation.

Though Clinton won the popular vote, Conway said Trump will still reach those Americans who did not vote for him, because he will "be the president of all Americans, including those that did not vote for him."

Conway was also asked about Trump's rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, Thursday night, where some Trump supporters chanted in reference to Clinton, "Lock her up."

"That's the way they feel," Conway said, "And there would be officials who are in charge of such things in the Trump administration who may look at that again. But Donald Trump made very clear last week as the president-elect that he's moved on from that.

That he's focused on ... more focused on things, like health care, immigration, bringing jobs back."

When Conway was pressed on whether the Trump administration may pursue prosecution against Clinton, Conway replied, "No, I'm not suggesting that at all. That would be something I would not be able to say."ide

"But reminding everybody what the president-elect said last week," she continued, "He's moving on to focus on the future, not the past and he has said to The New York Times on the record he thinks that the Clintons have suffered enough. Of course, the Department of Justice, the different committees, the FBI perhaps can take a different look, but nobody expects and nobody is talking about that right now."

What is the goal of the Democrats in getting as many illegal aliens into the United States for the past three decades plus? It is for a permanent voting block. If you give those illegally present driver licenses and stop efforts to have photo identification to vote you are wanting illegal voting to take place. If you don't want the deceased removed from voter rolls you want illegal voting to take place.

We have heard there are ten million more or less illegal aliens for a decade and yet the southern border is breached by tens of thousands every month.

Can Donald Trump prove the illegal voting? If each vote had to be verified that a citizen cast it, we could know the real numbers of illegal votes.

Yes we sure could and we have an E-verify system that could do that quite easily. Or at least it seems so. You would have to give out an SS number to these "officials", not sure people will want to do that. The key at this point I suppose is to get them all out of here and keep them out. Then we can vote like we're supposed to, have drivers licenses like we're supposed to and use those or photo ID's to vote. No American is going to object to showing a drivers license to vote. Who would object to that? No American Citizen would object to a photo ID to vote. Not one. So who is objecting? Illegal aliens. Plain and simple.

My LEGAL Immigrant 96 year old Aunt had a DMV issued identification card......so what is so difficult about getting one??????

A huge number of illegal aliens did commit the felony of registering to vote and another felony by voting for Hillary Clinton on Nov 8, 2016. And the more ABC and George Stephanopoulos want to talk about it, the sooner the evidence will be revealed!
