Oh Kellyanne, we wish we could quit you.
Speaking with CNN’s Christopher Cuomo on Wednesday, the “counselor” to the President said “nobody here talks about Hillary Clinton,” insisting that “we” don’t care about Hillary.
Kellyanne Conway claimed “nobody here talks about Hillary Clinton” despite the fact that President Trump mentioned her at least 3 times earlier today #CuomoPrimeTimehttps://t.co/sGNQfZyNRt

The remarks were, erm, ill timed. President Trump had, in fact, brought up Hillary Clinton twice earlier that day, unprompted.
First, while speaking about his commitment to “massive oil and gas,” he compared himself to Hillary Clinton, who he said “was for windmills.” And second, while answering questions in a press conference: he once again insisted that there was “no collusion” with Russia when asked whether he would consent to an interview with special investigator Robert Mueller, and swiftly pivoted to what he said was the FBI’s mishandling of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server (Do you think he knows about Jared and Ivanka?).
Things got worse — or better, if you’re, like, into seeing hypocrisy play out in real time — during one of President Trump’s fun early morning tweetstorms. On Thursday, Trump returned to his “Crooked Hillary Emails” greatest hits, seemingly in response Senator Feinstein’s unilateral release of an interview with the author of a now-infamous dossier on how Russia influenced the US election via the Trump campaign.
Disproven and paid for by Democrats “Dossier used to spy on Trump Campaign. Did FBI use Intel tool to influence the Election?” @foxandfriends Did Dems or Clinton also pay Russians? Where are hidden and smashed DNC servers? Where are Crooked Hillary Emails? What a mess!

Minutes later, Chris Cuomo took his subtweet game to the next level, and called out Kellyanne’s “nobody talks about her” comments once again.

Sick burn, Chris.
But Kellyanne is not one to bow out, and turned to her good friends, Nonsense and Nonsequiter, for help.
Hey @ChrisCuomo – when we are forced to think/talk about hrc it’s because you and your colleagues can’t let go of an election she/you lost. Sad!

Ok Kellyanne, Ok. We’re just gonna put this right here.
Kellyanne Conway told CNN’s @ChrisCuomo: “We don’t care about her. Nobody here talks about Hillary Clinton.”
… in case you were curious, Trump has tweeted Hillary Clinton’s name at least 89 times since election day. Here are some of those tweets.? pic.twitter.com/0lhtoe4thR
