Megyn Kelly expertly shut down Trump's campaign manager's claims about women voters
Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway attempted to knock Hillary Clinton's support with women during a Tuesday night interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly — but her efforts ended up backfiring big time. "Why, in the new CNN poll, is Hillary at 53 percent among women? She's running as the first female president. There's something holding her back," Conway said.
Kelly wasted no time reminding Conway that Trump was faring far, far worse with women in the polls. "She is beating Donald Trump by some 20 points with women," Kelly said. "I mean, why is Donald Trump at 32 percent?"
Conway tried several times to defend Trump, only to repeatedly get crushed by Kelly. "You're sitting here [asking] why are her numbers low with women, and you work for Donald Trump," Kelly said. "His numbers are historically low for a Republican nominee with women. Historically low."
