Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway wants to know where the outrage was when Hillary Clinton took time off the campaign trail to go to an Adele concert. While defending Trump's Wednesday morning stop at his hotel opening in Washington, D.C., Conway argued that his "pit stop" there 13 days ahead of Election Day just really "shows Americans the tangible accomplishments of Donald Trump." "He's somebody who builds things. He's somebody who fixes things," Conway said in an interview with NBC's Today show Wednesday morning. She added: "And you know, respectfully, Hillary Clinton has time to go to an Adele concert and everybody thinks that's really cool."
And, Conway pointed out, Clinton has diverted her attention from the campaign for more than just some soulful tunes. "Hillary Clinton took five days off to prepare for one debate and everybody looked at that as some kind of noble exercise, with 23 days to go. Nobody covered that as: Where is she? Why doesn't she campaign much? What is she doing? Where is she hiding?" Conway said.
It's hard to imagine anyone would've been upset if Trump had done the same prep work. Watch Conway defend her candidate, below. Becca Stanek
