Cuomo also jumped in Thursday morning, tweeting "good thing no one talks about HRC in the White House. Is 'nobody' new POTUS code name?" Conway replied: "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!"

In other news, Trump has so far tweeted about Clinton five times in the first 11 days of the year.
