Kellyanne Conway: 'Why is everybody so obsessed with the president of the United States?'
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway reported to her job at the White House on Friday morning, donning a bright pink blouse and a glowing smile. But, in a development most Americans can understand, her cheery demeanor faltered when she actually had to start working.
As she walked down the White House driveway, Conway was met by a group of reporters asking questions about President Trump's military parade, which CNBC reported Thursday was estimated to cost $92 million. The commander in chief canceled the affair in a fit of Twitter rage early Friday anyway, but one reporter mentioned that the American Legion, a veterans' organization, said the money should go toward the Veterans Affairs Department instead. "Well, that's your perspective," Conway replied. Veterans are "happy [at the VA], mostly," she added, outlining the president's desire to give veterans options for health care aside from the VA.
