Kellyanne Conway: Dems' Investigations at 'Their Own Peril'

By    |   Wednesday, 07 November 2018 09:12 AM EST

The new House Democratic majority won't have much room to launch investigations against the Trump administration because their voters will hold them to account, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday.

"Where is the appetite in some of these swing districts that Democrats narrowly won last night, where their voters are saying, 'Look, you screwed up last year in not voting for this tax cut that has been historic and stimulated an economic boom that's unprecedented under President Trump... you voted against that, and now, all you're voting to do is investigate and subpoena?'" Conway told Fox News' "Fox and Friends."

The new majority will "do what they have to do, but at their own peril.'

She added that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who many believe will be restored to the speaker seat she held from 2007 to 2011, called Trump Tuesday night after Democrats regained the House majority, but did not mention investigating the president.

Conway also said that she thinks Democrats will have to make the choice between working with Trump or attacking him, and she believes there will be a "tale of two Democratic Parties" on Capitol Hill.

"The president already has shown in the first couple of years that he is willing to meet the Democrats," said Conway. "We just, two weeks ago, had historic bipartisan legislation on the opioid and drug crisis. Actually, every Democrat in the house voted for that law that the president signed into law...he has shown that when he elevates an issue, and leads that they follow. They will join with him. "
