Kellyanne Conway blasted Hillary Clinton for taking five days to come out with a statement about movie producer and Democratic mega-donor Harvey Weinstein following growing allegations that he'd been sexually assaulting women for years.
"On this, I felt like a woman who ran to be commander in chief and president of the United States, who talks about women's empowerment, took an awfully long time to give support to those women who were coming forward," President Donald Trump's senior counselor told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" program Wednesday.
Further, said Conway, Clinton, as far as anyone knows, "kept the dirty money that dirty Harvey has given her in her campaign."
But now, even if Clinton gives back the money, that would not make her look any better, said Conway.
"First of all she doesn't need to mollify me, but not be a hypocrite about women's empowerment," Conway said. "She spent a month this time last year talking about an audio tape from 11 years earlier where a statement was made by the now president of the United States . . . what has she done privately in her private life? She is talking about herself and a campaign she lost on a book tour. She is not trying to help victims of sexual assault."
Conway invited Clinton to call her at the White House, if she wishes, to discuss the issue.
"She knows the number," she said. "She was the first lady for eight years and worked in a bipartisan fashion on sexual assault. We don't hear that from her."
