President Donald Trump "takes the case directly to the people," and the "middleman," or the mainstream media, doesn't like it, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway said Friday night.
"He does that for a very specific reason," Conway told Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro, guest host for the "Hannity" program. "He communicates with all of us the very same time what's on his mind at any given moment through his vast social media platform and cuts out the middleman."
Conway said she didn't want to lose sight of how much affection Americans have for the president and his policies, and about how appreciative they are over the economy.
"I went through the crowd last night in Pennsylvania," she said. "They are there because they are appreciative of having more money in their pocket and their bank account. That gives them freedom and confidence and buoyancy."
Conway added that there are a lot of complaints about biased media coverage, but she thinks the problem is actually incomplete coverage, "the omission of all the stories that are actually news that you can use. Details and facts and figures that people need to know as Americans, so the administration and the media each has that platform, which is much bigger honestly. But we have responsibilities to make sure people get information."
She also discussed the upcoming midterms, noting that President Barack Obama lost seats in Congress during his first term, but at the same time, Democrats didn't "give historic tax cuts for historic regulation, to try to bring peace in dark corners around the world."
