Kellyanne Conway channels 'Sesame Street,' uses flashcards to deflect Trump Jr. controversy
The television-friendly White House adviser quickly became a social media meme.
— -- Kellyanne Conway appeared to be trying to sweep away the clouds hanging over Donald Trump's presidency Wednesday evening, taking a page from the "Sesame Street" playbook with her own word-of-the-day moment during an interview on Fox News.
Commenting on the suggestions of collusion with Russia raised by Donald Trump Jr.'s June 2016 emails — in which he was offered damaging information on Hillary Clinton originating from Russian government sources — Conway used visual aids to share her stance on the subject.
"This is to help all the people at home. What's the conclusion? Collusion? No," she said on "Hannity," holding up a piece of paper with "conclusion?" and "collusion" printed on it, with "collusion" crossed out. "We don't have that yet."
"I see illusion and delusion," she continued, holding up another piece of paper with those two words.
"So, just so we're clear, everyone: four words. Conclusion, collusion? No. Illusion, delusion? Yes. I just thought we'd have some fun with words — Sesame's Grover word of the day, perhaps," she concluded.
Host Sean Hannity, whose laughter could be heard as Conway spoke, commented, "I'm going to buy you a whiteboard."
Conway responded to the attention, tweeting early Thursday, "Apologies to the humorless."
