Kellyanne Conway

Bill Maher faced off with Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump‘s campaign manager and longtime guest on his show, over her strategy tonight, and he started off by semi-jokingly saying, “You are enabling pure evil.”

Maher repeatedly mocked Trump, brought up that time Trump sued him, and told Conway that Hillary Clinton was absolutely right about the “deplorable” views about a lot of Trump’s supporters.

Conway went after Clinton a bunch of times during the interview and said, “Her message is anti-Trump, she doesn’t have a positive message.”

Maher proceeded to call out Trump for tons of lies he’s told on the campaign trail (“I don’t have time to go through all of his lies, we only have an hour”). When Conway told him he’s clearly “nervous,” Maher explained, “It’s not because Trump is good, it’s because people are stupid.”

He asked her how she could possibly justify backing someone like Trump to her children in the future. Conway said she has no problem because she earnestly believe in Trump’s message for the country. At one point, Conway told Maher, “I can’t support someone who lies for a living.” She was referring to Clinton, but Maher couldn’t help but laugh at that.

She also suggests Trump was only kidding when he talked up his new DC hotel on Friday

Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s current campaign manager, said on Sunday that Donald Trump’s flip-flops on his signature issue of birtherism and a wide array of other issues do not matter because he had made the comments back when he was a private citizen.

On NBC’s Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd presented Conway with a lengthy list of issues on which Trump has recently changed his stated views, including birtherism, tax cuts for the wealthy, a Muslim ban, the minimum wage, the Iraq invasion, Libya intervention, abortion, whether he would self-fund his campaign, whether to accept Syrian refugees, and Japan and nuclear weapons. “He’s totally changed his position on all these issues,” Todd noted. “Why shouldn’t voters look at this and, including the birtherism comments on Friday, and say ‘he’s just another politician who will say and do anything to get elected in the moment?’”

Conway responded, “This is a man who is running for office the first time and he’s the nominee for president. Why? Because people do not see him as a politician. You want to take statements he made, positions he took as a private citizen when he was not running, and conflate them… People see who see who he is now.” She then changed the subject, suggesting that it was in fact Hillary Clinton who is untrustworthy and less than transparent.
