Kellyanne Conway, White House advisor: "I am a victim of sexual assault"

In defending Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Sunday, White House counsel Kellyanne Conway revealed that she herself had been a victim of sexual assault. Conway briefly acknowledged his past assault during an appearance on "The State of the Union" on Sunday, arguing that the perpetrators should be solely responsible for such crimes.

"Frankly, I am very empathetic to the victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment and rape I am a victim of sexual assault I do not expect Justice Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or Jeff Flake or whoever is held responsible, you must be responsible for your own conduct, "she said.

"Let's be honest about what it is, it's raw and partisan politics," she said. "I want those women who have been sexually assaulted the other day and who have faced Jeff Flake, God bless them, but will blame the author." "Who is responsible for the aggression? the people who commit them. "

Asked about several women's allegations that President Trump had sexually assaulted them, Conway told Jake Tapper of CNN not to "conflate" the two issues.

"Do not confuse that with that and certainly do not confuse that with what happened, it would be a huge mistake, Jake, do not do it, let's not always take Trump in all that's going on. in this universe, number one mistake, "warned Conway.

Conway also criticized lawmakers who "refused" to remove former President Bill Clinton from office for sexual misconduct while demanding an FBI investigation into the charges against Kavanaugh.

"The hypocrisy is ridiculous and if no member of the Senate Judiciary Committee changes his vote because of what he learned from the FBI investigation, it tells you all you need to know about what the President and Judge Kavanaugh [have] said is a sham, "said Conway.
