Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to President Trump, on Sunday revealed that she was a victim of sexual assault as she defended Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from accusations of sexual misconduct.
“I feel very empathetic frankly for victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment and rape,” Conway said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I’m a victim of sexual assault.”
“I don’t expect Judge Kavanaugh, or Jake Tapper, or Jeff Flake or anybody to be held responsible for that. You have to be responsible for your own conduct,” she continued.
Conway also lashed out people comparing Kavanaugh’s alleged behavior with that of comedian Bill Cosby who was sentenced to prison last week for sexually assaulting women.
“This is not Bill Cosby. Those comparisons I hear on your network are a disgrace and the anchor should have called them out, this is not even Bill Clinton,” she said, referring to the former president’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky in the 1990s.
“The hypocrisy is ridiculous,” she said. “It’s raw partisan politics.”
