Kellyanne attacks background check supporters to deflect from about-face

By Peter Wade

On Sunday, White House counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway attempted to deflect attention from President Donald Trump, who once again backtracked after voicing support for background checks. Conway told Fox News, “We’re not going to allow bad actors who should not have firearms in the first place to be the excuse for a bunch of liberals and socialists to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens who have legally procured them.”
