WATCH: New Campaign Manager Wants Americans to ‘Show Some Forgiveness’ Toward Trump
Kellyanne Conway Is Hoping Trump’s Latest Strategy Will Win Over Voters
Donald Trump’s new manager says she wants Americans to show “forgiveness” toward Donald Trump, after the Republican presidential nominee’s speech Thursday night during which he acknowledged he may have said the “wrong thing” at times.Â
“I hope that everybody who’s criticized him at some point,” Kellyanne Conway told “Good Morning America” host David Muir Friday, “for being insensitive or mocking someone, at least show some recognition and some forgiveness.”
Trump’s 14-month long campaign has been a verbal assault of dehumanizing hate speech, holding Americans hostage to his fear mongering and targeting of minorities in the U.S., while slandering people of a particular religion or countries around the world.
Conway said the speech Trump delivered via teleprompter Thursday in North Carolina was “all him,” and insisted his first-ever acknowledgment that he has at times been insensitive is “presidential.”
“He took extra time yesterday going over that speech with a pen so that was a decision he made. Those are his words,” she said proudly.Â
On Thursday, in what some are mistakenly calling a “pivot,” Trump told supporters, that sometimes, “in the heat of the debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that, and I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.”Â
Conway repeatedly insisted that her coming onboard as his new manager two days ago had nothing to do with this latest iteration of Trump’s candidacy.
