Kellyanne Conway drew mockery and ire on social media ― and accusations of gaslighting ― with a claim about former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
GOP presidential nominee Trump “didn’t call Hillary names, he took her on for her record,” Conway said Wednesday on Fox News during a discussion about the personal attacks that Republicans have launched on likely 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
But Trump, of course, did smear Clinton with derogatory monikers throughout their race and for much of the contest referred to her as “Crooked Hillary.” During his presidency, he referred to Clinton as “Crazy Hillary.”
Kellyanne Conway says Trump's "got to run against Kamala the way he ran against Hillary," claiming with a straight face that "he didn’t call Hillary names."

Trump announced at a 2023 campaign rally that he’d reassigned the “Crooked” moniker to President Joe Biden. “I will be retiring the name ‘Crooked’ from Hillary Clinton,” he said. “I’m gonna give her a new name. I don’t know, like maybe ‘Lovely Hillary’ or ‘Beautiful Hillary.’”
Conway managed Trump’s campaign against former Secretary of State Clinton and later served as a senior counselor in the Trump White House.
Critics on social media suggested her Trump-Clinton claim was her latest installment of “alternative facts,” the term she became infamous for during Trump’s presidency.
@kellyannepolls has that unique ability to block out stuff she and Trump did during the campaign and Trump's presidency. It's amazing. https://t.co/ht2kuy5Th6

@KellyannePolls ….so “crooked Hillary” was NOT a “name”?

I recall "Crooked Hillary," "Lyin Hillary," " Crazy Hillary," to name a few. And don't forget "Lock her up."

He also claims he never said "Lock Her Up."
