White House counselor Kellyanne Conway chided a CBS News reporter for asking a question relating to the diversity of Trump's announced White House coronavirus economic council.
On Wednesday, CBS News correspondent Paula Reid asked Conway if President Trump plans to further diversify his economic council during the coronavirus pandemic beyond "wealthy white men," which Conway called an "unbecoming" question.
“The president listed off a long list of names yesterday. How will they work, how will they meet, how will they make recommendations to the president, and is there any thought to diversifying that council beyond what is predominantly a group of very wealthy white men?” Reid asked.
Conway said Trump "has four calls with those sectors even today, banking, healthcare, technology, sports, quite a number of them. So he’s starting, he announced them last night, started just today, I think that list is probably less exhaustive than it is illustrative. And there will be other people raising their hand and saying ‘How can I help?'”
“We don’t pick who the heads of the sports commission leagues and CEOs of companies are who want to help," Conway continued before Reid interrupted to continue her line of questioning.
“But you do pick the council, and you could pick small businesses, they could pick other people that have diverse voices to this,” asserted Reid.
“Paula, I actually don’t know what’s happened to you, respectfully, I don’t know why you’ve changed, and you’re in the briefing room screaming at Anthony Fauci and the president of the United States," said Conway. “I frankly think it’s unbecoming but that aside, I’ll answer the question about how they’re going to help America, which is why I’m here. I think you’re here for a different reason, it seems these days."
During a White House press briefing on Monday, Reid argued with Trump about the actions his administration took in February to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
“You didn’t use it to prepare hospitals. You didn’t use it to ramp up testing. Right now, nearly 20 million people are unemployed!" Reid said.
“You’re so disgraceful,” Trump said in response. “It’s so disgraceful the way you say that," adding, "You know you’re a fake, you know that."
