White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday snapped back at a reporter's question about President Donald Trump's attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color with a startling query of her own, asking, "What's your ethnicity?".
Trump forcefully doubled down on his explosive call this weekend for the progressive congresswomen to "go back" to where they came from and "come back and show us how it's done", rather than criticize his administration.
White House reporter Andrew Feinberg asked Conway about Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of MI and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez telling them to "go back" to where they came from.
So here is the full clip of Kellyanne Conway asking the reporter his ethnicity and then going off on this really insane tirade.
"How is that relevant?" "We are not requiring her to testify about advice she gave the president or about the White House's policy decisions", Cummings said before adjourning Monday's hearing.
"As you know, in accordance with long-standing, bipartisan precedent, Ms. Conway can not be compelled to testify before Congress with respect to matters related to her service as a senior adviser to the president".
In this same gaggle, Mrs. Conway blasted the four congresswoman of color - now known as the "squad" - for voting against a House bill to fund migrant detention facilities, saying they represent a "very dark element in the country".

"Are you saying the president was telling the Palestinian American to go back to the occupied territories?" he continued, referencing one target of Trump's remarks, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a Palestinian American who was born in MI. "But, I work with this president, I know him".
"This is illegal activity", Cummings said of Conway's alleged violations.
Henry Kerner, a longtime Republican Party lawyer who runs the OSC, told last month's committee hearing that Conway left him "no choice" but to recommend her termination because she had committed "at least 10 separate Hatch Act violations, expressed no remorse and continues to express disdain" for the law.
"What's your ethnicity?" she responded. All four members of Congress targeted by Trump are United States citizens.
Conway's husband, attorney and outspoken Trump critic George Conway, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post in which he wrote that Trump's comments about were "racist to the core".
"I sure could. I can point out people's disagreements with their former spouses, their current spouses and partner, their future spouses and partners. All I'm saying is if they want to leave, they can leave now". "Sick and exhausted of the Customs and Border Protection people I was with, who are overwhelmingly hispanic by the way, in McAllen, Texas, being ... criticized".
