Just hours after Donald Trump was named the 45th president of the United States, Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway gave an interview with “CBS This Morning” discussing how Trump’s Democratic foes reacted to the stunning upset. And she pled with the American people for unity at a time of such division.
House Speaker Paul Ryan congratulated Donald Trump on “his big night”.
It appeared to be a gentle jab at Trump, who called for a ban on Muslims during the campaign, and during one presidential debate appeared to threaten Clinton herself with jail if he was president. It was for the entire country. “This loss hurts. But please, never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it”.
