‘Hey Huma, what’s up?’: Kellyanne Conway recalls ‘David…Goliath’ moment when Hillary conceded
World Tribune ^ | 3/19/2017 | Staff

In the early morning hours after a long election night, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said she received a call from the Clinton campaign that Team Hillary only a day earlier seemed confident would never happen.

“I look down – literally it was like a movie – my phone is ringing and it said “Huma Abedin” [Clinton’s longtime aide]. And I said, “Hey, Huma. What’s up?” Conway recalled during a talk at the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit in Washington on March 17.

“And she’s absolutely lovely, she really is. And she’s like ‘Hi Kellyanne, Secretary Clinton would like to speak to Mr. Trump.’ ” And I said, “Now?” And she said, “Is he available?” And I said, “We’re very available!”

“And I handed [Trump] the phone. My husband took a screenshot of that – at 2:30 a.m. I handed him the phone and he and Vice President Pence and their wives were there and the rest is history.

“So that was just really a remarkable moment and I think it was a remarkable moment for anybody, any David fighting a Goliath, frankly,” Conway said.

President Donald Trump’s campaign manager, now a top adviser in the new administration, said that the night before the election, she and Clinton’s team spoke over email about when the concession call would happen.

“Robby Mook (Clinton’s campaign manager) had agreed the night before through an email to me that within 15 minutes of the AP calling the race for Secretary Clinton, they would wait 15 minutes and then she would take to the podium and declare victory,” Conway said.

Ha! How presumptuous and 'generous'.....to tell Team Trump just how long they had to 'concede'.

Rude jerks deserve EVERYTHING they got, in their epic FAIL!!

‘Hi Kellyanne, Secretary Clinton would like to speak to Mr. Trump.’

Geez, how long after you've held a Cabinet post do you continue to refer to yourself by your former title?

I wondered whether it was really Clinton who made that concession call.

How did they get her to sober up? According to other ‘stories’, she was a babbling mess and that is why Podesta was sent to quell the troups and say she would not make a statement until the next morning.

No the rumour is that she flung an expensive champagne bottle through a high tech television set.

I saw that and said "Yeah Right, she's gone to bed." Gimme a break. Only way she was in bed was if someone carried her there to sleep it off.

Lies are bad, but Dems are resorting to Stupid Lies. I don't what's worse, the lying, or the fact that they think I'm stupid enough to believe them.

For life. Really. Titles of high government officials and judges become honorifics.

“Hey, Huma. What’s up?”

Hillary's blood pressure. She just upended a table and threw a glass at Robby Mook after screeching at John Podesta to shut up. Bill slipped out to leave me to deal with her.

The title of the last position you held stays with you for life. Do I agree? Of course not. It’s dumb.
