White House aide Conway says she was sexual assault victim

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that she was once a victim of sexual assault, but women’s shared outrage over such misconduct shouldn’t affect Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.

Conway made the comments on CNN’s “State of the Union” while defending Kavanaugh against sexual misconduct allegations. She argued that his opponents were wrongly politicizing his nomination and turning it into a “meeting of the #MeToo movement.” Conway did not elaborate Sunday on her experience.
