It\u2019s even better than the way I portrayed it. This happened yesterday afternoon outside the White House. Kellyanne Conway held her own little press conference, and that chief little maggot&#8230; I\u2019m sorry, not maggot. I didn\u2019t mean to say &#8220;maggot.&#8221; I meant to say &#8220;gnat.&#8221; Jim Acosta from CNN starts asking her a question, and it\u2019s just&#8230; You know, the whole premise of the question is snarky.

The fact-checkers need to take a bunch of naps during the day, get a lot of sleep the night before, because they\u2019re gonna be busier than they\u2019ve ever been because Trump\u2019s gonna tell so many whoppers.<\/p>\n<p>This is how that little gnat, Jim Acosta, broached the subject with Kellyanne Conway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>ACOSTA: Can you promise that the president will tell the truth tonight?
