White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway took part in a media forum on Wednesday morning, where she defended Donald Trump while shrugging off the notion that she contributed to the negative relationship between the president and the press.

Conway spoke with Michael Wolff at the Newseums President and the Press event, where they brought up The Washington Posts tagline Democracy Dies in Darkness. The paper adopted the slogan approximately one month after Trump was sworn into office, and Wolff told Conway that when they say democracy dies in darkness, youre the darkness.

Didnt you see the skit Walking on Sunshine, Conway said, shaking her head. Just because somebody says something doesnt make it true.

Conway seemed to be referring to a Saturday Night Live skit from last year, where Kate McKinnon depicted her as she tried (and failed) to have a joyful day off from politics to the tune of Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine.

Conway seemed to get pushback from the audience at certain points, particularly as she spoke about the media and falsehoods. At one point, there was laughter from the attendees when Conway said You can turn on the TVand people literally say things that just arent true.
