Former Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway's latest acrobatic effort to portray the president-elect in a less-than-Satanic light pertained to recent hacking allegations against the Russian government. Conway argued that top Democrats and Hillary Clinton are to blame for chasing a dusty lead and hindering the transition effort.

"If you want to shut this down and you actually love the country enough to have this peaceful transition in our great democracy between the Obama administration and the Trump administration," she told Fox News's Martha MacCallum on Friday, "there are a couple people in pretty prominent positions — one's named Obama, one's named Hillary Clinton — since there's people trying to fight over her election still, they can shut this down."

New York Rep. Chris Collins seems to agree with Conway.
