After the release of the report on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, then-White House counselor Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News.
While the report by former FBI director Robert Muller did not find that Donald Trump committed a crime, it did not exonerate him on obstruction of justice.
The report found that no one in Trump's inner circle coordinated with Russia during the election.
The findings and letdown they represented for the Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd would be discussed on Fox News Sunday.
She wrote that this especially newsy weekend also included a surge in border crossings and Trump's announcement that he was challenging the law in the courts. I kept up with the facts about the southern border and the state of healthcare and insurance coverage.
The veteran pollster pointed viewers to the allegations made against Joe Biden by Lucy Flores, who was once a candidate for lieutenant governor.
Wallace asked about George Conway, a conservative lawyer turned Trump critic who had started to make headlines for his provocative statements against his wife.
She was not amused that she had to discuss a topic that she didn't see as relevant.
Wallace, a ratings-hungry anchor, had a full plate of breaking news in front of him. He introduced a new spin on the matter, which was based on a theory from New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who said that she had declined an assignment from Vanity Fair to write a piece about George and me.
Wallace asked me if my husband was trying to get me to quit, as if he were covering the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 or the building of the border wall in 2019. Do you think he is jealous of your high profile?
She pivoted away from the line of questioning, remarking that she would not bebullied into speaking about her husband.
I had sadly and privately concluded that yes and possible were the answers to those questions, even though I was not going to be real-time and real-life bullied into discussing all this on national television. My children didn't need their parents to fight.
She said that she was speaking as a mother, not just as a senior counselor or a spouse. Wallace was unmoved. He went for the clickbait.
I guess the question I have to ask is, has this hurt your marriage?
Oprah asked Chris, what are you now? I mean, what are you doing on a couch?
Wallace left Fox News for CNN+ in December, but after the streaming service folded shortly after it launched in March, it was announced that he would have a new show on CNN.
A representative for Wallace did not reply immediately.
