KELLYANNE CONWAY: Clinton, Obama Need To Calm Down Anti-Trump Protesters.

Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, said it is incumbent upon Hillary Clinton, President Obama and other Democratic leaders to calm their supporters and encourage a peaceful transition of power amid anti-Trump demonstrations that have swept U.S. cities since Election Day.

Trump is “there for them. And he is going to be a president that listens and takes the counsel of many different people, including those from the other side of the aisle,” Conway told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. ” . . . It’s time really for President Obama and Secretary Clinton to say to these protesters, ‘This man is our president.’” . . .

Speaking to host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” Conway also suggested that professional, paid protesters were behind the anti-Trump demonstrations across the country.

I’m sure that’s true, given the history of Jan Schakowsky’s (D-IL) husband Robert Creamer’s work inciting violence at Trump rallies while he was working for Hillary’s campaign.

Note that Creamer visited the Obama White House 342 times.

UPDATE: Posted in the comments: Anti-Trump Protests: Proof Of Professional Activist Involvement.

Once again, WikiLeaks comes through, with background on spontaneous protester Yong Jung Cho, who shows up in Podesta emails as “350 Action Campaign Coordinator.” Plus:

So USA Today’s first person from “all walks of life” is an organizer who has experience on the activist circuit, and in that capacity she worked on the presidential primary. Not exactly the “spontaneous concern” presented by the newspaper.

How about another source, someone that USA Today introduces by more than just a name? Here’s Phil Roeder, a public school official with no disclosed interest except the welfare of his students. . . .

So: Phil Roeder, concerned public servant without a partisan agenda, or veteran Democratic activist? Once again, WikiLeaks can shed some light on that question. In the same 2014 email from the Podesta collection, we find that many of the activists in the Iowa organization had private meetings with Obama and Clinton, and that Phil Roeder was prominent in the group. It is not surprising that he would want to be quoted in an anti-Trump piece after Clinton’s defeat, but it would be surprising for an honest newspaper to fail to disclose that connection to the readers. . . . If the demonstrations aren’t premeditated, then why are all these average citizens actually well-connected activists and protest organizers?

Read the whole thing. None of it will come as a deep surprise, but I expect that we’ll see more pushback this time around. (Bumped).
