On CNN, John Avlon likewise turned the Schneiderman story around on Trump.
Commenting on Conway's tweet, Avlon said, "They’re doing it in kind of a literally ‘Gotcha’ sort of dance on the political grave way as opposed to taking the high ground and saying this kind of violence against women is unacceptable by anyone, let alone elite chief law enforcement officer, where this is clearly case of pattern of abuse of power and arrogance of power, and presumably they’re not taking that tact not because it’s not the right thing to do, because they’re afraid they live in a glass house or at least their principal does."
"That itself is sort of pathetic," Avlon went on. "This demands a response that’s a little bit bigger than petty politics because the charges, the allegations themselves are really serious. And for the members of the White House staff not to take the obvious high road of saying this is something we all need to condemn, itself is a sign of how small our politics have become.”\
