WATCH: Bill Maher Has Fiery Trump Debate About Trump With Kellyanne Conway

The actions of Donald Trump while he was in the White House were almost always indefensible. That doesn’t mean, however, that people weren’t going to try. And no one defended the 45th President more often than Kellyanne Conway.

The former adviser recently wrote a book detailing her time in the White House. And she is still defending Trump to this day. During a weekend appearance on HBO’s Real Time, she debated the former President’s legacy with Bill Maher.

The exchange went like this:

“KELLYANNE CONWAY: If he committed crimes then somebody will have to prosecute that. But that’s not what these hearings are.

KELLYANNE CONWAY: He thinks he won the election. I disagree with you completely.

BILL MAHER: I don’t we neither one of us knows what’s in his mind —

KELLYANNE CONWAY: He thinks he won the election. That is just incorrect. He thinks he won the election. I’m one of the few people around —

BILL MAHER: Well that’s even sadder. Again, it’s this debate. Is he stupid or crazy?”
