President-elect Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway dodged answering whether Trump's baseless tweet that "millions" voted illegally is true when she appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning.
Trump inaccurately wrote in a tweet last week that millions of people voted for Hillary Clinton illegally -- a claim without any basis in fact.
"In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," Trump said.
Clinton currently leads the national popular vote by more than 2.3 million votes.
When asked if it is appropriate for Trump to make false statements like that, she said, "many people are questioning the victory" and "the president-elect has been talking to different people ... about voting irregularities and the number of illegal votes" cast. "I believe he based his information on that.
"He's been receiving information about the irregularities," like illegal votes, she said. "He is messaging to his supporters and the rest of the country the way he feels."
