[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] Friday’s Good Morning America quickly got heated during a hostile interview with anchor George Stephanopoulos and Trump’s Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway.

Stephanopoulos bristled after Conway noted that the media is only questioning Trump’s camp about the election results, instead of Clinton’s, after hyping the importance of the electoral college pre-election. "No one is questioning the victory," the ABC anchor complained to Conway, trying to change the topic when Conway brought up the recount effort led by the left.

In the tape, Clinton aides argue with Conway that they should’ve won the election since they had more of the popular vote.

Conway responded that Trump was reaching out to people in "many different ways" and keeping on his promise from election night to be "president of all Americans" before noting that Clinton and Obama had previously harped on Trump to accept the election results but once Clinton lost, they can’t accept the results themselves. Stephanopoulos then shifted gears and demanded Conway answer for making a "false statement" about millions of illegal aliens voting in the election:
