White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway lashed out at CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday, telling the anchor he “embarrassed himself” by asking about her husband’s recent appearance on MSNBC and implying the couple has marital issues.

“I think you embarrassed yourself,” she said. “I’m embarrassed for you because this is CNN now. I looked up to you when I was in college and law school. I would turn on CNN to see what Wolf Blitzer had to say about war, famine, disruption abroad, I really respected you for all those years as somebody who would give us the news. Now the news is what somebody’s husband says on a different network.”

The explosive segment was the result of George Conway, who often mocks President Trump on Twitter, making a rare TV appearance during MSNBC coverage of the impeachment hearing. Blitzer began the exchange by awkwardly saying he had a “sensitive” question for the White House advisor.

“It’s a political question, it’s a substantive question and I don’t want to talk about your marriage because I know that there are issues there,” Blitzer said before a shocked Conway interrupted.

“What did you just say? Did you just say there are issues there? You don’t want to talk about… why did you say that?” Conway asked.

“I don’t want to talk about your marriage… I want to talk about a substantive point that your husband, George Conway, made. He was on television all day yesterday during the first day of the impeachment hearings,” Blitzer responded.
