Rachel Maddow faced off with Kellyanne Conway for a lengthy interview tonight, and she devoted a whole segment of it to asking about Donald Trump‘s relationship with the media.

Maddow highlighted Trump’s singling out of individual reporters, and pointed to ABC’s Martha Raddatz in particular. Raddatz’s comments about the prospect of a Trump presidency got a lot of pickup online, and Trump himself said she was “crying.”

ABC News and Raddatz have both strongly refuted that account, and Maddow asked if this will be how reporters will be treated under a Trump presidency.

Conway said she has had discussions with ABC and the president-elect since he made those remarks.

Maddow suggested that Trump should be making a public apology for that because his initial comment was made in public. Conway hinted at an “update” since then and only told Maddow, “It would make you happy.”

She did add to Maddow that she is personally ‘pro-press,” but “it is frustrating oftentimes if you’re in Trumpworld to be not be able to get your message out.”

Maddow also got in a back-and-forth with Conway about Melania Trump using the same lawyer Hulk Hogan did in the Gawker case, asking if the Trump family believes in “disappear[ing] journalistic enterprises.” Conway claimed they just believe in responding to lies that are told about the soon-to-be First Lady.
