Kellyanne Conway says government shutdown ‘not about politics’

White House advisor Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday that the government shutdown is “not about politics.” “To us it has nothing to do with 2020. The president has made that very clear. It’s not about politics. It’s the right thing to do. It’s not even a campaign promise. It’s his solemn duty to keep us all safe, and he sees this as one way to do that,” she said.
