Fox News liberal-leaning political analyst Juan Williams on Tuesday called out former Trump White House counselor Kellyanne Conway to her face, live on the air for her spin on what was purportedly Donald Trumps speech on what he plans to do with the economy if he wins the 2024 election.

Conway claimed the former president got very granular with his lengthy address in Georgia and argued it was a challenge to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to stop talking in generics and be more granular.

Williams, though, wasnt having it.

You know, Kellyanne said he got granular. Im still waiting for the grain here, the granular pieces, because, to me, this was a speech in which hes trying to set out a new policy, I guess [] but all I heard from him was attacks on Harris, Comrade Kamala. For an hour and a half, Kamala is a communist.

Conway, who during Trumps presidency displayed her penchant for alternative facts , pushed back, saying: Come on, Juan. You have the text in front of you. Dont say that.

Williams was undeterred.

This was pretty much just an ad hominem personal attack, he said. It made for like a rally-like atmosphere. It was a brash promise that hes making to make everything better, he says, Itll be so easy. But the reality is, even as he attacks Harris, he ignores the fact the U.S. economy right now is growing even after COVID. Its the best on the globe. Manufacturing fell to its lowest under Trump.

Williams said he hadnt heard any new policies from Trump and that it was just the same old schtick from the ex-POTUS.

Conway told Williams, I just cant sit here and abide these lies.

To which Williams fired back, Its not a lie. Its the absolute truth.
