Trump's campaign manager claims Republicans now opposed to Trump include men who 'rubbed against women and put their tongues in their mouths uninvited'
- Conway says she knows of legislators 'who have rubbed up against women and who have put their tongues in their mouths uninvited'
- 'And some of them, by the way, are on the list of people who won't support Donald Trump 'cause they all ride around on their high horse,' she said
- Conway says she knows of Washington bigwigs from both political parties who do force themselves on women
- 'I won't go any further into it - but they know who they are,' she stated
Donald Trump's campaign manager made a loaded charge Sunday evening against lawmakers blasting the Republican presidential nominee's conduct toward women.
'Some members of Congress' are guilty of making unwanted sexual advances, Kellyanne Conway said, and ought to get off their 'high horses.'
Conway told Fox News' Megyn Kelly she knows of current and former legislators 'who have rubbed up against women and who have put their tongues in their mouths uninvited.'
'Maybe when I was younger and prettier that may have happened to me,' she said.

Kelly's show wasn't the only one on which Conway made the claim.
She told 'Hardball' host Chris Matthews, 'I would talk to some members of Congress out there when I was younger and prettier, them rubbing up against girls, sticking their tongues down women's throats who were uninvited, who didn't like it.
'And some of them, by the way, are on the list of people who won't support Donald Trump 'cause they all ride around on their high horse.'
Dozens of Republican legislators have withdrawn their support from Trump since Friday night, when audio of the billionaire gloating in 2005 about his ability to grab women by the p**** was made public.
'In other words these people on their high horses are accusing him of being this awful person, and really the words I think are most harmful is when everybody’s running around saying he’s condoning sexual assault,' Conway told Kelly Sunday night.
'No, he’s not.'
Trump says says it was 'locker room' talk, and he did not grope women the way he said he did on the tape.
Conway says she knows of Washington bigwigs from both political parties who do force themselves on women, though.
'I won't go any further into it - but they know who they are,' she stated on Fox and Friends.
Conway said this morning on Fox and Friends that her 'high horses' comments were directed at lawmakers from both political parties. 'I won't go any further into it - but they know who they are,' she stated
The senior Trump aide was a pollster for Republicans before she was tapped to lead the White House contender's campaign in August.
She stood by her claim on Fox today, telling the morning show hosts, 'I just want to make the point very simply that people do get on their high horses, they do cast that first stone, and they just ought to really reflect, you know, look inside, and think about what their conduct, and their words have been over the years.'
Contrary to news reports, Conway says she did not contemplate a split from the campaign stepping down. 'No, I did not. I did not,' she stated.
If people want 'scintillating content' from the campaign trail, she said, 'they should just watch the contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. They don't need to make stuff up.'
She did have a private conversation with Trump, his wife Melania and Mike Pence about the original remarks and the former reality TV show host's apology, though, Conway said, declining to expound on the topic.
