Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Donald Trump, exited a meeting at the U.S. Capitol through a back door on Wednesday to avoid a CNN reporter's question on Trump's "no tolerance" policy of separating families at the border.

"Just tried to grab @KellyannePolls while she was at a Hill opioids event and was courteous with her staff about wanting to talk to her," Diaz wrote. "[S]he left through a back door to avoid me."

On Sunday, Conway told NBC News that "nobody likes" the family separation policy. But she falsely blamed Democrats -- even though Trump could end the practice with an executive order or telephone call to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
