Alex Wong—Getty Images  by [Julia Zorthian](https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/)  ## Julia Zorthian May 11, 2017 3:43 PM UTC [Kellyanne Conway ](http://time.com/4685807/kellyanne-conway-oval-office-presidents-history/)[accused](https://twitter.com/foxandfriends/status/862635559017037824) CNN’s [Anderson Cooper](http://time.com/3580912/anderson-cooper-ridiculist-prank-by-staff/) of sexism Thursday after he rolled his eyes at her during a heated exchange on his show earlier this week. [Conway](http://time.com/4688147/kellyanne-conway-couch-meme/) made the claims during an appearance Thursday morning on “Fox & Friends” when she was asked about the eye roll. “Hillary Clinton is in search of sexism as a lame excuse for why her disastrous candidacy and campaign lost six months ago,” Conway said on Fox. “I face sexism a lot of times when I show up for interviews like that.” > [](https://twitter.com/foxandfriends/status/862635559017037824) Cooper did not immediately respond publicly to Conway’s accusation. The eye roll happened when Cooper played a montage of video clips showing Donald Trump praising Comey on the campaign trail, which he then followed with a question about the President’s firing of the [FBI director](http://time.com/4773210/donald-trump-fires-fbi-director-james-comey/). Conway responded by bringing up that Trump won Michigan. The exchange has since gone [gone viral](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2017/05/10/anderson-cooper-eyerolled-his-way-to-an-iconic-gif-while-interviewing-kellyanne-conway/), with many taking to Twitter to support Cooper’s reaction. > [](https://twitter.com/mattwilstein/status/862108167802462208) But Conway said she thought people would have reacted differently if she wasn’t the target. “Could you imagine…having a male anchor on the network roll eyes at Hillary Clinton, at somebody, a female representative spokeswoman for President Obama or President Bill Clinton? I think not,” Conway said during her appearance on “Fox and Friends.” Watch Cooper’s full interview with Conway below (the eye roll occurs just after the 10-minute mark). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4775611/kellyanne-conway-anderson-cooper-interview-sexism/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4775611/kellyanne-conway-anderson-cooper-interview-sexism/"},"headline":"Kellyanne Conway on Anderson Cooper's Eye Roll: 'I Face Sexism a Lot of Times'","datePublished":"2017-05-11T15:43:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:44:19.932Z","description":"She thinks the reaction would have been different if she wasn't the target","url":"https://time.com/4775611/kellyanne-conway-anderson-cooper-interview-sexism/","keywords":["motto","2016 Election","Television","viral","White House","Donald Trump","anderson cooper","kellyanne conway","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7497a48ca5a44cbd/6988cce7ab6d7718ca6ae100/kellyanne-conway-anderson-cooper-eye-roll-respond-fox-and-friends.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7497a48ca5a44cbd/6988cce7ab6d7718ca6ae100/kellyanne-conway-anderson-cooper-eye-roll-respond-fox-and-friends.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"kellyanne conway anderson cooper eye roll respond fox and friends","caption":"kellyanne conway anderson cooper eye roll respond fox and friends","creditText":"Alex Wong—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4775611/kellyanne-conway-anderson-cooper-interview-sexism/","name":"Kellyanne Conway on Anderson Cooper's Eye Roll: 'I Face Sexism a Lot of Times'"}}]}] ```
