And sources tell us that general mattis supports retired army general David Petraeus for that position. He is competing against Rudy Giuliani and mitt romney and tennessee senator bob corker.

The two sides faced off yesterday at a Harvard University forum that is held every four years. And usually a respectful look back at the campaign, but the meeting descended into a shouting match, according to the the washington post. Nancy cordes was there at harvard and now in washington. Reporter the most contentious moments 90 minutes into the session as the trump aides describing the brilliance of their ceo steve bannon and too much for the Clinton Campaign and Clinton Communications director Jennifer Palmieri started to push back and calling out the white house chief strategist was not at the meeting when she called is harnessing racial undertones to win. Youll hear audio of her and cl then Kellyanne Conway saying clinton lost because of not connecting to white class voters. If providing a platform for white supremists makes me a bit tactician, im glad to have lost. Do you think i ran a campaign where white supremists had a platform . Are you going to look me in the face and tell me that . , he is your president , how is that . If he is going to be my president then he needs to show me that White Supremacy is not acceptable just steps a million times you know and now youre just lying a couple of hours later at his indiana rally, donald trump denounced the altright nationalist movement. At this forum, both sides accused each other of focusing too heavily on their negative were particularly sore about the Media Coverage of clintons private email server with palmieri saying it will go down as the most grossly overrated and overcovered and most destructive story in all of president ial politics. Gayle . Nancy, thank you. The president elect senior transition adviser Kellyanne Conway is on the campus of harvard where the event took place. Good morning. It sounds like quite a night last night reporter good morning, lot about the election from the mechanics and messaging point of view and, obviously, some of these feelings are still raw. I think most people are not prepared for donald trump to become the next president of the united states, and you had a group of professionals and later robby mook and i discussing what went on in the hardfought campaign. Reporter we heard you were accused last night of giving a platform to white supremacist. Do you think that perception still exists a concerned about that . Well, its not a fact. Its just completely false. And that is why i asked jen palmieri, Communications Director for hillary clinton, if she would look me in the eye and tell me i ran a campaign that would allow that. She had yes, she would. Well, and that is unfortunate. I took that personally and i know its not true, gayle. And, you know, president elect trump has denounced every single element of that awful movement. Endorsement. He denounced ontherecord interview with the New York Times last week. I think some people are stuck in the Permanent Campaign and ought to realize that donald trump won 306 electoral states and counties that president obama carried are in the donald trump column. It tells you people across the america were attracted to his message and his message of growth and jobre patriotism and better trade deals. What happened just yesterday . Thats what president s do just yesterday. President elect trump and Vice President elect preence wednesd to indianapolis and announced carrier would keep a thousand jobs in indianapolis that were thought to go to mexico. Leaders make good on their promises and keep american jobs in america. We spoke to many workers who are grateful they are going to still have their jobs. Page, however, this morning calls trumps carrier deal arm twisting of a company. Is this a sustainable strategy to boost the economy . But that is a false characterization. During those talks which were very genial between the carrier and ceo and president elect trump and Vice President elect trump were talking about how to Work Together. H he is no longer a contender and are you widening the search for secretary of state . I wont divulge private conversations that havent been made public but i will tell you, gayle, that decision has not been made by the president elect. He will make that ultimate decision as to secretary of state. Its a very important decision, as are off the senior posts and senior staff appointments. A number of qualified men and women to hold that post and the president elect and Vice President elect are gathering such an important decision. Major garrett is reporting this morning that general mattis who is mr. Trumps choice for defense secretary supports petraeus as secretary of state. Do you think that will weigh heavily with mr. Trump . General petraeus was in trump tower to meet with the president elect and they had an hour long meeting and very productive and constructive meeting and i know the president elect was impressed with that meeting with general petraeus and for good it weighs in the Decision Making fox can see they can Work Together whether an Economic Team or National Security team or other advisers in the cabinet or elsewhere, norah. We know who makes the ultimate decision here and its donald trump. But it does matter to him to take the counsel of these people whoever he trusts to be in his cabinet. You suggested earlier that donald Trump Supporters would feel betrayed if mitt romney got the position of secretary of state. Do you still feel that they feel that way, some of them . Just breathtaking backlash that i was seeing and hearing in private communications, so social media and elsewhere, with respect to the possible appointment of mitt romney. And look. Ive been on the record as talking about that. Mr. Trump has said that he gave me permission to talk about that publicly. So ive been doing that. But ultimately that decision is Donald Trumps. I would note there are a number of people in contention for that. He is still being considered for th as we have publicly said, there are four people, as of yesterday, who are in contention for secretary of state. That list may expand or the list may narrow. I mow the president elect will make his choice public in due course. We will see if due course is next week. Kellyanne conway, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you for having me.
