President Donald Trump made a surprise introduction midway through his Monday rally at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The president stopped and looked to the side of the stage, and recognized perhaps the two most well-known women in his administration. “I have two other great women with me. Youve never heard of them,” Trump said, “Theyre very shy — Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.”

She began with an apology. “Youll have to forgive Kellyanne and I. Were a little speechless because were not used to friendly crowds,” Sanders said to roars from the audience. Sanders is famous for jousting with a contentious press corps at the White House.

When Kellyanne took the mic, she said, “If you think your vote doesnt count, if you think it doesnt matter to have a small majority in the US Senate, you did not live through the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
