Holding up a printout of The Post in a Sunday night interview with Fox News, Conway slammed the headline that read described Al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State.”

Conway was not the first to do so, with the headline widely discussed on social media and finally changed to “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, extremist leader of Islamic State, dies at 48.”

Speaking to Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, Conway said the newspaper had been “kind” to the militant leader, who was killed in a raid carried out by U.S. forces in northern Syria, also suggesting that has al-Baghdadi been a member of Trump’s administration, his obituary would have been more damning.

“I just want to say this last thing on behalf of the president in the White House,” Conway said holding up the headline.

“This obituary was a disgrace and I would ask The Washington Post – close your eyes and pretend that al-Baghdadi worked in the Trump White House and then go re-write your obituary – I bet you wouldn’t be as kind.”

Announcing the raid on Sunday, President Donald Trump said in a televised statement: “Last night the United States brought the world’s No. 1 terrorist leader to justice,” Trump said at the White House early Sunday in a televised address to the nation.

“He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place. He was a sick and depraved man, and now he’s gone,” he added.

It is not the first time Conway has held up visual aids to help make her point in televised interviews. The White House counsellor famously used props to demonstrate she didn’t believe there was collusion between Trump and Russia.

Holding up signs with “conclusion? Collusion” written on them and using a pen to cross out the word “collusion,” Conway attempted to explain what was being reported in the news during a stint on Hannity – but found herself widely mocked for using pieces of paper to explain the Russia probe.

The stunt joined other awkward moments in Conway media appearances, including the counsellor coining the phrase “alternative facts,” and mourning victims of the non-existent Bowling Green massacre.
