Donald Trump has been having fun in his sick way, pitting his counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway against her husband George Conway III. Trump stood before reporters and called him the “husband from hell.” So what did Kellyanne do?
She defended Trump. Her husband is a Harvard-educated legal scholar with particular insight into the president’s mind. He has been heroically warning the public via tweet that POTUS was a mentally ill malignant narcissist, erratic, and unstable. The commander-in-chief has been thoroughly enjoying playing the macabre puppet master to these two bright people.
It must be some fun to live in the Conway home. The president’s top adviser appeared on the Fox Business Network to explain about her husband:
‘My husband also has been very critical of the president publicly, which is unlike him just because he’s traditionally been a very private person. In 2016, which was known as year of the tweet, George Conway sent exactly zero tweets. So this is new.’
Conway continued, noting that her husband supported “his quote wonderful wife:”
‘Also what is new is not supporting the agenda of the president and my work there. Because when George took himself out of contention for a top job in the Department of Justice, almost two years ago now, he put out a public statement that many in the media refuse to cover now, which is we’ve decide as a family it’s not the right time for both of us to have big jobs in the federal government. Her husband, she continued, also agreed that while he’d “stay in the private sector” he would continue to support “the president, the work of the administration, and of course his quote wonderful wife.’
Conway, however, indicated that she was disappointed with her husband’s activities:
‘I was raised though in a household of strong Italian Catholic women who taught me that you air grievances like that in private, so it is very surprising to see it be so public.’
The the president’s adviser threw George Conway under the bus, adding that he “wanted the solicitor general job, that didn’t work out:”
‘George decided he would like to do something different with his career, I totally supported that. He wanted the Solicitor General job, that didn’t work out. Then he was nominated or offered the job at Justice Department. I’ve always encouraged him, I think would he be a fantastic judge or law professor.’
Then, Kellyanne Conway asked for privacy:
‘But again, I don’t talk much about this publicly. I prefer not to address it, and if that means people are mischaracterizing me or my boss, or even George’s tweets — ‘
Fox host Maria Bartiromo asked Conway:
‘Does your husband know that? You say these grievances should be discussed in private, and yet he’s out tweeting. What does your husband say when you say “George let’s leave this private, not go on Twitter.”’
Kellyanne said her husband “can’t act” on his tweets:
‘You can ask George that, but I certainly have had this conversation. George is not Bob Mueller, he’s not (CNN reporter John) Berman, he’s not Rod Rosenstein. He can’t act on those tweets in a way.’
Then, Mrs. Conway pulled out the feminists card:
‘I don’t know when the feminists are going to write this story about the unusual situation of a man getting power through his wife. But that’s what we have here.’
