Kellyanne Conway’s daughter, Claudia, recently made a name for herself across social media with her avidly anti-Trump posts. Kellyanne, of course, has worked for a long time as a staffer for Donald Trump — she went from leading his campaign into the 2016 election to working in the White House as a presidential adviser. She’s been pretty much entirely unwavering in her support of the president and his policy agenda. Claudia, meanwhile, has made her opposition to Trump clear. Recently, she posted on Twitter that her parents were making her leave social media, but she left a final (for now) message admonishing her followers to keep up the fight against Trumpism.
She posted:
‘my parents are forcing me to delete social media so this is my last tweet. apparently, i don’t have a platform! it’s fake! love you all so much. keep fighting.’

That post came on July 13. About ten days prior, her father, George Conway, had posted on Twitter that Claudia would not be available to speak to any journalists. That post came after Claudia spoke with a reporter from Business Insider in late June. For that interview, which was conducted over the phone, George sat in the room on Claudia’s end of the call.
On July 3, George Conway posted:
‘To journalists: @kellyannepolls and I do *not* consent to any communications between you and any of our minor children, including our daughter Claudia. So desist. Thank you.’

George Conway has actually conducted a lot of his own anti-Trump activism, making Kellyanne seem like the odd one out in her immediate family. George Conway, who is a lawyer, helps lead The Lincoln Project, which is a group of anti-Trump Republicans who have released an ever-increasing list of video ads targeting the president that have quickly and repeatedly gone viral.
Trump has tweeted about George in the past. Although Conway didn’t even want a job in the administration, at one point, Trump tweeted:
‘George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife’s success & angry that I, with her help, didn’t give him the job he so desperately wanted. I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!’
