DC’s Most Complicated Couple Retreats From Public Life After Daughter Erupts On Twitter

Longtime White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway and her husband, George Conway, a co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, announced on Sunday night their departures from their high-profile posts following their teenage daughter’s outburst on Twitter over the weekend.

So for once, maybe the “leaving for my family” excuse is actually legit?

And probably best for the entire family.

Agreed. Though since I’m obviously a bad person, it doesn’t make it any less delicious.

For all of KAC’s lies, vileness and gloating for her boss, kudos that she and GC are giving time to their family.

I never could understand how a marriage could survive if the spouses held such different political views. With James Carville and Mary Matalin, I just assumed it was all about the grift. Maybe that’s the same for these two. Anyway, you can certainly hear in the daughter’s voice that she misses real parenting. Money can’t buy you love.

Kellyanne knows what she’s doing. She’s very likely preparing for big time, tell all book. The timing of her departure may genuinely have something to do with her daughter, or it may just be part of the scheme. I don’t know.

What I do know is that Kellyanne not being a part of the Trump team is probably good for Democracy. She has done enough damage to the Republic.

Good for them, and good for their daughter. I sincerely hope I am wrong in thinking that by the time the teenager - any teenager - erupts like that, it’s already too late.

yeah, i’m sure it has nothing to do with having to face the news media (since there’s nothing more they love to gorge on than family drama) during the most critical week of republicon politics.

good riddance to a calculating, repulsive and malicious couple.

Interesting. And Kellyanne was scheduled to speak at the RNC.

All teenagers erupt like that. Only thing unusual is the parents are surprised.

It must be hellish to be their child. Both parents delight in taking down others and doing it with a flourish. Hard to believe that doesn’t happen at home too. I’m sorry for the kids.

Not necessarily too late but serious. Also, there are three other kids, and whatever is going on here, they’re affected too.

So does this mean Kellyanne absolutely will not be speaking at the RNC? Please, please. I’ll take whatever we can get in terms of stopping this sh*t charade, even one bit at a time.

Of course it was/is. Absolutely the same here.

That said, I think that KAC is a very sick fuck. No one lies with that much malice and manipulative skill w/out decades of practice–including quite likely her own children.

And, while I hope the child survives, I insist that there can be no whitewashing of KAC. She can never be permitted to deny what she did.

As of some posts this AM, she still is.

With this family, it seems the train has already left the station. The damage is done and it will be hard to repair. The adults made their decisions, both seemingly for ill.

Being a 15 year old girl is its own special Hell.

Yes, and she’s not leaving until next week, right? After the convention.

I didn’t even know that they had children.
