George Conway Lashes Out At Trump Following Wife Kellyanne’s CNN Interview

George Conway, husband of White House aide Kellyanne, is known to disagree with the president for whom she happens to work. On Thursday night, he turned things up a notch on his already very vocal Twitter account, taking shots at Donald Trump immediately after the conclusion of Kellyanne’s insane, marathon CNN interview.

“Given that Trump has repeatedly lied about the Daniels and McDougal payments—and given that he lies about virtually everything else, to the point that his own former personal lawyer described him as a “f****ing liar”—why should we take his word over that of federal prosecutors?” Conway asked.

His tweet came ten minutes after the conclusion of Chris Cuomo‘s CNN show, on which Kellyanne was a guest.

During her nearly 40-minute sparring match with Cuomo, Kellyanne repeatedly denied that Trump had lied about his knowledge of the hush money payments to women claiming they had affairs with him. While Trump initially denied all knowledge of the six-figure payments, prosecutors have revealed he ordered his former lawyer Michael Cohen to make them.

Trump wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that he did not break campaign finance laws and “did nothing wrong” after a federal judge sentenced Cohen to three years in prison for pleading guilty to bank and tax fraud, lying to Congress and violating campaign finance laws.

“Those charges were just agreed to by [sic] him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook,” Trump wrote. “As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me!”

As you can imagine, Twitter was loving it:
