Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Just Said What We’re All Thinking: ‘Trump Is a Disgrace’

George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, said Monday that nothing Donald Trump says “can be taken at face value,” and that he is a “disgrace.”

George Conway was responding to a tweet from former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who called it a “disgrace” that Trump “acts in a way to necessitate” reporters asking if he has ever worked on behalf of Russia.

“And also a disgrace that nothing he says—not even his denial of something as extraordinary as this—can be taken at face value,” George Conway responded.

Mostly recently, Conway criticized Trump for his susceptibility to flattery in the context of North Korean denuclearization efforts. Conway shared a quote from a Psychology Today article that was unmistakably aimed at Trump: “Researchers found that … the key difference between unsuccessful and successful psychopaths is that the former behave impulsively and irresponsibly, whereas the latter are able to inhibit or at least restrain destructive tendencies and build on their achievements.”

Conway also criticized Trump after James Mattis suddenly resigned as Secretary of Defense. At the time, he said Mattis’ resignation letter “speaks volumes” since he did not say “a word of praise for Trump.”

“Not a word of praise for Trump. Speaks volumes,” he said. “No pro forma ‘it has been a privilege to have worked with you to [something],’ or formulaic ‘I am proud that we were able to [fill in here]’—or even the usually obligatory ‘thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve,’” he continued.
