As the House select committee investigating January 6 zeroes in on the key players behind in the deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, conservative attorney and Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway has revealed telling information about his wife Kellyanne Conway someone he knows “very well”.
Speaking to The Bulwark’s “Beg to Differ” podcast this week, Conway implied that Kellyanne thinks Trump ran a “crappy campaign” and suggested the ex-president might be laying the groundwork to plead insanity should he be charged with any crimes related to the attack.
“[Trump] learned in so many different ways that he had lost,” Conway said, “And, frankly, he said to people, one of whom I know very well, but I won’t specify who she is, ‘How could I have lost to this guy?’ And she basically said, ‘You know, you ran a crappy campaign.’ She wasn’t alone in telling him that. I’m not—again—I’m not going to say who that was.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
While Conway didn’t identify who the person was that said this, most assume he was referring to Kellyanne, who served as Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and Counselor to the President from 2017 to 2020 before stepping down to try and save her crumbling marriage “spend more time with her family.”
Conway went on to say that Trump is fully aware he lost the 2020 election fair and square and that there was no widespread voter fraud, but that he’s only pretending to believe otherwise in an attempt to seem crazy and avoid prosecution.
“So, he knew he lost, okay? He admitted from time to time that he lost, ‘How could I lose to that guy?'” Conway explained. “And the only way he can get out from under that is to basically try to prove that he is completely delusional and stupid.”
Will it work? Conway doesn’t think so.
“I don’t think it would be enough,” he opined. “Especially before a jury in the District of Columbia. And the first jury to hear a January 6th case convicted a January 6th defendant in four hours. So, there’s a big problem here that he has.”

“If somebody takes this seriously at the Justice Department–and if you take Merrick Garland at his word, because he said in a speech back in January, that they were not going to draw any artificial lines about who they could prosecute—they were going to go work their way up in the way that you do in mob investigations, and other large investigations.”
“You have to look at Donald Trump,” Conway concluded, “because all the roads lead to him.”

So Kellyanne says that the guy SHE ADVISED ran a crappy campaign. LOL
Also, this seems like it was always the plan for the Conways. George breaks from Trump, Kellyanne stays with him, that way, no matter what happened they were covered. Now George and Kellyanne will try to rehabilitate her image.
THAT Steve
The man has zero impulse control so Ms. Conway could have given a guaranteed blueprint for reelection and he would deviated from it within seconds of starting.

Kellyanne CONway is just bitter because trump’s hairdresser rescinded her membership to “Straws-R-Us”!!!!!!!!

It’s really trashy that he always feels the need to use put his wife in a negative light. She doesn’t do that to him. He’s a closet case if I ever saw one. Come out George along with your pedophile friends in the Lincoln Project.

Hi Marcy Mayer,
And actually Kellyanne was reported to have given attack material to reporters about her husband.
But it’s cute you keep trying to lie to defend anti-American Trump supporters, who, in this case also seem to be child abusers.

Of course it’s trashy. They are both regressive, his only redeeming factor being opposition to Trump and Trumpism.
And the Lincoln Project did great work towards assuring that Trump lost the popular vote a second time. As for pedophiles, look the word up. It does not mean what most of the people who use it think it does.

Trashy, what is truly trashy is a straight guy pretending to be gay to go to this site to spew Trumps sh*t where no one is dumb enough to believe it. Like Samb or is THIS samb as he likes to use different screen names to say the same nonsense thinking THAT is fooling anyone. George isnt a closet case he just likes trashy women.

Awwww. George Conway, while not my favorite person, is a hero compared to his trash bitch of a wife who lied lied lied for Trump. She can trash Trump all she wants now; it doesn’t undo the damage she did and we should never forget that. Forgiveness doesn’t apply in her case. Feds locking her wrinkly ass up for 10 years sounds like a wonderful idea though.
