WASHINGTON Attorney George Conway, whose wife Kellyanne Conway works as a counselor to President Donald Trump, said in a
Washington Post op-ed on Monday that he had no more doubt: the president is a racist.
Conway, who initially supported Trump but has become one of the president's fiercest critics since he took office, said that despite his problems with Trump he had held off judging him to be a bigot. But after Trump's tweets Sunday telling a group of minority Democratic congresswomen three of whom were born in the U.S. to "go back" to the countries they "originally came from" he could no longer avoid the conclusion.
"No, I thought, President Trump was boorish, dim-witted, inarticulate, incoherent, narcissistic and insensitive. Hes a pathetic bully but an equal-opportunity bully in his uniquely crass and crude manner, hell attack anyone he thinks is critical of him. No matter how much I found him ultimately unfit, I still gave him the benefit of the doubt about being a racist," Conway said.
"But Sunday left no doubt. Naivete, resentment and outright racism, roiled in a toxic mix, have given us a racist president."
He said Trump's comments about Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were "racist to the core."
