George Conway maxes out on campaign contribution to Dem opponent of Elise Stefanik after calling GOP lawmaker lying trash
On Saturday, conservative lawyer George Conway tweeted sharp criticism of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for deliberately breaking House procedural rules and then complaining that Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) was refusing to let her speak an act that was widely considered to be a stunt for attention from right-wing media.
Conway, the husband of counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway and a frequent critic of the Trump administration, referred to Stefanik as lying trash and exhorted people to donate to her 2020 Democratic opponent Tedra Cobb while donating the maximum allowed contribution himself.

(102,267 posts)and like a reformed smoker sometimes can be the most "devout" about the issue, so, too are Conway and some of his "seen the light" conservatives.

Unlike tRump and his band of grifters, he is honoring that oath.

(3,696 posts)I have no problem with "never Trumpers". They mostly are sane Republicans who are socially liberal. Some of them have done a better job than our left leaning Media critiquing Trump. I include Wilson, Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot in that group. Their take downs of Trump have been epic. Same with Conway but I can't get over the fact he's married to KellyAnne who defends Trump bullsh*t on a daily basis.

Actually doing well?

(3,635 posts)he was powerful at desconstructing Trump. For some reason the Never-Trumpers seem much better at this than many of on our side sometimes.
The Conway couple is nothing like Carville/Matalin, both of whom were mavericky moderates within their respective parties, thus I could see them having common ground.
Conway vs Conway is a bitter divide, wonder how they can live in the same household, I don't really understand it.

Opinion pieces in various outlets. Wife who spouts nonsense.
Until they start doing real work to support people who are going to uphold our government, I can't believe him.
Show us that you are trying to convince the real voting population that djt is the anti-christ/anti-human.
Since you and your party caused the rise of the false-news/fux channel, can you get those glass-eyed viewers to understand that djt and the current (r)epuglicon party is the opposite of their needs?
