George Conway Lashes Out at Female Republican on Intel Committee, Calls Her 'Lying Trash'

George Conway, husband to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, appears not to be in high spirits this Saturday, following a week during which he appeared on MSNBC for impeachment hearing coverage and was in public spats with both Donald Trump Jr. and Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale.

Conway was very busy all morning on Twitter, both sharing his own thoughts and retweeting articles and other tweets. Of particular focus was Elise Stefanik, Republican congresswoman from New York, and her opponent for 2020, Democrat Tedra Cobb.

He began that focused attention first by retweeting MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. Ruhle was herself retweeting Stefanik, who said that Democrats were attacking her for “exposing” the Democrats’ “#RegimeofSecrecy” with her questions during impeachment hearings. Ruhle said that Stefanik “hurts women” by claiming the male Democrats who ganged up on her acted out of sexist motive — a claim not made in that tweet.

. . .

But it was his own post that really went for the throat, when he referred to Stefanik as “lying trash.” He was retweeting a Center for American Progress chart showing how much time was afforded to members of the committee during the hearing.

1. Stefanik

I can’t stand her, but he really shouldn’t have said that.

4. IIRC, she's a Harvard graduate, and should know right from wrong. Clearly

She doesn't give a shit for her reputation.

8. Two wrongs don't make a right.

He could have blasted her for her actions and left it at that. Name-calling, especially the name he chose to use: not a good way to make his point. He just lowered himself to her level, imo.

9. Meh, I've seen enough of niceties towards Republican scumbags, to be fair

Most recent prime example for me was Elijah Cummings standing up for that scumbag Meadows, and when the shoe was on the other foot, he went to ground like the snivelling rat he is.

2. Speaking of Tedra Cobb

As of this morning she has 216K followers, up from 6K on Friday morning.

3. To be fair, he has a point.

5. Just pizzed cause the process is orderly.

They want complete chaos.

6. And here's the chart

7. Would headline itself ever read "so-and-so lashes out at male Republican on committee..."

The women may be yet another lying Republican, but she has a name.
So weird that editors insist on calling people “female (fill in the noun)” instead of using their names.
