Uh Oh 🙂 Kellyanne Conway was the inspiration for her husband's anti-Trump Lincoln Project..




Kellyanne Conway was the inspiration for her husband’s anti-Trump Lincoln Project attacks on the president

From Article at RAWSTORY:
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/06/kellyanne-conway-was-the-inspiration-for-her-husbands-anti-trump-lincoln-project-attacks-on-the-president-report/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

According to a deep dive by *Politico into the success that the conservative anti-Trump Lincoln Project is having getting under the president’s skin, one of the founders of the group admitted that the inspiration for a rapid response team came from the wife of one of the other founders.

That would be a counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway, wife of Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway.


SNIP
According to the *Politico report , the genesis of the group can be attributed to founding member Conway after speaking with his wife.

“Galen had co-founded the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC run by Republicans, with the goal of convincing Americans to vote against him in November. In May, the group thought Trump’s response to the pandemic had created the perfect opportunity to both make their case,” the report stated.
Off of a brainwave that cofounder George Conway had during a conversation with his wife, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, Galen and his small team guessed Trump would be particularly enraged by an in-the-moment ad that portrayed the president as making Americans ‘weaker, sicker and poorer’ than ever before.”

"Don't even try and paint Kellyann as a good person who's helping ."

"I just don't buy it....she was batshit crazy before trump. Just watch her on Bill Maher during the Obama years. Scary."

She's got a reputation for RW hate & propaganda dating back to Bill Clinton, along with her pal Ann Coulter.

There's no cleaning her up after Trump.
She'll wear the stink she been bathing in for the rest of her life.
She goes down with Trump's ship.& her husband can't save her.

Gaad she's gross.

this revelation by the intelligence community.

He's been caught turning a blind eye to Putin putting a bounty on our American & UK soldiers getting killed by the taliban.

And, of course, Hillary warned us..

She gets dead fking silence from the biggest culprits

They should hang their heads in shame.

The catastrophe, the Serbs, the the babies at the border, mass protests over racism that was given the greenlight, the crashing economy, 30,000,000 jobless people & 130,000+ dead Americans from a virus that would never have become so lethal under her watch and Vladimer Putin running our domestic & foreign policy via Donald Trump, & that's just for starters.

And those who chose "just not her", now shriek loudly "OMG!! Why won't the Democrats Do Something!!"

What! Now the Democrats are suppose to fix their mistake?
Gdammit that's insulting.


WTF. We all knew who Trump was. We believed her when she told us.

Its not the Democrats that chose to the lay out the welcome mat for a lying mob connected psychopath named Trump.


Since they just can't own their mistake nor offer an apology to that Democratic candidate, then at least
💙 VOTE BIDEN & His Democrats in November.

What an eff'd up mess.

F you Kellyanne Conway.
She's been running her mouth against the Democrats & the Clintons since she left her pollster job to be Coulter's sidkick against President Bill Clinton.
She's been a propagandist of sleaze & smear since then.

Vomit. 🤢

She has a job to do. That job is to defend the indefensible, to spin, to obfuscate – and to just blatantly lie.

And you have to admit, she’s good at her job.

Remembering the things she said about Trump when she was backing Ted Cruz, and comparing them to the things she said when Trump appointed her as his campaign manager, it is blatantly apparent that she’s a political whore who goes where the money is.

However, she lost her footing when she stayed on as his press secretary. She’s like a wedding planner who pulled off the most spectacular wedding day ceremony in history – and then decided that instead of moving on to the next couple, chose to stick around for the ugly, mud-slinging divorce.

There was a time when having ”I helped elect Donald Trump to the presidency” looked good on the ol’ resume – but those days are gone. It’s a toxic connection now, and it will become more toxic once the Dotard is out of office.

“Everything Trump touches dies” – and Kellyanne will soon be just another fatality.

to play both sides. If Trump wins, then they say George was secretly working for trump from the inside of the opposition and if Trump loses, Kellyanne will say she was working against Trump from the inside.

That said, I do think George sincerely hates Trump

and Molly Jong-Fast. Conway said that in 2016, Brad Parscale apologised to Kellyanne Conway for running ads in the Washington DC area - a waste of money. But George Conway thought people needed to run ads to get Trump riled up, to both throw him off his message and to show how nuts he is:

"I was at Trump Tower in 2016, when Parscale came grovelling up to my wife, to apologise. His people had bought ads in the District of Columbia, which you don't do in a presidential election! There are no persuadable voters in the District of Columbia! ... That said, it stuck in my mind, I was thinking why can't you just run an ad on a cable provider for the White House, so that some certain individual would see it? We talked about that at lunch, I sprang some ideas for ads ..."

Starts about 13 minutes into the podcast: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-george-conway-moved-into-donald-trumps-head

They really despise Trump - they're sure he's listening, but then one wonders if Trump could manage to work out how to listen to a podcast, and they take the piss out of him saying he's a "stable genius" with a brilliant uncle and so on.
