Trump lashes out at Kellyanne Conway and tells her to 'go back to her crazy husband'

Former president Donald Trump has lashed out at ex-counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway for acknowledging that his 2020 election loss was legitimate in her new book.

snip

“The team had failed on November 3, and they failed again afterward. By not confronting the candidate with the grim reality of his situation, that the proof had not surfaced to support the claims, they denied him the evidence he sought and the respect he was due,” she wrote. “Instead supplicant after sycophant after showman genuflected in front of the Resolute Desk and promised the president goods they could not deliver”.

Ms Conway also wrote that she “may have been the first person” among Mr Trump’s confidantes “who told him that he had come up short this time”.

“Kellyanne Conway never told me that she thought we lost the election. If she had I wouldn’t have dealt with her any longer - she would have been wrong - could go back to her crazy husband,” he wrote, referring to George Conway, the conservative attorney and Trump critic to whom she is still married.

Mr Trump then repeated his oft-told lie that the 2020 election was “rigged” and claimed Democrats “used Covid to cheat and steal”, citing “massive and indisputable” evidence put forth in a recent film by convicted felon and right-wing propagandist Dinesh D’Souza.

There are probably more but these traitors come to mind.

Remember, Conway is being quoted from her book. She wasn’t under oath or anything.

She might not have been that public at the time but she was working overtime behind the scenes probably with her best friend and husband Clarence.

I have to ask: Why can't our media put sentences like this together?

Mr Trump then repeated his oft-told lie that the 2020 election was “rigged” and claimed Democrats “used Covid to cheat and steal”, citing “massive and indisputable” evidence put forth in a recent film by convicted felon and right-wing propagandist Dinesh D’Souza.

If they had all that evidence of election rigging and ballot harvesting then they could have presented it
in court but they didn't or it was slapped down. I think in all of his legal filings after the election Trump
was something like 1 and 63 and that 1 case was over ruled. All of Trump's real lawyers (Porter Wright)
quit because they would have to suborn perjury which would cost them their licenses.

* Mr D’Souza’s film, 2000 Mules, claims bulk mobile phone location data shows “mules” engaging in illegal
ballot harvesting in swing states, but multiple legitimate news organisations have debunked the claims.

talk about lies openly, they use softer words, to make it seem like they are just 'massaging' the truth.

That's what I like about it, they point out who D'Sousa is state baldly that he and Orange are liars.

I believe Trump will be declared legally insane by his family before this is all over. It's the only legal defense left open to him.

Being so touchy about his short fingers and mushroom dick, Trump would have fired her just for telling him he "came up short."
