George Conway, Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson burn Trump and the GOP to the ground in scathing joint op-ed

AlterNet logoFour prominent conservatives, including the husband of White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway, called for the defeat of President Donald Trump.

George Conway, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson published an op-ed for the New York Times rebuking Trump as unfit to serve, and they shamed the Republican Party for replacing conservatism “with an empty faith led by a bogus prophet.”

“This president’s actions are possible only with the craven acquiescence of congressional Republicans,” the four men wrote. “They have done no less than abdicate their Article I responsibilities.”

On TV, George Conway Calls Out Trump’s ‘Delusional’ Claims

George Conway argued Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” that President Donald Trump himself is undercutting his allies’ ability to defend him in the impeachment inquiry.

A conservative lawyer and husband to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, he said Trump’s claims that his call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky — which helped launch the impeachment inquiry — was perfect are “delusional” and “debilitating.”

“It’s delusional to say that the whistleblower was wrong in any significant respect,” he continued. “It’s delusional to say that the [intelligence community inspector general] said anything that was incorrect or acted anything but responsibly. And because it’s so delusional, the Republicans can’t wage any coherent defense.”

‘Blessed Be Thy Hush Money’: George Conway Skewers Religious Leaders Praying For Trump

And “mayest all quid pro quos be thine,” scoffed Kellyanne Conway’s husband in response to a prayer circle in the White House.

A photo posted on Twitter showing a group of religious leaders with their hands on President Donald Trump as they prayed for him didn’t sit very well with conservative attorney George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.

He skewered the hypocrisy of the holy gathering for a president who routinely lies, and who has been accused of paying hush money to an adult film star and withholding military funds to pressure Ukraine’s president into launching an investigation of his political rival Joe Biden and his son.

“Blessed be thy hush money, mayest all quid pro quos be thine, and mayest thy falsehoods persuade the multitudes,” Conway scoffed on Twitter Friday.

George Conway posts epic tweetstorm obliterating Lindsey Graham’s ‘pure garbage’ defense of Trump

AlterNet logoJoining with other lawyers and prosecutors who jumped all over Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for his claim that “hearsay” evidence could not be used against Donald Trump in an impeachment trial, conservative lawyer George Conway harshly brought the Trump defender up to speed on case law.

Then he called Graham’s claim “pure garbage.”

After Graham used Twitter to attempt to dismiss a whistleblower’s complaint against the president since he didn’t hear Trump’s overture to the president of Ukraine for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden firsthand, prosecutors weighed in by invoking former President Bill Clintons’ impeachment where hearsay testimony was a central feature.

#LostTrumpHistory: Trump’s 9/11 claims become a George Conway-pushed meme

Washington Post logoAnd the tweets are so funny.

President Trump, who this month told Americans about the airports taken over in the Revolutionary War, had a new contribution to the historical record Monday at the signing of the Sept. 11 victims compensation fund extension.

“Many of those affected were firefighters, police officers and other first responders. And I was down there also, but I’m not considering myself a first responder. But I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you,” he said to a Rose Garden crowd that included 9/11 first responders.

There is no evidence that Trump went to Ground Zero after the 2001 terrorist attacks, but the president does have a long history of inserting himself into it, as The Fix’s JM Rieger details here.

‘You’re mentally unwell’: George Conway assails Trump in blistering Twitter thread

Anyone who follows George Conway on Twitter knows that the Republican attorney is among President Donald Trump’s most vehement critics on the right. While his wife, GOP activist and Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, is among the president’s staunchest defenders, GC has a totally different point of view — and in a blistering Twitter thread posted over the weekend, GC questioned Trump’s mental health and urged others to do the same.

When Trump tweeted that he had no choice but to “hit back” at the “corrupt media” and “fake news,” Conway responded, “You’re not ‘presidential’ at all, period. You’re mentally unwell. You engage in bizarre, irrational, self-defeating behavior, which prompts criticism of you, which triggers more bizarre, irrational, self-defeating behavior. You would have been fired from any other job by now.”

In his thread, the attorney also posted, “Do yourself and the country a favor. Resign and seek the psychological treatment you so obviously need.” And GC went on to point readers in the direction of some anti-Trump books, including Bandy Lee’s “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President” and Dr. Justin A. Frank’s “Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President” — both of which examine Trump’s mental state.

George Conway mocks ‘Deranged Doanld’ Trump for his ‘amazing accomplishment’ of telling the American people 10,000 lies

George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, mockingly congratulated President Donald Trump after Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler revealed that he had documented more than 10,000 false or misleading claims made by the president over the last two-and-a-half years.

“Congrats, Deranged Donald!!” Conway wrote on Twitter. “An amazing accomplishment!! No one but you could have achieved this.”

Conway then went on to document the sheer breadth and scope of lies that Trump tells.

‘A hypernarcissistic, sociopathic clown’: George Conway shows no mercy in his latest Trump takedown

In the first round of Ukraine’s presidential race, comedian Volodymyr Zelensky was leading in the exit polls on Sunday. The New York Times’ Peter Baker mentioned the Ukrainian election on Monday morning, tweeting, “Think politics is a joke where you live? In Ukraine, a comedian who plays an accidental president on television leads the first round of voting for president.” And conservative attorney George Conway responded, “That’s no biggie. Over here, we have a hypernarcissistic, sociopathic clown with nuclear weapons.”

The “clown” Conway was obviously referring to was President Donald Trump. Like his wife, GOP strategist Kellyanne Conway, George Conway is a right-wing Republican. But while KC has been one of Trump’s staunchest allies, GC has been highly critical of the president.

GC’s anti-Trump tweet has been receiving both positive and negative responses. Twitter user @RonDufresne posted, “There are still tens of millions of Americans who think Trump is a savvy, successful businessman because he pretended to be one on a fake ‘reality’ TV show,” while @On_Politike asserted, “I would take an actual comedian over Trump anytime.” Another Trump critic, @AlexDesormiers, lamented that “at least” Zelensky “played a fictional president. That’s more experience than our clown had.”

Busted: Here’s the letter proving Trump lied about turning down George Conway for a job

President Donald Trump on Wednesday attacked George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, and claimed that Conway was bitter because the president refused to employ him in his administration.

“George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife’s success and angry that I, with her help, didn’t give him the job he so desperately wanted,” the president wrote on Twitter. “I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER and husband from hell!”

However, a letter sent by Conway to Trump in May 2017 shows that Trump is lying about what really happened.

George Conway issues perfect 3-word response after Trump calls him ‘a stone cold loser’ and the ‘husband from hell’George Conway issues perfect 3-word response after Trump calls him ‘a stone cold loser’ and the ‘husband from hell’

President Donald Trump ratcheted up the emotionally unstable hate in his escalating feud with George Conway, a prominent conservative attorney who is also the spouse of Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway. And now Conway, who once successfully argued a case before the U.S. Supreme Court and won a unanimous decision, is fighting back.

In a Wednesday morning tweet Trump called George Conway “VERY jealous of his wife’s success,” “a stone cold LOSER,” and a “husband from hell!”

He also falsely denied knowing him and appeared to disparage his appearance.
