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.

‘A total loser!’: Trump lashes out at George Conway, who has been questioning his mental health

Kellyanne Conway dismisses her husband’s concerns that Trump’s mental health is deteriorating

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday dismissed concerns publicly voiced by her husband, lawyer George Conway, that President Trump’s mental condition is deteriorating and should be of concern to his Cabinet.

George Conway has been a persistent conservative critic of Trump’s policies and actions, frequently taking to Twitter to question whether the president is operating within the Constitution and other accepted boundaries. But Conway’s criticism recently has become more personal, as he questions the president’s mental health and psychological state.

A series of tweets Monday included images from the American Psychiatric Association’s “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.” In addition to the manual’s cover, Conway highlighted pages that include diagnostic criteria for “narcissistic personality disorder” and “antisocial personality disorder.”

Kellyanne Conway’s husband posts epic rant about Trump’s ‘pathologically mendacity’ — and suggests he’s not ‘mentally balanced’

George Conway, a prominent conservative lawyer and the husband of former Trump Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway, launched into a powerful rant against the president’s habit of pointless, absurd, and delusional lies Wednesday night.

He seemed to be inspired by the president’s false claim that the sentencing of Paul Manafort, his former campaign chair who is facing about 7.5 years in jail for crimes arising out of the Russia investigation, proved that there “no collusion.” In fact, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said at the sentencing that “collusion” hasn’t been addressed because the investigation is still ongoing. But Conway was also baffled at the president’s effort to lie about his recent slip of the tongue when he called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple.”

“Have we ever seen this degree of brazen, pathological mendacity in American public life?” Conway wrote on Twitter.  “One day he makes a harmless slip of the tongue, something any mentally balanced person would laugh off.”

It’s high time for media to enter the No Kellyanne Zone — and stay there

Lies are coming at the American public in torrents — raining down on them everywhere they turn.

A report prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee, and obtained by The Washington Post, made that breathtakingly clear over the weekend. The intentional spreading of disinformation on every platform — from Facebook all the way to PayPal — should frighten everyone who cares about democracy.

One place that truth can prevail is in the reality-based news media, where editorial judgment comes into play.

Trump’s installation of acting AG was unconstitutional, argues husband of Kellyanne Conway

A new opinion piece co-authored by George T. Conway III — husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway — argues that President Trump’s installation of Matthew G. Whitaker as acting attorney general Wednesday was unconstitutional.

“It’s illegal. And it means that anything Mr. Whitaker does, or tries to do, in that position is invalid,” George Conway wrote with his co-author in a piece published by the New York Times on Thursday, less than 24 hours after Trump ousted Jeff Sessions from the post.

George Conway’s piece was his latest in a series of public shots at the policies of his wife’s boss. Just last week, Conway, a lawyer, took aim at Trump’s pledge to end birthright citizenship in another op-ed, calling that plan unconstitutional, as well.

Kellyanne Conway got caught in a lie by Jake Tapper — then immediately told the same lie to Chuck Todd.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway continued to lie about military pay raises Sunday morning, even after she was busted for it just minutes before by CNN’s Jake Tapper.

On Sunday morning’s edition of CNN’s “State of the Union,” Conway kicked off a day of desperate damage control over this week’s revelations that senior Trump administration officials routinely disobey and ignore Trump’s orders in order to keep disaster at bay.

Kellyanne Conway is in her living room, showing me an enormous painting of Audrey Hepburn wearing a peacock on her head, but her husband, George, really wants us to come into his office and look at a photograph of the moment everything changed.

It’s a picture he took on election night 2016: Donald Trump is reaching for the first draft of his acceptance speech, just as victory seemed imminent. Back then, George was such an ardent supporter of the president, and so proud of his wife for her historic role as campaign manager, that he wept for joy.

“That photo was from before you cried,” Kellyanne says.

The bizarre tensions between White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and her husband George Conway have been evident for a while now — but the sharp division in their views of President Donald Trump have perhaps never been as evident as they are now.

In a new article for Lawfare, George Conway dismantles the argument that special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment is unconstitutional — one of Trump’s recent attacks on the Russia investigation. George Conway has been a notable critic of Trump for months, but nothing stands as quite a rebuke to a president as questioning his understanding of the Constitution, even while Kellyanne Conway remains one of Trump’s most fervent and shameless defenders.
