Kellyanne Conway's Husband Lowers the Boom on Trump After Shutdown Presser: 'Art of the Fool'

by Matt Naham | 6:16 pm, January 25th, 2019

While White House counselor Kellyanne Conway still has to go to work and defend President Donald Trump, her outspoken attorney husband George holds no such allegiances. He made that clear once more on Friday with an insult.

In response to President Trump’s Friday afternoon announcement that the partial government shutdown would come to a temporary 21-day end without border wall money, Conway offered a blistering remark.

“Art of the Fool,” he said. He didn’t stop there.

The government shutdown had reached the 35-day mark on Friday.

The president said at the White House Rose Garden that Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to “end the shutdown and reopen the federal government. Trump said the deal would keep the government open for three weeks until Feb. 15.”

Conway was quoting a tweet that said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “exposed” the president as “pitifully weak.”

“In the showdown with Nancy Pelosi, Trump’s been exposed as pitifully weak, all bluster, a pathetic negotiator. Pelosi rolled him in every way. Egged on by right wingers, the whole thing was buffoonish from start to finish. *This* is how Trump’s Art of the Deal works in real life,” said Peter Wehner, a senior fellow at the Ethics & Public Policy Center, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. that “deal[s] openly and explicitly with religious and moral issues in addressing contemporary issues.”
