On Thursday, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway came under scrutiny following a Washington Examiner article that she lost her temper at a journalist who asked about her Trump-skeptic husband and threatened to investigate the reporters family.
RNC rapid response director Steve Guest immediately came out attacking the conservative newspaper, claiming that they had had an agreement the tirade was off the record:

..................Conway, 52, was furious that her husband George Conway, 56, who has attracted considerable media coverage by publicly feuding with Trump, was mentioned in the story. She took issue with a line in the story that she had been in the middle of Trumps barbs with her husband, George, a conservative lawyer who frequently makes headlines for his criticism of the president.

She said: "So I just am wondering why in Gods earth you would need to mention anything about George Conways tweets in an article that talks about me as possibly being chief of staff. Other than it looks to me like theres no original reporting here, you just read Twitter and other peoples stuff, which I guess is why you dont pick up the phone when people call from the White House because, if its not on Twitter or its not on cable TV, its not real."
When this reporter said she had initially not taken the call because it appeared to be from Egypt and that the mention of George Conway was "relevant context," Conway asked: "Do you talk about other peoples spouses in your pieces, 'cause Ive been looking around, I havent learned a single thing from any of your pieces, and Im just wondering if you routinely talk about peoples spouses."
She said sarcastically that "you're really going places," that "nobody read your story," and wondered if this reporter had "some psychology degree."
After an offer to speak with an editor, Conway, who is notorious for berating journalists, told this reporter, 29: "Let me tell you something, from a powerful woman. Dont pull the crap where youre trying to undercut another woman based on who shes married to. He gets his power through me, if you havent noticed. Not the other way around. And if these are the quote standards unquote at the Washington Examiner, then yes Id be happy to talk to your editor. But Ive known your editor since before you were born."................................

The largest book advance of all will be for Kellyanne when she is done with Trump.
She sold herself for money and fame, first with Cruz totally against Trump, and then switched over for more money and fame when Trump looked more favorable in the campaigns.
Her loyalty is for sale.
Was/is it irony when Kellyanne prostituted herself for money for Cruz or when she prostitutes herself for money for Trump?
