George Conway Reportedly Says Wife Kellyanne is in a 'Cult'

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/george-conway-reportedly-says-wife-kellyanne-is-in-a-cult/


The tension between White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and her husband — attorney George Conway — has bubbled over this week on television. Now, one new story asserts that George believes his wife, as a member of President Donald Trump’s administration, belongs to a cult.

According to Vanity Fair, Mr. Conway — according to two unnamed sources who are in contact with him — has openly expressed his view that Mrs. Conway is a full-fledged cult member.

“He tells people she’s in a cult,” one of the sources, identified as a Republican, told Vanity Fair.

“It’s not going to get better until she’s cast out of the cult,” Vanity Fair’s other source said.

Meanwhile, Trump is said to be furious at Mrs. Conway over the fact that Mr. Conway has become one of the president’s most prominent, and vocal critics.

“George gets all his power from you,” Trump said, according to the report — which cites a Republican close to the administration.

Glad to hear someone on the Right finally point that out. That is indeed what the GOP is at this point.

He was trying to ask her how she felt about George Conway being on MSNBC all day yesterday. He said "I'm not asking you about your marriage, I know there are issues."

Whoa..she pounced in a most defensive fashion. "What do you mean issues?" They went round and round after that.

It left one with the impression that all is not well at Casa Conway.

It's what she is best at. She didn't want Wolf to ask her any inconvenient questions, so she yanked the conversation into bizarro territory.

They seemed to look at their 'jobs' as just jobs and parked their political differences at the front door of their home.

willing to abase herself for the power and $, while secretly scorning Trump.

But maybe she really is in thrall to him. I just can't understand how anyone who was in contact with him could even like him.

"...Kellyanne’s frustration at being caught between the man she married and the man she works for was evident..."

if caught between George Conway and Trump... Kellyanne is beyond hope

was recruited by these people to help Trump. She was linked to them and essentially did not have a choice. It was linked to have Manafort got involved too.
