BREAKING: George Conway to leave the LINCOLN PROJECT as Kellyanne leaves the White House

Washington (CNN)White House counselor Kellyanne Conway announced Sunday evening she will leave her post at the end of the month and George Conway said he was withdrawing from The Lincoln Project, both citing a need to focus on their family.

"I will be transitioning from the White House at the end of this month. George is also making changes," Kellyanne Conway said of her husband and frequent Trump critic George Conway in a statement.

"We disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids. Our four children are teens and 'tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months. As millions of parents nationwide know, kids 'doing school from home' requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times."

More proof that trump destroys everything he touches.
I see a possible divorce in the future.

A chance for Kellyanne to leave the administration and try to get sympathy for herself instead of being seen as the joke she was in the Trump admin.

That's the last time the daughter embarrasses them by exposing the fact they're dysfunctional parents.

They played both sides for as long as possible, now it is time to pull the rip cord and disengage, so as to preserve future opportunities.

What an incredible coincidence that they've got a family crisis at this moment!!!!!

Honestly, as big of a baby trump is, I can’t believe she kept her job this long. I can’t believe he didn’t give her an ultimatum to shut her husband up.

He probably would have if the roles were reversed and George worked for fuckface.
