Key White House adviser Kellyanne Conway quits to 'focus on her family' after months of drama from h

EXUSE THE SOURCE BUT MORE INFO


Kellyanne Conway has announced that she is to leave the White House at the end of this month, a day after her 15-year-old daughter Claudia said she was 'officially pushing for emancipation' from her parents in a series of tweets.

The 53-year-old counselor to the president said she was leaving for the sake of her family, to be 'less drama, more mama'.

Yet shortly after the announcement, Claudia Conway was once again on TikTik - stating that her parents were going to get divorced but have now called it off 'to keep her from getting emancipated'.

Performance artist recognizing the gig is ending. Time to bail, and blame it on the 15 year old kid.
"Spend time with the family" is always a suspicious reason for stepping aside, when the job only pays $180k.
If it paid $18 million per, for 3.5 years, ok. Person has made multigenerational money.
But at this level of fiscal success, nobody walks away unless they know the gig is over, anyway.

George might be able to keep it, but I doubt Mom could without huge support.

All, because she supports an idiot?

7. I've seen Claudia's TikTok posts. She's a very angry smart kid with lots of Mom issues.

Maybe Pompeo? I don’t remember if he was there at the beginning. And of course Pence and the family members.

And it's interesting how seldom Kellyanne is mentioned in the well known books about the Trump Disaster Administration, like Woodward's book, and Very Stable Genius, Fire and Fury (although she is discussed in this book), The Apprentice, Bolton, etc...
