Kellyanne Conway Doesn't Exactly Give Her Marriage a Ringing Endorsement

When someone's about to get fired from the White House, the White House begins issuing pointedly non-supportive statements of support of the soon-to-be-former-staffer, which are usually just incontrovertible factual statements, such as, "[X] continues to serve the president," or "[X] maintains an office in the White House," or "The President is fully satisfied that [X] is a mammal."

See if you can spot Kellyanne Conway deploying her experience as a White House staffer to non-endorse her marriage:

New York Post: You have a chapter in the book titled "George doesn't tweet" about the first time your husband, George, took a swipe at your boss, the president of the United States, and how that moment really took you by surprise.

Conway: What was shocking about that tweet looking back it came shortly after [George] took his name out of contention for Justice, Civil Division with a statement that read: "I called the President to take my name out. I sent him full support, it's great working in the administration, and of course my wonderful wife." And five days later, he tweeted it. So it was all very confusing. That's why I said, "Well, he doesn't tweet. And he wouldn't say that." He wasn't being consistent with his own actions.

What is very galling ... I think it was like the summer of 2018 he was telling the Michael Isikoff "Skullduggery" podcast, "Oh, I knew that this administration was a s--tshow and a dumpster fire by April of that year." And I was like, "Really? Because then you came to Easter, then you came to Halloween, then you came to a very intimate dinner with the Kushners."

The Post: There are some pretty raw moments in the book when you confront George about his behavior by telling him he is the only person you made vows to.

Conway: I didn't make vows of fidelity to Donald Trump, and I don't expect George to make vows of fidelity to Donald Trump; but to "love, honor, and cherish" means exactly that. And that's where I felt like he was violating our marriage vows. I had a job he supported.

[The betrayal was him] being so public about it: "I can cash you in for attention." I like to say, I lost my husband to Twitter, and she's not even hot, has no personality. George and I ... always took our marriage vows very seriously. We are faithful in our marriage.

I think it's a 21st-century problem, in that the competition for my husband's affection and attention wasn't another woman, it was a whole platform.

The Post: Are you still together?

Conway: We're married.

She also attacked the female "Peter Pan" Taylor Lorenz for creepily sliding into the DMs of her quite-underaged daughter, which she said was ethical because they are "peers," and they are peers because they are "mutuals" -- they follow each other mutually on social media.

I think a lot of pedos are taking notes right now.

And the New York Times' editors approved the nasty exploitation of a minor to get in digs at a staffer for a president they hated.

"She's a public figure," they said -- after Taylor Lorenz made her a public figure.

Kellyanne Conway keeps giving different numbers for Taylor Lorenz's age, which is understandable, because Lorenz gives a series of perfectly random numbers for her age as well.
