Kellyanne Conway reflects on leaving White House, husband's attacks on Trump: 'I don't let anyone define me'
Fox News ^ | 8/26/20 | Yael Halon

"What I would say is, I don't let anybody define me and nobody can make you feel badly without your permission," said Conway, who added that "I think that American couples can disagree and all of that, but I preferred to remain much more private about that and try to use my social media platform to not attack people."

Conway, long a fixture in the Trump White House, announced she was leaving her position on Sunday, citing her devotion to her children and her renewed focus on providing "less drama, more mama.”

"What I'm doing is what millions and millions of parents across the country are doing, which is trying to navigate this new not-so-normal where the kids are learning from home, and I want to be there for them," Conway explained.

"I know this sounds very simple but the truth is I love my job," Conway told MacCallum. "I thought it was a blessing, not a burden, to work through this great nation and this great country.

"You don't come here for the money. What I make here in a year I used to make in a few speeches ..." she went on. "You come here for the love of country, to think you can be one molecule that's a positive force for change."

The couple's 15-year-old daughter, Claudia, has also been critical of Trump on social media, despite her mother's best efforts to "keep our lives very private."

"I never had a Facebook account or Instagram accounts," Kellyanne said. "I don't post pictures of my kids every day. I want them to think I'm a good mom, I don't need the whole world to think I am because I'm posting pictures."

As for what comes next, Conway vowed, "I'm not leaving the arena forever."

It’s hard to take these political couples seriously when one is an outspoken left winger, the other a right winger.

Is it fake, all about money? Who knows...

This guy has connections. That said, this story sounds about right

https://blindgossip.com/hubby-wanted-wife-to-get-fired/

[Blind Gossip] There is a lot going on with this family that is in the news!

The Wife is not an actress, but you have seen her on TV a lot over the past three or four years.

She is so high-profile that even Saturday Night Live has done sketches about her!

She works for a famous political figure… that her husband hates.

Hubby has been extremely unhappy and extremely vocal about her job and mocks her boss every chance he gets.

As you can imagine, this has created a very uncomfortable dynamic at work and at home.

Why would a husband try to sabotage his wife’s career?

She wouldn’t quit so he wanted her to get fired! He thinks he is smarter than she is and could bully her into doing what he wanted.

It was the most high-profile job she’s ever had, though, so she was determined to keep it.

Is Husband this way about other things?

LOL. Oh, yes. He is pretty much an immature ass about everything. He’s a screamer and a bully. He doesn’t care how it impacts her or the kids. He just wants what he wants when he wants it.

Speaking of the kids, how did the division between the couple play out at home?

Her goal was to be civil and to keep the family together until all the kids were off to college but it’s hard to do because they absolutely hate each other at this point. They have separate bedrooms. He mocks her in front of the kids, which is awful. The kids know their parents hate each other and they are miserable.

Is that why their child is acting out?

Yes. [Daughter] hates them both right now, but they created this situation, him by being an ass and a bully and her by trying to smile and grit her teeth and just get through it so the family could stay together.

Now that Wife is leaving her job, will that make everything better?

No. He thinks he’s won, but he hasn’t. He f*cked up her job, their kids, and the marriage. Seriously, this is all on him.

Is the marriage over?

Yes, but she is going to be very careful with the priorities and the timing. She has to take care of the kids first. Then she can deal with the marriage. She won’t do both at the same time.

The ideal timing would be for her to file for divorce would be in the commotion right after the election. Nobody will be paying attention to her.

I wish she had not provided the quote, “Less drama, more mama.”
It implies the other side won, i.e., her nasty husband and crazy daughter.

Is he a left winger, I don’t know. But he is supposed to be very conservative and voted for Trump in 2016. In 2017 George Conway is praising and saying he supports Trump. It wasn’t until he lost a job opp, that he voiced anything negative until 2018. So it is not like she just married a left winger years ago and is she is stupid. That’s not the case at all.

Any possibility this whole Conway family soap opera - including the daughter’s social media whining - is a publicity stunt to promote the Conway parents as a dueling pro- con cable show? Kind of like conservative James Kilpatrick and that liberal lady (Shana something) way back in the day?

Remember James Carville and Mary Matlin? I never could figure them out either. I know one thing, I could never marry a liberal woman and if that learned behavior changed over the years I would be gone in a second.

I've seen that situation before unfortunately. Gritting your way through to save the marriage seems like the right and Christian thing to do. But it often will be internalized very negatively by a daughter who is watching. (He's being mean, why isn't Mom sticking up for me? Is a wife supposed to just sit back and take this kind of stuff from her husband? etc.)

That was exactly another couple that came to mind.

All this strikes me as Lawyers. They’ll argue for any side, just give em money. Disgusting.

You’d know if you had a teenage daughter in the past 2 decades.

Yes but even Carville never treated Mary Matlin like this in public. Conway is one of the lowest, most vile and disgusting human beings to walk the planet.

The daughter truly looks emotionally unstable. It’s no act.
