A new excerpt from former White House communications staffer Cliff Sims' new memoir emerged in Vanity Fair, and this one focused on a very special member of President Trump's Team of Vipers: Kellyanne Conway. Sims doesn't appear to be a fan:
As I watched Kellyanne in operation over our time in the White House, my view of her sharpened. It became hard to look long at her without getting the sense that she was a cartoon villain brought to life. Her agenda — which was her survival over all others, including the president — became more and more transparent. [Cliff Sims, via Vanity Fair]
In the White House, "Kellyanne managed to land a job with no fixed responsibilities" and a huge office, where she could "just dabble in areas that piqued her interest," Sims writes. And one of those interests was leaking, a fact he learned firsthand while drafting a response on her MacBook to Morning Joe calling her out for being two-faced about Trump:
Kellyanne was sitting at her desk texting away. And since her iMessage account was tied to both her phone and her laptop, which she must not have even considered, I could inadvertently see every conversation she was having. Over the course of 20 minutes or so, she was having simultaneous conversations with no fewer than a half-dozen reporters, most of them from outlets the White House frequently trashed for publishing "fake news." [Sims, Vanity Fair]
Conway "bashed" Kushner, Steve Bannon, and Reince Priebus by name and also recounted private conversations with Trump, "talking about him like a child she had to set straight," Sims said. "I was sitting there, watching this, totally bewildered. I was supposed to be writing a statement, defending her against accusations that she had done almost exactly what I was watching her do that very moment."

I have always preferred Serpent Head"...
Even better!
She can’t be all bad if she trashed Kushner and Preibus.
Yep.
Hahahahahaha...good thought...especially Preibus!
The rich and powerful always attract dubious characters who facilitate their fantasies of being important by being close to the thone. The Trump Presidency has not been well served.
I have always suspected her sincerity. They are the Matlin -Carville duo 2.0
////////////////////////////////////////
Carville is one of the most nauseating and loathsome creeps in political advisor history.
Kellyanne’s monster husband is gaining on him.
Why does the male side of the duo win? I’m not abandoning my pro male stance about feminism, but why do the jerky men win? Why couldn’t Kellyanne have been good isn’t of bad? Remember Queen Hillary taught us that suburban women stupidly let their husbands lead them to vote GOP? Implying no minds of their own.
WTF are so many of you believing some blather from a disgruntled former staffer nobody, excerpted in Vanity Fair? Believe what you want, but it reads like he’s making it up as he’s typing it.
Why does her husband trash Trump in the media?
typo
good instead of bad
Kelli Anne needs a divorce from that idiot of a husband
Yeah; she can’t be trusted. She’s just playing a role for the job. In real life I have no doubt she’s just like her communist husband. She probably helps him come up with some of his material and she may speak through him since she can’t say what she wants due to the job.
I hope she is terminated for his second term.
“Agree - attempts by the enemy to sow division.”
Agreed, this is all that it is. Amazing how many on this forum fall right into the trap.
//////////////////////////////////////////
I nearly always fall into every trap set and publicized on FR. Otherwise what challenges would keep me sharp if I didn’t have to fight off opponents on this forum.
Actually you and other skeptics about the story must be correct. Anything allowed in leftist rags has to be deliberately there to further the anti-Trump agenda.
However, after Preibus, Cohen,Omarosa and so many others were not loyal in the end, whom does Trump have around him except his daughter (not his son-in-law) to trust and confide in?
I’ve never trusted her.
Don’t know if this article is accurate.
But I have never trusted her.
WHAT is wrong with these people?
Do allegiance, trust, honor have NO meaning?
Is that a trick question? Her husband doesn't like Trump. That's pretty obvious.
Between Kelly and the guy I never heard of, who writes a book to attack her, I’m going with Kelly. I’ve watched her a long time. She is solid.
She is “communications”. She leaks what the president wants leaked. And she is one of his most articulate defenders, consistently. She keeps her cool under fire.
Amazing to watch so many jump on the “hate Conway” wagon from reading a hit piece using as a source a person that admittedly doesn’t like her.
