Democrats are trying to cancel or at the very least spoil President Donald Trump's upcoming campaign event at Madison Square Garden in New York City, further evidencing their desperation in the final weeks before the election and their hostility toward American freedoms. New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, for instance, demanded last week that the arena dishonor its contract and cancel the Oct. 27 event, which he equated to a Nazi rally. Hoylman-Sigal failed in depriving his fellow New Yorkers of an opportunity to engage in the democratic process and hear live from their candidate; however, Lincoln Project co-founder George...

Conservative lawyer George Conway said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump is in his “final implosion” like Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in his bunker at the end of World War II. While discussing Trump’s social media posts, Conway said, “As I’ve been yammering about for five or six years now, he’s a deeply unwell man. He is a deeply psychologically disturbed individual. If he were a member of your family, you’d be taking him, you’d be staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital. If Melania and Ivanka and Eric and Don Jr. care...

George Conway, one of former President Trump’s most vocal GOP critics, is giving liberals a piece of advice: “Laugh at him,” and call him crazy. Conway joined comedian and senior “Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng Thursday to discuss Trump’s recent guilty verdict in his hush money trial and the upcoming election. He argued that mainstream media and the country have “not had a full national conversation” about Trump’s psychological condition. Conway said according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or the DSM-5, he thinks Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder and is a sociopath.

Conservative attorney George Conway suggested Thursday that the cross-examination of adult film actor Stormy Daniels by former President Trump’s legal team in his hush money trial this week was a “complete disaster.” “My takeaway was that the continued cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was a complete disaster and fiasco for the defense,” Conway said during a panel appearance on CNN, adding, “It just went on and on, and … they didn’t have anything on her.” Conway, who is going through a divorce with former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, has been a staunch critic of the former president. Still, he praised Trump’s...

Conservative lawyer George Conway said former Trump aide Hope Hicks’ testimony at former President Trump’s hush money trial “absolutely” corroborates his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen’s story about Trump in the case. “She put in Donald Trump’s mouth, the fact that he understood that those payments were made on his behalf before the election by Michael Cohen,” Conway said on CNN’s “The Situation Room” with host Wolf Blitzer, while speaking about Trump. “And that’s just… that’s devastating testimony. It absolutely corroborates Michael Cohen’s story, which has been corroborated in numerous respects, and it shows that he knew that when he was signing...

A new article out from Politico reveals that a select group of lawyers and legal pundits have been working behind the scenes to quash a Trump second term using the media. They've been sharing narratives, honing points, and working together to "intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system." The names of those who have been at these meetings are all too familiar and their tactics mirror those undertaken in 2020 to manipulate media to sway the presidential election in Biden's favor. A group began meeting weekly in 2022, every Friday, on Zoom calls...

Conservative legal commentator George Conway suggested President Biden “just has to be normal,” and authentic in his State of the Union address Thursday if he wants to consolidate his base. Asked how Biden can make a “positive case” to voters for the next four years, Conway told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the president has “to be empathetic, he’s got to be himself.” “I think at the end of the day, he doesn’t have to do a hard sell,” he added. “He does have to get out there; he just has to be normal.” Conway, a staunch critic of former President...

Conservative attorney George Conway railed against former President Trump, calling him an “evil man,” after a jury ruled Trump must pay columnist E. Jean Carroll for defaming her by repeatedly denying her sexual assault allegations. “He’s somebody who can’t control himself,” Conway told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Friday, echoing rhetoric from the judge presiding over the case. “And, he can’t control himself because he’s a deeply disturbed, a morally bereft human being who has no conscience, has no morality, has no empathy, has no remorse and is sadistic as we saw during the trial.”

Attorney George Conway said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that he believed supporters of former President Donald Trump were part of a “narcissistic” cult that had gone beyond reason and facts. Anchor Joy Reid said, “You know, Donald Trump is not a politician. He’s just a stand-in for people who are mad at the world. And he somehow managed to convince them that his personal legal peril. He stole those classified documents. He sexually abused E. Jean Carroll, he is the one who lied about the election and got people to commit crimes because they’re stupid enough to do it....

Conservative attorney George Conway on Wednesday suggested former President Trump won’t be successful if he appeals the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying him from appearing on the state’s ballot. “He lost, it’s over,” Conway, a prominent Trump critic, said during a panel on CNN, adding later, “He’s done in Colorado courts. He’s got no further avenue to review for those state law issues that the dissents raised.”

When I review divided appellate-court decisions, I almost always read the dissenting opinions first. The habit formed back when I was a young law student and lawyer—and Federalist Society member—in the late 1980s, when I would pore (and, I confess, usually coo) over Justice Antonin Scalia’s latest dissents. I came to adopt the practice not just for newsworthy rulings that I disagreed with, but for decisions I agreed with, including even obscure cases in the areas of business law I practiced. Dissents are generally shorter, and almost always more fun to read, than majority opinions; judges usually feel freer to...

Vocal Trump critic George Conway said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that former President Donald Trump endorsed and encouraged violence with his “apocalyptic rhetoric.” Discussing an armed Utah man accused of making violent threats against President Joe Biden being killed by FBI agents this morning, host Joy Reid said, “This guy was 75 in Utah.”

George Conway said Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that it iujpossible Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff during the Capitol riot, has been cooperating with the federal investigation into Trump. Cooper said, “CNN’s reporting also that the Trump team has not identified anyone else who received a target letter, according to sources. I’m wondering what you read into that. Does it mean that other Trump associates aren’t being charged, or do you think there are other targets that haven’t been revealed yet? It also raises questions about if there is somebody who is cooperating? Is a...

George Conway, an attorney and prominent conservative critic of former President Trump, said Monday that the former president’s comments on a newly released audio tape discussing holding onto classified documents are “stunning,” calling him a “sociopathic criminal.” Descriptions of the recording had been included in the 37-count federal indictment alleging Trump’s handling of sensitive material violated the Espionage Act and obstructed justice with his handling of sensitive material after leaving the White House, but the audio was not publicly available until CNN aired it Monday. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that progressive activist Cornel West’s third-party presidential bid could decide the 2024 election. Conway said, “Even if you don’t become president, you as a third party candidate spoiler can decide who is the president. This happened in 1992 when we had Bush 41 as the incumbent and a guy named Bill Clinton the Arkansas governor got elected with 43 1/2% of the vote. Why? because Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote even though he did not rack up any electoral votes.”

George Conway, an attorney and prominent critic of former President Trump. said early Tuesday that it would be “kind of fitting” for Trump to go to jail over “something so stupid and pointless” as keeping classified documents from the White House. “Of all the things that this man has done … this documents case is probably the easiest, shortest, simplest, and yet carries the most severe likely penalties of any of the cases, any of the legal issues that he’s ever faced,” Conway said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Now, people will say, you know, in a just world, he would...

Former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spent “way too much time on the culture wars.” Conway said, “President Trump is pulling away out there as full-time job campaigning for president. He has announced filed paperwork five-plus months ago. If you want to win, you have to play. So many others are supposedly running. Ron DeSantis has a huge war chest. He has done a great job as governor of Florida. He has lots of time to have a splashy announcement, hired consultants, maybe right people, maybe not. But he’s...

Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that millions of Americas “pretend” former President Donald Trump was a “sane human being.” Co-host Joe Scarborough said, “George, members of our former party going out, continue to go crow about how this is a weak charge, this is miscarriage of justice, this is the politicization, the weaponization of government, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Again, they don’t know. None of us know the extent of this, and it’s just so reckless. It may end up. Maybe it ended up being exactly what we originally thought this was...
