Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Mocks Trump over His Travel Ban Tweets

HeadlineJun 06, 2017

George Conway, the husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, took to Twitter to mock President Trump Monday over Trump’s furious tweeting about his proposed Muslim travel ban. Early Monday morning, Trump criticized his own Justice Department, writing, “The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.”—referring to the Supreme Court. In response, Conway wrote, “These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won’t help OSG get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad.” OSG refers to the Office of the Solicitor General, which is arguing in favor of Trump’s travel ban in front of the Supreme Court. The tweets come after Conway withdrew his name from consideration for top positions within Trump’s White House, including the post to head the Justice Department’s Civil Division.
