White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband, attorney George Conway, got torched on Twitter yesterday for spreading false rumors about Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY) and smearing her online. He called her “lying trash,” and then promoted a doctored image of Stefanik flipping off a camera during the House Intelligence Committee hearing of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
Conway was unrepentant about it too. He claims to be a conservative but is a Never-Trumper who hates President Trump and consistently acts more like a died-in-the-wool Democrat than anything approaching Republican. He repeatedly targeted Stefanik online after Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) tried to yield his time to her during the hearing and Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) refused to allow her to speak. Schiff acted hostile toward her which made Schiff look like the petulant fascist that he actually is.
From The Daily Wire:
“Conway, who was not in any way involved with the hearing, responded to Stefanik’s stunt by promoting the Democrat who is challenging her in her district, and by repeatedly attacking Stefanik on Twitter.
“In the tweet that got the most traction online, Conway wrote, “@EliseStefanik is lying trash. Please give to her opponent, @TedraCobb.”
“Conway then promoted what appeared to be doctored images of Stefanik flipping off cameras during yesterday’s hearing.
“In one tweet, Conway wrote: “This woman doesn’t deserve to hold public office. Please retweet this and give what you can to her opponent, @TedraCobb.”
“In another tweet, Conway responded to Fox News political commentator Brit Hume by tweeting out a picture of Stefanik, writing: “Hey Brit, here’s what the woman I denounced was doing while Ambassador Yovanovich was getting a standing ovation. Kind of seems trashy to me, but perhaps you have different standards. By the way, has anyone made the case that she didn’t lie yesterday about her ridiculous stunt?”
The photoshopped picture that the Leftist Twitter mob led by George Conway is circulating is FAKE – I’ve been so busy exposing Adam Schiff’s #regimeofsecrecy that I haven’t had time for a manicure in weeks! 💅 Proof from yesterday 👇 https://t.co/TSnTu4bFtX

“Stefanik responded to Conway, writing: “And for you @gtconway3d – the one thing I’ve NEVER been called in my life is TRASH. You need serious help. My opponent Taxin’ Tedra can have your sick mysogynist support.”
“Stefanik also posted a photograph from yesterday showing that the image that Conway promoted of her could not have been real because she did not have nail polish on.
“Stefanik tweeted: “The photoshopped picture that the Leftist Twitter mob led by George Conway is circulating is FAKE – I’ve been so busy exposing Adam Schiff’s #regimeofsecrecy that I haven’t had time for a manicure in weeks! Proof from yesterday”
“Conway faced substantial backlash online over his conduct and later deleted the tweets where he promoted the doctored images.
“Julie Gunlock, Director of Independent Women’s Forum (IWF), tweeted: “If you had any doubt that this guy is an abusive creep, here’s more evidence.”

“Hume tweeted: “It is apparently not enough for this man, supposedly a respected lawyer, to dispute Stefanik’s claim of unfair treatment. No, he must denounce her as ‘trash.’ What does that say about him?”
“Political strategist Chris Barron tweeted: “Honest question, what is the matter with you? Are you this desperate for attention or are you in need of medication? This isn’t normal behavior.”
“Dennis Kneale tweeted: “You just called a Congresswoman “lying trash,” a phrase loaded with trailer-park meaning. Gee, @gtconway3d, why not just come right out and call her a whore? You better hope her husband misses this & doesn’t pay you a visit. You are the #WorldsWorstHusband @KellyannePolls”
“NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck tweeted: “The self-righteous folks that offer lectures ad nauseam about decency on CNN and MSNBC probably think it’s okay to say this about a sitting Congresswoman because she’s not pro-impeachment”’

George Conway is simply a vile little man who is an embarrassment not only to his wife but the Republican Party as well.
As RedState pointed out: “Conway is either ignorant or lying about Stefanik. Republicans didn’t say she wasn’t allowed to talk at all, they said she was shut down, improperly by Schiff, when Nunes tried to yield her the balance of his time, a normal practice of the House. But Schiff claimed this violated the October 31 resolution that allowed him dictatorial powers of the proceeding and was itself outside the norms of practice.”
Schiff hates Stefanik because she stood up to him during the first impeachment hearing and literally cleaned his clock. This was a juvenile, peevish move by Schiff and totally expected. What wasn’t expected was that George Conway would take an obviously doctored photo and smear Stefanik with it. Even after it was revealed that it was Photoshopped, he still justified it and ran with it. What a troll.
Honest question, what is the matter with you? Are you this desperate for attention or are you in need of medication? This isn’t normal behavior. https://t.co/PT7pLNxiCG

Instead of calling him out for labeling a woman “trash,” people on the left endorsed his actions, even starting a hashtag against her, calling her “trashy.” So much for the #MeToo movement. It seems only to apply to liberals. That’s called hypocrisy.
I really don’t need to defend Stefanik much… she’s a tigress and can hold her own. She fired back at Conway and shut him down nicely. Conway fears Stefanik because she is presidential material. She hit a nerve during the impeachment proceedings and will keep doing so.
You just called a Congresswoman “lying trash,” a phrase loaded with trailer-park meaning. Gee, @gtconway3d, why not just come right out and call her a whore? You better hope her husband misses this & doesn’t pay you a visit. You are the #WorldsWorstHusband @KellyannePolls https://t.co/RucUzr1B6F

Any moron could tell the photo was not real. Stefanik was not wearing nail polish that day and she would never do something like that. It takes a liberal to be that crass.
Nikki Haley nailed it: “Liberals are pro women until we say or think something they don’t like then the name calling begins. @RepStefanik, keep up the great fight. We have your back.” Yes, we do.

I’ll close with a perfect quote from Twitchy:
“Can you guys imagine the FIT the Left would have thrown if a Republican man talked to a Democratic woman like this? Buildings on fire, protests in the street … IT WOULD BE ANARCHY. The media would spend days covering how Trump has influenced the Republican Party to be even more sexist and they’d prattle on and on about how the woman ‘persisted’ in the face of evil or something.
“But since Elise is a Republicans she has it comin’.
“They’re so damn predictable.”
.@EliseStefanik is lying trash. Please give to her opponent, @TedraCobb. https://t.co/NDstzv2Qgr

Once again, Adam Schiff flat out REFUSES to let duly elected Members of Congress ask questions to the witness, simply because we are Republicans. His behavior is unacceptable and he continues to abuse his Chairmanship. Watch 📺👇 pic.twitter.com/qm9Uj8tiHO

Nonsense. You went to Harvard. You can read. You knew full well that the operative resolution (H.Res. 660) only allowed questioning by the ranking Republican or Republican counsel at that point, and that you’d get your turn later. You pulled a stunt to gaslight the public. https://t.co/a9TwNvoYZC pic.twitter.com/2tfRkVjj4B

George Conway also retweeted a post that referred to Elise Stefanik as “an asshole.” He’ll be back on TV and given any print platform when impeachment proceedings continue last week, almost guaranteed: https://t.co/TzAEXo5c7b
