It’s no secret that George T. Conway III, the conservative attorney and husband to White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, is a critic of President Trump. Known for posting subtle digs at the administration on his Twitter feed of more than 180,000 followers, he’s broadened his audience in recent months by slamming the president in op-eds published in the New York Times and The Washington Post.
On Monday night, the president’s son snapped.
“Of all the ugliness in politics, the utter disrespect George Conway shows toward his wife, her career, place of work, and everything she has fought SO hard to achieve, might top them all,” Eric Trump wrote on Twitter.
Kellyanne Conway is a “great person,” he added, and her husband’s actions “are horrible.”
Eric Trump didn’t indicate what, if anything, had prompted him to speak out. But his comments came hours after George Conway implied that President Trump’s Monday morning tweetstorm, in which Trump appeared to be trying to discourage longtime adviser Roger Stone from testifying against him in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe, could be considered witness tampering.
