George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, gave a rare interview Thursday during which he called President Donald Trump’s tweets “corrosive” and replied “no comment” when asked if he feels that the President is stable.
“The tweets, like the witch hunt tweets, like this morning’s tweets, they’re corrosive,” Conway said on the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.” “And even if they don’t actually have a legal effect and they’re not executed with a order of any sort, they have a corrosive effect, I think, over the medium-to-long term in the perceptions of the public on…how the system operates.”
He also said that while he considered Trump the “lesser of two evils” when he voted for him over Hillary Clinton in 2016, he’s not so sure that’s true anymore. “If faced with the choice again, I’d probably move to Australia,” he quipped.
When the inevitable questions came about the rift between his beliefs and those of his wife, he shrugged it off.
“I don’t think she likes it,” Conway said of his wife’s reaction to his very public denunciations of the administration. “But I’ve told her, I don’t like the administration, so it’s even.”
“If I had a nickel for everybody in Washington who disagrees with their spouse on something that happens in this town, I wouldn’t be on this podcast,” he continued. “I’d be probably on a beach somewhere. And the fact of the matter is, when it comes down to things we disagree about, we agree on most policy things.”
