That escalated quickly.

Amid the public impeachment testimony of ousted Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch Friday, a Twitter showdown unfolded between Donald Trump Jr. and George Conway.

Trump Jr. fired the first shot at Conway — who has ironically gained notoriety for his vehement criticism of President Trump, despite his wife Kellyanne serving as a senior aide in the administration — in a Friday afternoon tweet responding to Conway’s take on the public testimonies of Yovanovitch, career diplomat Bill Taylor and top State Department official George Kent this week.

The spat only escalated from there with Conway hitting back at Trump Jr. by responding that he’s “not the one shilling for your criminal father.”

Conway then responded again to the same Trump Jr. tweet by arguing that he’s “not building a brand,” while also slamming the President’s son for using nepotism to his advantage.

It didn’t end there.

When Trump Jr. tweeted a link to a Breitbart article accusing Conway of “prancing around the campaign offices during the transition aimlessly hoping to get a job” in the Trump administration — a tweet that didn’t directly mention Conway’s Twitter account nor any of his tweets — Conway hit back by responding that the President’s son lies just as much as his father.

After the Twitter skirmish appeared to end, Trump Jr. continued retweeting other Trumpworld figures who attacked Conway, including Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale and adviser Katrina Pierson.
