George Conway is the husband of Trump adviser and spokesperson Kellyanne Conway.
You would think that he would be supporting his wife, but that is far from the case.
Instead, George Conway uses his radio show and interview time to bash Trump and his administration, but this time he went way over the line and viciously attacked a female GOP congresswoman.
Nasty Comments
The attack against Rep. Stefanik (R-N.Y.) started when a bogus picture of her started to circulate on Twitter.
The picture showed Stefanik giving the middle finger to the camera, but the picture had clearly been photoshopped.
In that post, Conway called Stefanik “trashy.”
In his ongoing quest to blindly attack @EliseStefanik, George Conway (@gtconway3d) happily shared what appears to be a photoshopped picture of her. pic.twitter.com/CaBpF5bNqO

After Conway deleted his original tweet with the picture, he sent out a new tweet telling people to donate to her opponent, calling her “lying trash.”
.@EliseStefanik is lying trash. Please give to her opponent, @TedraCobb. https://t.co/NDstzv2Qgr

The graphic in that tweet showed Stefanik’s total talking time, but her comments about being silenced were clearly directed at Rep Schiff (D-CA) cutting her off when Rep. Nunes (R-CA) tried to hand off his opening statement time to Stefanik.
She was also referencing the many times Schiff cut off Republicans during their questioning of the witness.
Immediate Backlash
The criticism of Conway was immediate and by some rather high-profile pundits on both sides of the aisle.
The most notable of these were the comments made by Brit Hume, who usually does not engage in this type of back and forth.
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? https://t.co/RBxLfXF6wi

George Conway, who is supposed to be a conservative, has joined the liberal horde during this presidency to tear Trump down, and the reason is completely unclear.
The only motive that is remotely possible is that Conway is riding the coattails of his wife’s position to try to get his 15 minutes of fame.
