In an interview with the New York Times, former Trump confidant and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie lashed out at unnamed people in the White House for trying to discredit Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president and Trump's former campaign manager.
"She’s gotten a bad rap at times," Christie said, "but I think that’s because of some of the really awful people inside the White House who have been trying to hurt her, as opposed to anything the press came up with on its own."
As The Hill points out, "Conway is one of the last major figures from the Trump campaign to remain in the White House after people such as [Hope] Hicks and former chief strategist Stephen Bannon departed." If she is forced out like them, Trump will have very few (if any) old-time loyalists left (who aren't family, that is).
Obviously, this would leave Trump tremendously exposed and in the hands of people who only joined his side after he had won. In other words: opportunists. That's bad enough from the perspective of his nationalist-populist base, but what makes this even worse is that those newcomers are longtime members of the establishment.
Be that as it may, perhaps Conway will not be forced out. She has enough sense to turn down requests to become Trump's communication director, at least. If she accepts that job, you simply know she'll be gone in a year. Max. You can only hope for Trump's sake that she'll continue to resist his requests. If she doesn't, he'll end up isolated and alone before the end of his first term.
She is so wonderful. They can’t touch her.
Everytime I watch her, I’m impressed. Anyone who can P@## off the LEFT as well as she does is just great by me.
I’d like to know who the “really awful people” in the White House are. They’re the ones who need to go.
I miss NJ Fat Boy already
Best governor we have ever had in decades.
I’d like to know who some of these’ awful’ people are.
Why didn’t he name names?
That’s because the gun control demagogues were never about the safety of children or the safety of anybody. Their concern is, and has always been, dissarming America so as to impose Marxist dictatorial domination over the people. What 50% of the population already knew all along.
Ooops. Wrong thread. How’d that happen
Not so! Jeff Sessions will never leave his post at DOJ! It's the best spot for naps he's found in years and years.
Boy, Ben Garrison sure is spot on, isn’t he?
Another excellent Garrison cartoon.
Sums it up, perfectly.
Creepy, that he's defending her from afar... and that he hasn't been near the White House since either Inauguration or his weekend at the beach.
lol
what a worthless pile of goop.
At least facebook’s commercial for the oscars had a vet saying “i hope they know what i fought for”
and there were actual white men in it in the flesh.
that doesn’t make Zuckerbergh Levin :), but it’s LIGHT YEARS above the horrific twtiter commercial that i did not understand one word of.
But the interpreation was “HATE MEN. ESPECIALLY HATE WHITE MEN!!” :)
Considering that this is coming from Obama Hugger Christie, I will take it with a grain of salt.
More hater propaganda. They hope that if they say a thing enough times, it will become true.
What she is, is effective. She knows what she is doing, and she did a great job with Trump. Because of that, they must destroy her -- or, at least try.
They cannot stand the 52% of women that voted for THE PRESIDENT!!
