George Conway Lauds Pelosi for Playing Trump 'Like a Drum'...Hours After Kellyanne's Beef With Pelosi

https://www.mediaite.com/news/george-conway-lauds-pelosi-for-playing-trump-like-a-drum-hours-after-kellyanne-conways-beef-with-speaker/


White House counselor Kellyanne Conway spent much of her day, Thursday, blasting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — saying, “she treats me like I’m her either her maid, or her driver, or her pilot, or her makeup artist and I’m not.”

Hours later, Conway’s husband, George Conway, is lauding Nancy Pelosi.

“The reason why Trump loves to talk about impeachment, and why he blathers on about it more than most Dems, including Pelosi and all his 2020 opponents combined, is that it concerns what matters to him most, more than his job, and more than the country — himself,” George Conway wrote.

Mr. Conway went on to say that Trump can’t help taking the bait by engaging on this subject because he is a “pathological narcissist.” He went on to credit Pelosi with understanding her adversary.

“She’s playing him like a drum,” he wrote.

Conway's Twitter thread starts here:






It’s simple. The reason why Trump loves to talk about impeachment, and why he blathers on about it more than most Dems, including Pelosi and all his 2020 opponents combined, is that it concerns what matters to him most, more than his job, and more than the country—himself. #NPD

Politically, of course, he’d be better off if he’d just shut up about it, just as he would have been far better off if he’d never fired Comey, never tried to obstruct Mueller, and never tweeted the words “Witch Hunt.” But he’s a pathological narcissist. He can’t help it.

Pelosi gets all this. She’s playing him like a drum.

Between George and Kellyanne?

Or is this just an act, devoid of any reality? Inquiring minds want to know.

They leave that talk among their like-minded friends and it stops at door of their home.

I can well imagine they have a similar rule in order to make it work between them.

We don't like Kellyanne at all, but speculation about their marriage is between them, IMO. I really don't care at all about their marriage.

After Trump stomped out of the non-meeting, I thought Nancy Pelosi was spot on in telling Kellyanne that she would speak directly to the President and not to "staff." The resultant snark by KC was worthy of First Daughter Ivanka, but I didn't realize she'd added to it.

Kellyanne dear, bless your little pea-brain, you are nobody special and you were not elected to this position. You work for the POTUS who hired you, and everybody gets that.

Nancy Pelosi otoh is actually next in line to be POTUS herself. Mme Speaker is the important person in this picture, and you owe her the respect due her office, not some middle-school mean girl snark like "Oooh, how pro-woman of you."
