Kellyanne Conway, former senior adviser to Trump, says she has tested positive for coronavirus

Source: Washington Post

Kellyanne Conway, former senior adviser to the president, is the latest person in Trump’s circle to test positive for covid-19, she said on Friday.

Conway, who worked in the White House until last month and was one of Trump’s campaign managers in 2016, was among the more than 150 guests at Saturday’s Rose Garden event announcing the Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett. President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Sens. Mike Lee and Thom Tillis, and Notre Dame President John I. Jenkins were also at the gathering and have tested positive, though it’s not publicly known if the ceremony was a superspreader event.

@KellyannePolls
Tonight I tested positive for COVID-19. My symptoms are mild (light cough) and I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians.

As always, my heart is with everyone affected by this global pandemic.

Kellyanne is back with the kids now according to Claudia’s Tic-Toc account. She accused her mom of lying to her saying she didn’t have the virus when she did and saying now the family is sick.

When America’s Oddest Political Couple Fight, Those Sparks Are Real

By Elizabeth Williamson

Published Feb. 14, 2020 Updated Aug. 24, 2020

[snip]

Friends say the Conways are staying together for their children, although the couple is not always in the same city. Mr. Conway spent chunks of time last year in New York before leaving his firm, while Ms. Conway remained in Washington, where the Trump crowd has largely blackballed her husband.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/14/us/politics/george-and-kellyanne-conway.html


It had been hard to judge these two given the context that we have seen for decades with James Carville and his notorious wife Mary Matlin. But in the former case, they claim to literally "leave their politics at the door" when at home, where these two are truly in an ongoing, very public spat.

And speaking about him, here is what he tweeted earlier today -

It was a mistake to nominate Amy.

I am enjoying the news so much more since about 2 am this morning. Lee, the orange pile of shit, the nude model third spouse to the louse, this biotch...oh, the good news just keeps rolling in.

Now, I want to hear that Ivanka, jr, and goofy all get it as well. They have perpetuated this "big hoax" crap so that thousands died needlessly because they swallowed this dumb shit and his minions of delusional traitors right down the shit hole.

I don't want any of them die. I DO want them suffer the worst symptoms and have a lifetime of lingering symptoms for the rest of their pathetic lives. Such asshole fools.
