Their daughter is not "losing it publicly", she's forcing their hand and appears to be the most rational actor in this family. The public sniping from Dad had to stop, and the enabling of a sociopathic Authoritarian by Mom had to stop. She escalated until they backed down.

Trump destroys everything he touches, and he destroyed the Conway family. That little bit of humanity left in Kellyanne finally got a word in edgewise.

I hope Mom and Dad pull it together. Or get divorced.

Claudia Conway won this one.
