President Donald Trump’s former top adviser Kellyanne Conway has settled a score with Jared Kushner by accusing him of misreading the Constitution in her new memoir.
Conway, who was counselor to President Trump, takes a swipe at Kushner and sets the record straight about her husband George in a memoir out tomorrow called “Here’s the Deal.”
“There was no subject he considered beyond his expertise,” she said of Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law.
“Criminal justice reform. Middle East peace. The southern and northern borders. Veterans and opioids. Big Tech and small business.
“If Martian attacks had come across the radar, he would have happily added them to his ever-bulging portfolio.
“He’d have made sure you knew he’d exiled the Martians to Uranus and insisted he did not care who got credit for it.
“He misread the Constitution in one crucial respect, thinking that all power not given to the federal government was reserved to him.”
She said of her husband George Conway, who was and is one of Trump’s most vocal critics:
“I had two men in my life. One was my husband. One was my boss, who happened to be president of the United States.
“One of those men was defending me,” she said.
“And it wasn’t George Conway. It was Donald Trump.
“Like everything George did during this time.
“I found out about it after it happened or as it was happening.
“It was sneaky, almost sinister.
“Why not own it, share it, sneer in my face with a copy of tomorrow’s Washington Post op-ed or next week’s Lincoln Project ad?
“’What are you doing, George?’ I asked him plainly and calmly.
“I got the same answer every time… ‘You work for a madman,’ George would say in a loud, sinister voice…
“Night after night, I would come home from a busy day at work …
“While I was minding dishes, dogs, laundry, managing adolescent dramas and traumas, George would be just steps away from me, tucked away in his home office, plotting against my boss and me.”
She said Trump told her:
“Write a great book, honey. You made history. You were the first woman to manage a winning presidential campaign. You did a fantastic job. You should talk about it.”
She responded that she wished he was still president, to which Trump replied:
“We’ll be back, honey. We’ll all be back.”
