‘What Are You, Oprah Now?’: Kellyanne Conway Nukes Chris Wallace In New Book
Kellyanne Conway took aim at former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace in her new book and she did not mince her words.
In a published excerpt from “Here’s The Deal,” Conway — who served as Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and a senior adviser in the White House — slammed Wallace for attempting to bully her.
Conway spoke about an interview she had on Fox News, where Wallace brought up her husband, George Conway. Wallace asked Conway about George being a noted Never-Trumper who often tweeted insults about Donald Trump while she was working in the White House.
“This especially newsy weekend also included a surge in border crossings and Trump’s announcement that he was challenging Obamacare through the courts,” Conway wrote in her book.
“I addressed all of that in response to Wallace’s questions. I held forth with facts and figures about the southern border and the state of healthcare and insurance coverage. Wallace, a ratings-hungry anchor, had a full plate of breaking news in front of him,” Conway continued. “But he still found time to fit the other Conway into my segment.”
“He introduced a new spin on the matter, echoing a theory from New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who had told me at the British ambassador’s residence one night that she had declined an assignment from Vanity Fair to write a piece about George and me,” the former Trump aide continued.
“As if he were covering the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 or the building of the border wall in 2019, Wallace asked me a question about my husband: ‘Do you think he’s cyberbullying here to try to get you to quit?’” she wrote. “Do you think he’s jealous of your high profile?’”
“I had sadly and privately concluded that yes and possible were the answers to those questions, even though I was not going to be real-time and real-life bullied into discussing all this on national television,” she continued. “Rather, I quickly shut down the line of inquiry. My children did not need their parents attacking each other publicly.”
“I was speaking as a mother, not just as a senior counselor or a spouse,” she added. “But Wallace, the hard-news guy, was unmoved. He persisted and went for the clickbait.”
“I guess the question I have to ask, bottom line, final question: Has this hurt your marriage?” she wrote, quoting Wallace.
“Oh, Chris, what are you, Oprah now? I mean, what am I — on a couch and you are a psychiatrist?” she responded.
In her book, Conway actually unleashes on her husband for his antics and claimed it was a violation of their wedding vows.
Conway, the first woman to run a winning presidential campaign, explains how it became increasingly difficult to deal with her husband’s disdain for her boss, writing that he was “cheating by tweeting.”
Though she was a faithful surrogate for Trump, George Conway became a relentless “never-Trump” critic to the point that it weighed heavily on their marriage.
