George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, said his wife has received more pushback from him for her work in the Trump administration than from hecklers who have targeted Trump officials.
“She has been getting a harder time from me about working for this administration than [she does] walking down the street,” George Conway, who often criticizes the president on Twitter, told the Washington Post.
That’s not to say Kellyanne Conway hasn’t been heckled. She sometimes gives a fiery response back.
When she overheard a man say at a Baltimore Orioles game that she was famous “for all the wrong reasons,” Conway confronted him. “I’m fluent in ignoramus,” she said, according to the Washington Post. “What did you say?” She then took a photo of him and said she would be adding it to her “collection of underachieving men.”
In a separate incident, a man told her while grocery shopping that she should be ashamed of herself.
“Go look in the mirror!” he told her.
“Mirrors are in aisle 9 — I’ll go get one now,” Conway told the newspaper of her response.
Several administration officials, including White House press secretary and former EPA chief Scott Pruitt, have been confronted in public in recent weeks. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., drew criticism on both sides of the aisle last month for calling for the harassment of Trump officials when they are spotted in public.
