The husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway slammed President Trump’s tweets about the travel ban proposal, just days after taking himself out of the running for a Department of Justice job.
George Conway had a very different response from his wife when he slammed Trump’s tweets on his travel ban.
“These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won’t help OSG get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad,” Conway responded to Trump. Multiple reporters confirmed with Conway via email that the account is his legitimate account.

Trump earlier had tweeted: “The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.”
Conway later doubled down on his statement, but added that he still supports Trump.

Conway withdrew his name last week from consideration for heading the Justice of Department’s civil division.
Earlier Monday, Kellyanne Conway, a top adviser to Trump, chided the media for covering “everything” the president tweets.
“This obsession with covering everything he says on Twitter and very little of what of he does as president,” Conway complained during an interview with “The Today Show.”
George Conway said he was “profoundly grateful to the president and to the attorney general for selecting me to serve in the Department of Justice. I have reluctantly concluded, however, that, for me and my family, this is not the right time for me to leave the public sector and take on a new role in the federal government.”
