George Conway, a frequent critic of President Trump and the husband of Trump’s counselor Kellyanne Conway, took to Twitter to rant about the president Sunday.
In a lengthy tweet thread, Conway said that special counsel Robert Mueller’s 22-month investigation into Russia was legitimate and went on to criticize the president for “personality disorders” that he claims make Trump minimize the gravity of the investigation’s findings.
“Think of it. The Russia investigation was a legitimate investigation, with a legitimate basis, into how a hostile foreign power tried to interfere with and undermine our democracy,” Conway said.
“But because you are a malignant narcissist — a person with both narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders — you couldn’t view it that way,” he said. “Instead of complying with your oath of office, and instead of taking stock of what was in the best interests of the nation whose Constitution and laws you swore to uphold, you viewed the matter purely in terms of your own ego: You viewed the investigation as casting doubt on what you perceive as your great election victory.”
Conway, who is a lawyer, also went on to accuse the president of obstructing justice during the course of Mueller’s investigation.
“You took multiple steps to obstruct, and repeatedly lied about, the investigation from the outset. Even today, despite the well-founded assessments of the intelligence community, and despite the damning evidence laid out in the Mueller report, you refuse to take what the Russians did seriously,” Conway said.
This is not the first time Conway has railed against Trump. The two have both attacked each other over Twitter recently, with Trump calling him a “stone cold loser and husband from hell.” Kellyanne Conway defended Trump’s comments about her husband, saying that the president should be able to defend himself from the barbs.
“He left it alone for months out of respect for me,” Kellyanne Conway told Politico in March. “But you think he shouldn’t respond when somebody, a non-medical professional, accuses him of having a mental disorder? You think he should just take that sitting down?”
