NEW: Appearing on Fox News, Kellyanne was asked if she agreed with her husband’s view that the president is a racist. “I totally disagree. But I work with this president. I know him. I know heart. I know his actions'
George Conway, the conservative lawyer and husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, says that despite his pointed criticisms of President Trump, he had refrained from believing Trump was a racist. But Trump’s attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color left him “no doubt”: The president is a “racist.”
“No matter how much I found him ultimately unfit, I still gave him the benefit of the doubt about being a racist,” Conway writes. “But Sunday left no doubt. Naivete, resentment and outright racism, roiled in a toxic mix, have given us a racist president.” On Monday, Trump tried to defend his attack while simultaneously escalating the feud at a Made in America product showcase at the White House. Trump contended that if the congresswomen have “a problem with our country, if somebody doesn’t want to be in our country, they should leave.”
When asked if he was concerned his comments were being used as validation by white nationalists, the president said he was not.The congresswomen subsequently held a press conference on Capitol Hill in which they hit back at Trump and called for his impeachment. Conway also called for Trump’s impeachment following special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation
