Kellyanne Conway Accused of Posting Topless Photo of Her 16-Year-Old Daughter on Twitter

Kellyanne Conway, ex-counselor to disgraced former President Trump, allegedly posted a topless picture of her daughter Claudia, 16, on Twitter on Monday.
Reached for comment, a Twitter rep told Variety the company’s teams are investigating the incident. Kellyanne Conway could not be reached for comment.
According to screen captures posted by users on social media, Kellyanne Conway’s account (@KellyannePolls) shared an image of her topless teenage daughter using Twitter’s recently launched Fleets feature, which deletes posts after a 24-hour period (similar to Instagram and Snapchat’s stories). The Fleet was removed but not before Twitter users documented it.


It's like QAnon was an astroturf set up by some rich GOP grifters and Dalton school alums.

Amy Chua calls this promoting your daughter as a future Kavanaugh clerk.

Christ. There was a story today regarding an interview on Fox News about how reporters are purposely not giving Biden tough questions (unlike Trump, of course).

Look, people, Trump never got actual "tough" questions but to a dumbass like Trump who complains about "tough questions" and saying he doesn't get questions like "What is your favorite milkshake" to which he cannot formulate a response, then every question is a fucking tough question.

Doesn’t for fox still pretend to be news? Don’t they have reporters in the room who could ask those “tough questions?”

I think the person they were talking to from like fourth watch or something feels he's the only one asking tough questions. Biden could just do what Trump did and ignore reporters he doesn't like.

I’m no expert in law, but I’m fairly certain his use of the seal is in violation of this https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/713

It specifically says any likeness, so even if they cropped out the text around it, it still looks like the seal. And he’s made the document look as if it is an official government use of the seal. Pretty sure he’s going to get into trouble for it, or at least told not to use it.

Trump also started out having an adversarial relationship with the press. When all his press conferences involve attacking or trying to silence journalists is there any surprise that they'd push back?

Not that they were especially hard on him, anyway. He was for the most part treated with kid gloves and given the benefit of the doubt way more than he deserved. For the most part he wound up communicating via Twitter, since he could do that without anyone questioning him.

I think you guys are way overthinking this. I mean, as a former President, I'm sure he's entitled to continue using the seal.

The symbol appears on the website for the Office of Barack & Michelle Obama.

The symbol appears on the website for the Office of George W. Bush.

The symbol doesn't appear on the website for the Clinton Foundation, but it does appear on William Jefferson Clinton's post-Presidency letterhead.

Frankly, all ex-Presidents engage in some level of grift. Usually it's quite harmless, only taking money from the rich. Yes, Trump is likely going to squeeze that teat for every last drop. But let's engage in a little bit of objectivity here.

There are far, far, far worse crimes that Trump has to answer for and we shouldn't lose sight of those with this distraction.

Kinda old, but new to me... Rosanne calls Trump the first woman president.

Pretty much this. The only odd thing about this is the official name which is...pretty fuckin pathetic. But hey, I guess he had to use some of those hundreds of millions he grifted from Republican donors to "fight the steal" to give jobs to a bunch of the ex-WH staffers who are sufficiently loyal and were unable to find jobs anywhere else.

@Breccia - another accomplishment to add to the list

U.S. Suffers Sharpest Rise in Poverty Rate in More Than 50 Years

Economists Bruce Meyer, from the University of Chicago, and James Sullivan of the University of Notre Dame found that the poverty rate increased by 2.4 percentage points during the latter half of 2020 as the U.S. continued to suffer the economic impacts from Covid-19.

That percentage-point rise is nearly double the largest annual increase in poverty since the 1960s. This means an additional 8 million people nationwide are now considered poor. Moreover, the poverty rate for Black Americans is estimated to have jumped by 5.4 percentage points, or by 2.4 million individuals.

We've seen bits of that off and on, that and the wealth gap. Not even 100% COVID, either, Trump killed jobs and trade.

Weird the timestamp is blacked out.

But Twitter for iPad? Wasn't he saying a few months back that he doesn't use Twitter and doesn't look at it and can't comment on Tweets because he never uses it?

Trumper Shill.

lol when people try to overthrow the govt and shut down 84 million people who voted for Biden, ya Vengeance is required.

oh soooooooooooo radical holding people accountable for their actions.
what happened to the law and order party that wanted to send hillary to jail for life because of emails???

[Kathranis]

So it really looks like they won't have the votes to convict currently, so I suppose we'll have to see if the trial itself actually sways Republicans one way or the other. Pretty unlikely, given how Senate "debates" are really just ways for them to give their little one-sided spiels.

Let them. Let the cameras in. Let investigations / testimony occur. Put cameras in there and let the American public see it first hand.

They hoped this little ploy would sway them from even holding a trial. The GOP doesn't want this splashed across the front page of America.

shut down 84 million people who voted for Biden

It's closer to 81 million, but the spirit of your post is still strong. Trump and his supporters keep saying "but but but a bunch of people voted for Trump!" without admiting more people voted for Biden.

Our Ruling

McConnell said, "This election actually was not unusually close."

By most metrics — including electoral votes, the popular vote margin, the percentage of the vote he won, and the margins in the seven closest states — Biden did put up impressive numbers compared with recent presidential winners.

The sole notable sign of a close race was that, due to the vagaries of the electoral college, only about 66,000 more votes for Trump — if they were perfectly allocated among the right states — would have flipped the election from Biden to Trump. But that dynamic has been the case in other recent presidential elections.

We rate the statement True.

Take it from the turtle himself. Biden won. Get over it.
