Kellyanne Conway Out: Ship Abandons Sinking Rat Comments (0)

Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump's longest-serving advisors, is leaving her White House post by the end of August, she has announced.

Referencing her children — her 15-year-old anti-Trump daughter Claudia had just announced she is seeking emancipation from her parents — Conway cited a need for “less drama, more mama,” and insisted her resignation is “my choice and my voice.”

Seems as if Claudia is not impressed that her parents are quitting their jobs, however.

Regardless of the fact that Kellyanne has a demonstrable need to spend more time with her family, which is usually a lie told by people resigning in disgrace, I still think it's pretty obvious Conway wouldn't be leaving the Trump Administration 70 days out from re-election if she felt re-election were likely.

Noteworthy: Her conservative, anti-Trump hubby George Conway is also taking a leave, in his case from the wildly influential Project Lincoln, which has been dogging Trump in order to help depose him, all based on Republican, not Trumpublican, values.

Full statement:

The past four years have allowed me blessings beyond compare as a part of history on Election Night 2016 and as Senior Counselor to the President. It's been heady. It's been humbling.

I am deeply grateful to the President for this honor, and to the First Lady, the Vice President and Mrs. Pence, my colleagues in the White House and the Administration, and the countless people who supported me and my work. As many convention speakers will demonstrate this week, President Trump's leadership has had a measurable positive impact on the peace and prosperity of the nation, and on millions of Americans who feel forgotten no more.

The incredible men, women and children we've met along the way have reaffirmed my later-in-life experience that public service can be meaningful and consequential. For all of its political differences and cultural cleavages, this is a beautiful country filled with amazing people. The promise of America belongs to us all.

I will be transitioning from the White House at the end of this month. George is also making changes. We disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids. Our four children are teens and 'tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months. As millions of parents nationwide know, kids “doing school from home” requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times.

This is completely my choice and my voice. In time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama.
