As part of a profile on their relationship in the Washington Post’s style section, Kellyanne Conway has spoken out for the first time against her husband George's tweets criticizing President Donald Trump. “It is disrespectful, it’s a violation of basic decency, certainly, if not marital vows,” the White House counselor told Style reporter Ben Terris, before adding that she wanted those quotes attributed to “a person familiar with their relationship.” When Terris told her he could not put her comments “off the record” after the fact, Conway ultimately added, “Fine. I’ve never actually said what I think about it and I won’t say what I think about it, which tells you what I think about it.” Earlier this year, Conway lashed out at CNN’s Dana Bash for asking about her husband’s Twitter account. “It’s fascinating to me that CNN would go there. But it’s very good for the whole world to just witness that it’s now fair game how people’s spouses and significant others may differ with them,” Conway said at the time, accusing the anchor of trying to “harass and embarrass” her with the question.
