Kellyanne Conway says husband was ‘cheating by tweeting’ against Trump – Business Insider

Conservative political consultant Kellyanne Conway and her husband, George Conway, have vastly contrasting opinions of former President Donald Trump and the differences made their way into the couple's marriage.

In her new memoir, "Here's the Deal," the former Trump advisor wrote about the strain of her husband's blatant disapproval of her boss, according to an excerpt published in People Magazine. The two have remained married despite the turmoil of their relationship andthe public attentionfrom statements their daughter, Claudia made about them on social media.

Kellyanne, 55, said in her book which is set to be released on May 24 that her husband, an attorney, spent long periods of time in New York for work while she and the kids were in DC.

"During this time, the frequency and ferocity of his tweets accelerated. Clearly, he was cheating by tweeting," she wrote. "I was having a hard time competing with his new fling."

George Conway, 58, frequently used his platform to criticize Trump, who he'd introduced to Kellyanne Conway before later disapproving of his political stances and actions.

"Don't assume that the things he says and does are part of a rational plan or strategy, because they seldom are," George Conwaytweeted once in 2019. "Consider them as a product of his pathologies, and they make perfect sense."

Trump, now banned from Twitter, responded: "George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife's success & angry that I, with her help, didn't give him the job he so desperately wanted."

Kellyanne Conway said Trump only mentioned George Conway to her a "handful" of times, three of which were in frustration.

Her memoir continued: "I had already said publicly what I'd said privately to George: that his daily deluge of insults-by-tweet against my boss or, as he put it sometimes, 'the people in the White House' violated our marriage vows to 'love, honor, and cherish each other."

George Conway had even written a 3,500-word essay countering Trump's claim that Robert S. Mueller III's Russia investigation was unconstitutional in 2018.

"On one side was my marriage and my husband. On the other was my job and my boss," Kellyanne Conway wrote. "George was mixing the two of them in a highly combustible manner. I was able to keep these things separate and in perspective. George should have, too, but it seemed the flood of reaction and attention he was receiving was magnetic and irresistible."

She added that Ivanka, Trump's daughter, had a similar issue with her husband, Jared Kushner. Ivanka recommended that the Conway couple try therapy, though Kellyanne Conway said her husband wasn't a fan of the idea. They never went.

"I feel there's a part of him that thinks I chose Donald Trump over him," Kellyanne Conway told The Washington Post. "Which is ridiculous. One is my work and one is my marriage."

The Post went on to describe their marriage as "emblematic" of the controversy around Trump especially within the Republican party.

"Whoop-de-do, George!" Kellyanne Conway wrote that she told George Conway once, according to her book. "You are one of millions of people who don't like the president. Congrats."

Neither George nor Kellyanne immediately responded to Insider's request for comment.

Elon Musk hints at voting for Donald Trump in the upcomign elections – Marca English

We are not saying Donald Trump will for sure become the Republican Party's nominee for the upcoming elections in 2024 but we are also pretty certain the former president is the party's absolute leader. Every time he gets on stage for his rallies, it's pretty evident that the American people truly love him. Elon Musk just hinted that he will definitely vote for Trump if he gets elected by the party to run for the next presidency.

If you take a look at his demeanor and his ideas, there is no doubt that Elon Musk is a liberal at heart. But over the last five years, the Democratic Party has suffered a massive shift that Elon Musk absolutely loaths. He's repeatedly said that extremists have hijacked the Democratic Party and he might be on to something.

Musk recently stated the intentions he has for the upcoming elections, he seems like he made up his mind less than two years before the next election. This is what he said via Twitter and the 'All-In Podcast': "In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.

"Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold. Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months. I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically. Like I'm not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. Now this election I will."

The Democratic Party must be doing something terribly wrong if the man who is trying to transform earth into a self-sustainable planet doesn't like their policies. Losing support from a person as influential as Elon Musk is definitely a major blow to all their aspirations.

Even though Elon has repeatedly stated he doesn't agree with most of Donald Trump's ideas, he is willing to vote for him over any Democrat. Let that sink in. The Republican Party also has a little time to see if they can squeeze in a different candidate who is not Donald Trump. However, beating the former president will be almost impossible for any fellow republican.

Donald Trump ‘Back’ On Twitter With Truth Social Posts, Banned Again – NDTV

Twitter has a policy of banning any account that attempts to "circumvent a Twitter suspension"

Donald Trump launched his new social media platform Truth Social to get his voice to his supporters, ever since he was banned from Twitter. The former United States President, however, recentlystarted posting all his posts from Truth Social onto Twitter through a username @PresTrumpTS . But this did not last long, and the account has now been banned from the micro-blogging website.

Prior to being banned the description of the account read President Donald J. Trump's Truth Social Posts on Twitter Making sure President Trump is heard on Twitter while he and Devin Nunes focus on Truth Social.

According to Huffpost, before the account was banned on Tuesday, there were 210 tweets available, copy-pasted by Mr Trump from Truth Social with a suffix Please Follow & Retweet.

The account had been active since April, according to a report inHuffpost, and was trying to subvert Mr Trump's lifetime ban from Twitter. His ban was declared in 2021 after the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters. The platform's management had declared that the former President's tweets had incited the violence.

Twitter has a policy of banning any account that attempts to circumvent a Twitter suspension, enforcement action, or anti-spam challenge. This includes any behaviour intended to evade any Twitter remediation, such as creating a new account or repurposing an already-existing account.

It also adds that a banned user can't circumvent a Twitter suspension by operating, or having someone else operate on your behalf, an account which represents your identity, persona, brand or business persona for a different purpose.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is the target of a bar association complaint over his role in undermining the 2020 election results – The Texas Tribune

Sign up for The Brief, our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

A group of lawyers want the State Bar of Texas to investigate Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz for his leading role in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

Lawyers with the 65 Project, an organization aiming to hold attorneys accountable for trying to keep former President Donald Trump in power despite his reelection loss, filed an ethics complaint with the association Wednesday. It cites Cruzs role in a lawsuit seeking to void absentee ballots, numerous claims he made about voter fraud, plus an attempt to stop four states from using 2020 election results to appoint electors all of which failed.

Mr. Cruz knew that the allegations he was echoing had already been reviewed and rejected by courts. And he knew that claims of voter fraud or the election being stolen were false, the complaint says.

Trump has falsely insisted he won the 2020 election even after multiple failed legal attempts to challenge the election results and his own attorney generals assurance that the election was accurate and secure. Republicans in Texas and throughout the country have echoed Trumps baseless claims and some have played roles in attempting to prevent or delay President Joe Biden from being officially certified as the winner.

Cruz represented Pennsylvania Republicans in their efforts to cast out nearly all 2020 absentee ballots in their state, which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected. Cruz accused the state court of being a partisan, Democratic court that has issued multiple decisions that were just on their face contrary to law.

The complaint wants to see Cruz disciplined. It does not say how, though it mentions a New York appellate courts suspension of Rudy Giulianis law license. Guiliani was one of Trumps lawyers who also repeated false voter fraud claims.

Cruz also agreed to represent Trump in a Texas lawsuit aiming to bar Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin from using its election results. The complaint argues Cruz pushed forward with a frivolous claim, which the U.S. Supreme Court quickly denied.

The 65 Project is a far-left dark money smear machine run by a whos who of shameless Democrat hacks, a Cruz spokesperson said in an email. Theyre not a credible organization and their complaint wont be worth the paper its printed on.

The complaint against Cruz comes just weeks after the State Bar of Texas moved to sue Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for professional misconduct in his lawsuit challenging the 2020 presidential election, which included his decision to file the federal lawsuit hoping to overturn election results in battleground states where Trump lost.

Disclosure: State Bar of Texas has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors. Financial supporters play no role in the Tribune's journalism. Find a complete list of them here.

Guess whos coming to dinner? Trump. Again. Heres what hes up to in Texas – The Dallas Morning News

Riding a winning streak in Republican primaries across the country, Donald Trump is in Dallas on Monday for the first of two May visits to Texas.

The former president is headlining a private fundraiser to help congressional candidates. The program at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel is dubbed Countdown to the Majority by the partys House campaign arm.

As of Sunday there were no public events in Dallas on his schedule. On May 14, Trump will stage a public rally in Austin, one of the bluest areas in Texas.

While Trump likes Texas and has enjoyed significant support in Texas, his visits here have multiple purposes.

Always mindful of his brand, Trump wants to make sure that his strong record of backing winning candidates continues in Texas. In the March primaries the 33 candidates he backed in state and local races either won or advanced to runoffs, though many of those candidates, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, were heavily favored to win.

In the May 24 runoffs, Trump-backed Republicans include Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is fighting for his partys nomination against Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush.

Paxton is seeking a third term as attorney general as he fights a 2015 indictment for securities fraud and is the focus of an FBI investigation of public corruption allegations from within his office.

In previous generations those legal problems would have made a reelection campaign untenable. But in Republican politics this is the era of Trump, and many GOP voters are uninterested or skeptical when their leaders are accused of wrongdoing.

Paxton has the added bonus of Trumps support. And he seemingly earned it by his unabashed loyalty to the former president, which included filing an ill-fated lawsuit asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in several battleground states. The Texas Bar Association plans to sue Paxton for filing that lawsuit.

Bush made a play for Trumps endorsement, but it went to Paxton. Expect Trump to promote Paxton during his Texas visit, since an upset by Bush would chip at the former presidents winning record in picking candidates.

Trump doesnt have a perfect endorsement record in Texas. Last year he endorsed Republican Susan Wright to replace her late husband, Ron Wright in Congress. Jake Ellzey, at the time a freshman state legislator, beat Wright and Trump to win the congressional seat.

Since then Trump has rebounded. Hes currently on a 55-0 primary winning streak that included recent victories in Indiana and Ohio.

Along with Paxton, Trump is active in some North Texas races, including the Tarrant County runoff for district attorney, where he endorsed former criminal court Judge Phil Sorrells over former state Rep. Matt Krause, whos backed by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. Trump is also backing former McKinney council member Frederick Frazier over Republican Paul Chabot in a Collin County Texas House race.

Trumps interest in Texas politics raises the question of his own political ambition. Is he happy with being the leading voice in the Republican Party, but not sitting in the White House? Will he make another run for president in 2024?

If he does run for president, hell need Texas, a state that has pumped money in his campaign funds like no other.

Trumps last visit to Dallas included appearances at a First Baptist Dallas service the Sunday before Christmas, and at American Airlines Center that afternoon. He hinted at a 2024 comeback bid, declaring that with so many dark clouds hanging over the United States our country needs a savior right now.

Texas is still important to President Trump, said Plano businessman Wayne Richard, a longtime Trump supporter. Hes keeping his face in front of Texans for strategic reasons.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson suggests that there should be another NFL team in Dallas.

We are about to pass the Chicago metro and become the #3 metro in the US, which would make us the largest US metro WITHOUT 2 teams, Johnson said in a tweet replying to a NFL on CBS tweet asking which city deserves a new NFL team. Football is king here. Dallas needs an expansion team and we would be able to sustain 2 @NFL teams better than LA or NY.

I like it. Johnson points out that the Dallas metro area will soon surpass the Chicagoland area in population, making it the largest in the nation without at least two NFL teams. Good luck getting Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to agree.

Johnson knows an AFC team would help provide needed vitality to an area in Dallas, perhaps Fair Park/South Dallas.

The booming population here should have Dallas leaders thinking outside the box about landing new pro sports franchises.

In 2007 Dallas mayoral candidate Sam Coats, now the interim president and CEO of VisitDallas, told me that Dallas should be pushing for a National League baseball team. That also was a solid idea.

Imagine a cross-county baseball series between the Texas Rangers and a rival in Dallas.
