Kellyanne Conway Takes Heat For Basically Just Promoting Herself Through Debate

Here’s an interesting tweet that appeared on the Twitter account of Donald Trump‘s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway:

She retweeted a reference to his claim that “we have some bad hombres” in the United States, which has been trending on Twitter ever since he said it during a discussion on immigration. She added a little arrow to highlight what she perceived as a compliment.

If it strikes you as a little weird that she’s engaging in self-promotion while her boss is on stage trying to win the presidency, you’re not alone.

Is she even still working for him at this point? https://t.co/wQGjK2x7p3

It’s almost as if Kellyanne has become more interested in post-election career opportunities than getting her boss elected. #debatenight https://t.co/9S3DPm6Dom

Okay, what do you think? Was she signaling that she is gunning for a new job come November 9?
