Kellyanne Conway Shrugs Off Husband’s Anti-Whitaker Op-Ed: ‘Spouses Disagree Every Day’

Kellyanne Conway brushed off questions on her husband’s recent New York Times op-ed declaring Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker‘s appointment unconstitutional, making light of the editorial that underscored the couple’s political differences.

“Spouses disagree every day,” she told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos of her difference with George Conway during an interview Sunday, adding that President Donald Trump was assured by his lawyers that the appointment was legal.

“I offer my advice and opinion to the president in private. I don’t need to put [it] on the op-ed pages,” Conway, who is a counselor to Trump, added.

Defending herself further, Conway seemed fed up with attention to her relationship with George.

“I don’t think it’s nice and I think people questioning publicly aspects of our marriage and the rest of our life is very inappropriate because I stay out of other people’s lives,” she said.

In his column last Thursday, George, who works as a lawyer, argued “Mr. Trump’s installation of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general of the United States after forcing the resignation of Jeff Sessions is unconstitutional. It’s illegal. And it means that anything Mr. Whitaker does, or tries to do, in that position is invalid.”
