It’s Friday morning and Kellyanne Conway‘s husband is going rogue yet again.
George Conway is back on Twitter and mocking President Trump‘s firestorm from the increasingly probably government shutdown, the withdrawal from Syria, and the resignation of James Mattis. He started things off by reminding his Twitter following that Trump promised to accept responsibility for a shutdown if the government fails to pass a spending bill by the end of the day.
And Sen. Schumer will no longer be trying to suppress his laughter at Trump. https://t.co/bcFTr4QRt8

He eventually focused on Mattis’s resignation, not only because of the Defense Secretary’s disagreements with the president, but also the concerns over the fact that Mattis was one of the most stabilizing elements of the Trump presidency.
Here’s what he tweeted and retweeted on the matter:
Who’s going to step up? https://t.co/XuXkpkFPmR

“The Mattis critique is foundational: The president he serves, he suggests in his letter, does not understand the value of allies, or the immorality of disparaging and abandoning them.” (via @TheAtlantic):https://t.co/YVZshVkEhq

Really? Cite another SecDef who resigned over policy. I’ll wait. https://t.co/KXOwItPdIt

Mattis was livid over Syria withdrawal, potential Afghanistan withdrawal & being kept out of decisions by John Bolton. He saw POTUS overruling him on joint chiefs of staff chair as humiliation. He disliked Trump’s friendliness w/Putin, among other things. https://t.co/t4hqFtRYPz

Finally, Conway took note of how Vladimir Putin is delighted by Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria.
Translation: You go ahead and leave; we’ll stay. https://t.co/bj8uVHEUuY
