Kellyanne Conway Drops Epic Tirade Attacking ‘Never Trump’ Republicans And ‘Out of Touch’ Democrats
Kellyanne Conway, the pro-Trump pundit and former winning 2016 campaign manager, dropped an epic tirade during the New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday and excoriated the Democratic Party and the “Never Trump” movement over their loss in the 2024 presidential election.
After a discussion about Kamala Harris being handicapped by not having to compete in the Democratic Party primary, Conway jumped in and said, “There is something else going on here.”
“At the time, there were articles where Democrats were saying, please dump Kamala Harris on the ticket, change your vice president. That’s a parlor game that’s played every time there’s an incumbent president who’s eligible to run for a second term,” she continued, adding:
But let’s all be honest. And Van Jones and I talked about this at Milken Institute in early May. Let’s be honest. Part of the reason that President Biden could not step aside is people didn’t have confidence in the competence of Kamala Harris. And then all of a sudden, we’re supposed to believe that she she has worked hard. She does speak well. The American people saw it differently. And I’m glad, I’m I’m relieved to hear that very few lessons, it sounds like, have been learned by my Democratic colleagues.
“Oh wait, I’ll get my turn. Oh wait,” Van Jones interjected.
“I hear you. But let me just say this now. I think that this election was also about moments that Donald Trump has this sense of the cultural, culture. He just glommed onto a cultural zeitgeist and leads it. So I think him, rather than banning TikTok like Joe Biden did and Kamala Harris did, by extension, he got on it and Forbes magazine wrote an article maybe two weeks ago, saying of the ten top TikToks of 2024, eight came from the Trump campaign, five in the last week alone,” Conway continued, adding:
So he’s in the garbage truck. He’s at McDonald’s. You’re watching Joe Rogan live. But then other people are watching it through TikTok. he goes to East Palestine before any before any official in the Biden-Harris administration, before the secretary of transportation, before the sitting senior senator, now the ex-senator of Ohio, Sherrod Brown.
And he is honoring the police officer who’s slain in Massapequa, in New York, on Long Island. While Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden are all at Radio City Music Hall at a fundraiser. He beats Kamala Harris to Georgia and North Carolina, where people are in pain with everything that they’ve had and loved ones have been washed away, literally. And Kamala Harris in San Francisco at a fundraiser. So people see this. They know what they see. They know what they hear.
And I think the big distinction in this last election, two I’ll say quickly, one was the Democrats would have won if they got away with convincing Americans to believe what the Democrats told them was real and true and authentic rather than what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears what was real and true and authentic. Everything from a sitting president, obvious mental and physical lack of acuity, agility, ability.
But even the vice president, whose official schedule that they stopped publishing a while ago, had little to nothing on it most weekends and then most days. So you can’t just, you can’t create a candidate out of somebody who is going to eat and own all of these things. Everything I want to say is very quickly, this is I listen for 26 minutes. Very quickly, is that putting Harris on the ticket, I think also sealed Biden’s fate and him thinking that he was FDR hanging out with Jon Meacham. And instead of realizing you’re here to be the post-COVID caretaker, you’re here after George Floyd’s murder.
The idea that he was going to governors Bernie Sanders, who had already been pushed out of the party as somebody who beat Hillary Clinton, folks, in 23 contests. That’s a real primary opponent. And this is the election where Americans are saying, ‘No more.’ You are not going to pigeonhole narrow, cast me and tell me what to think for whom to vote and how to feel based on my age, my gender, my race, my sexual orientation, my religion, my political party registration, my past voting behavior, and whether it’s Ann Seltzer’s phony poll or phony focus groups of junk saying that Kamala Harris is going to win, attacking people like Kevin McCarthy. Thank you so much for having the courage in 2022, you and President Trump to end the RNC to have run these candidates in California and New York, because without that, we would not have had the majority in the House of Representatives. You had the courage to go into blue states and go into purple districts and do that. I think they misread the mandate, Maggie, in 2022 of the midterm. A lot of those terrible candidates fell short.
They should have. They weren’t great candidates, but the Republicans won 3 million more of the popular vote than the Democrats. They misread a mandate for Joe Biden, who wasn’t even invited on the campaign trail. They send out Barack Obama, not Joe Biden to campaign for candidates. So you got it. We have two level set with the public and stop pretending that these counties didn’t flip. And last point.
“How many last points are you going to do?” Jones quipped.
“They’re all good ones. I’m not here saying they’re really great and I’m not here just spinning and pretending that this election a lot of this conversation respectfully sounds like the election didn’t happen yet. We talked about the same stuff over and over again,” Conway continued, concluding:
The fact is this instead of a year ago, I’ll say it again because it was just raised the Democratic Party right now. Every day they wake up, it’s still January 6th, 2021 in the calendar. They get an electric vehicle. They get an abortion. You’re out of touch with the public. This election was a rejection of wokeness and people. Every state went more red except Nebraska and Washington state. That is a sweep. That is a mandate.
That is President Trump coming into office and the American people saying, please make my life safer, more secure, more affordable. Please get us out of these foreign engagements. And I think the always wrong ‘Never Trumpers’ who had unlimited money, cost the party, cost the Democratic Party, which they say they’re not even a member. Another presidential election.
During the discussion, Conway sat next to “Never Trump” leader Sarah Longwell, who is a close ally of her ex-husband George Conway.
