George Conway Torches Trump in Rare Public Remarks: U.S. Nearing a ‘Banana Republic’ Under This President

CNN aired video from a speech from George Conway, the fierce anti-Trump critic and who is husband to presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway, where he railed against the president at Georgetown Law.

“The president suggested that members of his own Justice Department should be locked up for investigating the president,” he said. “Now, if people were to get indicted or not indicted on the basis of whether the president likes them, we wouldn’t have a republic, we would have a banana republic.”

“Now, that’s just a little sampling of what Conway said today. We know he has been a fierce critic of the president on Twitter, and the president has hit back, calling him Mr. Kellyanne Conway, referring to the fact that Mr. Conway’s wife, Kellyanne, works as a senior adviser to the president in this White House,” CNN justice reporter Laura Jarrett explained.

“But Conway went on to say that he kind of likes the fact that you can tweet at rich public officials without fear of retribution in the courts. So this war continues between the two of them,” she added.
