Kellyanne Conway
Counselor to the President
Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway (née Fitzpatrick; born January 20, 1967) is an American pollster, political consultant, and pundit who serves as counselor to the president in the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. She was previously Trump's campaign manager, having been appointed in August 2016. Conway is the first woman to have run a successful U.S. presidential campaign.1 She has previously held roles as campaign manager and strategist in the Republican Party, and was formerly president and CEO of The Polling Company, Inc./WomanTrend.2
Despite living in Trump World Tower for seven years from 2001 to 2008 and having conducted private polls for Trump in late 2013 when he was considering running for Governor of New York, Conway initially endorsed Ted Cruz in the Republican presidential primaries in 2016 and chaired a pro-Cruz political action committee.3456 After Cruz withdrew from the race, Trump appointed Conway as a senior advisor and later campaign manager.78 On December 22, 2016, Trump announced that Conway would join his administration as Counselor to the President.9
Since Trump's inauguration, Conway has been embroiled in a series of controversies: using the phrase "alternative facts", making reference to a "Bowling Green massacre" that never occurred, and claiming that Michael Flynn had the full confidence of the president hours before he was dismissed. Members of Congress from both parties called for an investigation of an apparent ethics violation after she publicly endorsed commercial products associated with the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump.10
On November 29, 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that Conway would oversee White House efforts to combat the opioid overdose epidemic.1112
Early life
Kellyanne Elizabeth Fitzpatrick was born on January 20, 1967, in Atco, New Jersey, to Diane Fitzpatrick.1314 Conway's father, John Fitzpatrick, had Irish ancestry, while her mother is of Italian descent; John Fitzpatrick owned a small trucking company, and Diane worked at a bank. Conway was abandoned by her father, and her parents divorced when she was three.1516 She was raised by her mother, grandmother and two unmarried aunts in the Atco section of Waterford Township, New Jersey, and graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1985, where she sang in the choir, played field hockey, worked on floats for parades, and was a cheerleader.17 A 1992 New Jersey Organized Crime Commission report identified Conway's grandfather, Jimmy "The Brute" DiNatale, as a mob associate of the Philadelphia crime family; DiNatale did not reside with Conway's grandmother, Conway, and the rest of her family.18 Conway's cousin, Mark DeMarco, has stated that while in high school, Conway ordered members of the football team to stop bullying him; according to DeMarco, the bullying stopped.19 Her family is Roman Catholic.202122
Conway credits her experience working for eight summers on a blueberry farm in Hammonton, New Jersey, for teaching her a strong work ethic. "The faster you went, the more money you'd make," she said. At age 16, she won the New Jersey Blueberry Princess pageant. At age 20, she won the World Champion Blueberry Packing competition: "Everything I learned about life and business started on that farm."23
Conway graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Trinity College, Washington, D.C. (now Trinity Washington University), where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.24 She earned a Juris Doctor with honors from the George Washington University Law School in 1992.25 After graduation, she served as a judicial clerk for Judge Richard A. Levie of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.2627
Career
Conway entered the polling business when she was in law school, working as a research assistant for Wirthlin Group, a Republican polling firm.28 After graduating, she initially decided to work for a law firm, but chose to work for Luntz Research Companies instead.29 While a student at Trinity College, she had met and become friends with Frank Luntz, the founder, on a year abroad at Oxford University.30 In 1995, she founded her own firm, the Polling Company. Conway's company has consulted on consumer trends, often trends regarding women. Conway's clients have included Vaseline, American Express and Hasbro.31
In the 1990s, Conway, along with other young conservative women Laura Ingraham, Barbara Olson and Ann Coulter,32 helped turn punditry into "stylish stardom" in both Washington and cable television3334 and credited with setting forth Washington DC's "sexual awakening."35 In another review of the era in the capital, Conway (then known as Fitzpatrick) put it that her "broad mind and small waist have not switched places".36 Conway, Ingraham and Coulter, sometimes termed among others "pundettes",37 also all appeared on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect over the period.38
Among the political figures Conway worked for were Congressman Jack Kemp; Senator Fred Thompson;39Requires better source. former Vice President Dan Quayle;40 Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; and Congressman (now Vice President) Mike Pence.41 She worked as the senior advisor to Gingrich during his unsuccessful 2012 United States presidential election campaign.42 Another client in 2012 was U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin.43
In addition to her political opinion research work, Conway has directed demographic and attitudinal survey projects for trade associations and private companies, including American Express, ABC News, Major League Baseball, and Ladies Home Journal.44 Her firm The Polling Company also includes WomanTrend, a research and consulting division.45
Conway has appeared as a commentator on polling and the political scene, having appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, NY1, and the Fox News Channel, in addition to various radio programs. She received the Washington Post
Conway has been both criticized as a spin doctor of high prominence, particularly in her role as cable TV spokesperson for the Trump Administration,47 and lauded as "Trump whisperer."48 As part of their long-running feud with Donald Trump,49 the MSNBC show Morning Joe publicly "banned" Conway in February 2017.50
2016 presidential election
Ted Cruz support and endorsement
Despite being acquainted with Donald Trump for years, stemming from the fact that she lived in Trump World Tower from 2001 to 2008 and sat on the condo board,51 Conway initially endorsed Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and chaired a pro-Cruz political action committee known as Keep the Promise I, which was almost entirely funded by businessman Robert Mercer.5253 Conway's organization criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as "extreme" and "not a conservative".5455 On January 25, 2016, Conway criticized Trump as "a man who seems to be offending his way to the nomination."56 On January 26, Conway criticized Trump's use of eminent domain, saying "Donald Trump has literally bulldozed over the little guy to get his way."57
In mid-June 2016, following Cruz's suspension of his campaign, Conway left the organization.58
Trump campaign
On July 1, 2016, Trump announced that he had hired Conway for a senior advisory position on his presidential campaign.59 Conway was expected to advise Trump on how to better appeal to female voters.60 On August 19, following the resignation of Paul Manafort, Trump named Conway the campaign's third campaign manager.6162 She served in this capacity for 10 weeks, through the November 8 general election, and was the first woman to successfully run an American presidential campaign,63 and the first woman to run a Republican general election presidential campaign.64 Since October 2016, Conway has been satirized on Saturday Night Live, in which she is portrayed by Kate McKinnon.656667 In a January 2017 interview, Conway acknowledged the SNL parody by noting that, "Kate McKinnon clearly sees the road to the future runs through me and not Hillary."6869
Presidential transition
Main article: Presidential transition of Donald Trump
On November 10, 2016, Conway tweeted publicly that Trump had offered her a White House job.70 "I can have any job I want", she said on November 28.71 On November 24, Conway tweeted that she was "Receiving deluge of social media & private comms re: Romney. Some Trump loyalists warn against Romney as sec of state" with a link to an article on Trump loyalists' discontent for the 2012 nominee. Conway told CNN she was only tweeting what she has shared with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence in private.72
On November 28, two top sources at the Trump transition team told media outlets that Trump "was furious" at Conway for media comments she made on Trump administration cabinet appointments.73 The following day, however, Trump released a written statement stating that the campaign sources were wrong and that he had expressed disappointment at her critical comments on Romney.74 CNBC reported on November 28 that senior officials in the Trump transition "have reportedly been growing frustrated by Conway's failure to become a team player."75
On December 1, Conway appeared with senior aides of the Trump campaign, at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, for a forum on the 2016 presidential race; the quadrennial post-presidential election forum has been held at the School of Government since 1972. Sitting across from Conway were senior Clinton campaign aides, including Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook. As tempers began to flare, the forum escalated into a "shouting match"; during one exchange, Clinton senior strategist Joel Benenson said "The fact of the matter is that more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than for Donald Trump." Conway replied to Benenson while looking at the Trump aides: "Hey, guys, we won. You don't have to respond. He was the better candidate. That's why he won."76
In early December, Conway claimed that Hillary Clinton supporters were making death threats against her.77 Consequently, Trump assigned Secret Service to protect her.787980 Conway gave up her Secret Service protection in September 2017 due to "reduction in threats."81828384
Controversies
Inauguration fight
According to eyewitnesses, Conway allegedly punched a tuxedo-clad man at an exclusive inauguration ball just hours after Donald Trump was sworn in as President.8586 In an attempt to break up a scuffle, Conway stepped between two men, but they would not break up the fight, and Conway apparently punched one of them in the face with closed fists at least three times.8788
It was not immediately clear what triggered the fistfight and a Trump spokeswoman did not return a request for comment.89
Alternative facts
Main article: Alternative facts
During a Meet the Press interview two days after Trump's presidential inauguration, Conway used the phrase "alternative facts" to defend statements made by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer regarding the inauguration's crowd size.909192 Conway's phrase reminded liberal-leaning commentators of "Newspeak", an obfuscatory language style that is a key element of the society portrayed in George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.93 Soon after Conway's interview, sales of the book had increased by 9,500%, which The New York Times and others attributed to Conway's use of the phrase, making it the number-one bestseller on Amazon.com.94
A week later, the conservative daily magazine American Thinker argued that the "tidal wave of derision hoisted upon President Trump's senior adviser" had been rather shocking to observe because the derision had been "so spectacularly off base". The magazine asserted that the phrase "alternative facts" was in common use in law and that it was known to most lawyers, including Conway, with her George Washington University Law School degree, adding that, "it seems eminently possible that Ms. Conway knew exactly what it was she was saying." After giving examples of legal95 and non-legal uses of the phrase "alternative facts", the article contended that when Chuck Todd upbraided Kellyanne Conway with the claim that "alternative facts are not facts; they're falsehoods", he was not only wrong, but "propagating an ignorance born out of lazy and shallow thinking".96
The Guardian noted that "[a] search of several online legal dictionaries, however, did not yield any results for the term."97
Bowling Green massacre
Main article: Bowling Green massacre
On February 2, 2017, Conway appeared in a television news show interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. In order to justify President Trump's immigration ban, she referenced an event allegedly perpetrated by Iraqi terrorists she termed the "Bowling Green massacre". Such an event never took place.9899 Vox suggested Conway was referring to the 2011 arrest of two Iraqi refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky.100 Conway stated the next day that she meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists", both of whom had pleaded guilty to carrying out and supporting attacks on American soldiers in Iraq.101 There was never any suggestion that they had planned to carry out attacks in the United States.102
On February 5, 2017, New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen argued that, given repeated misstatements of fact, Conway should cease being booked as a guest on television news shows. CNN opted not to book Conway as a guest that day because of what the network said were "serious questions about her credibility."103104
Ethics violation allegations and investigation
On February 9, 2017, during an appearance on Fox & Friends, Conway discussed department store Nordstrom's decision to drop products supplied by Ivanka Trump's business. "Go buy Ivanka's stuff is what I would tell you", said Conway; she elaborated "It's a wonderful line. I own some of it. I'm going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online".105106 Within hours, two organizations filed formal ethics complaints against Conway for violating federal law prohibiting use of a federal position "for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise".107 Public Citizen asked the Office of Governmental Ethics (OGE) to investigate, saying that Conway's remarks reflected "an on-going careless regard of the conflicts of interest laws and regulations of some members of the Trump family and Trump Administration". The group's president, Robert Weissman, declared, "Since she said it was an advertisement, that both eliminates any question about whether outsiders are unfairly reading into what's being said, and two, it makes clear that wasn't an inadvertent remark".108 Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a similar complaint with the OGE and with the White House Counsel's Office;109 the group's executive director, Noah Bookbinder, stated "This seems to us to be about as clear-cut a violation as you can find".110
Harvard constitutional law Professor Laurence Tribe told The New York Times that "You couldn't think of a clearer example of violating the ban of using your government position as kind of a walking billboard for products or services offered by a private individual," adding "She is attempting quite crudely to enrich Ivanka and therefore the president's family."111 Chris Lu, deputy secretary of labor in the Obama administration, complained to Jason Chaffetz, chair of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, that Conway had violated federal ethics laws,112 also saying on Twitter that, under Obama, "If we did what @KellyannePolls did, we would've been fired".113 Rep. Elijah Cummings also wrote to Chaffetz "to refer Conway for discipline".114 Richard Painter, chief ethics attorney for George W. Bush, declined to say whether he thought Conway's statements broke the law, but that such actions would not have been tolerated in the Bush administration. "The events of the past week demonstrate that there is no intent on the part of the president, his family or the White House staff to make meaningful distinctions between his official capacity as president and the Trump family business".115
At the regularly scheduled afternoon press briefing, Sean Spicer told reporters that "Kellyanne has been counseled, and that's all we are going to go with ... She's been counseled on the subject, and that's it."116 In a direct rebuke to Spicer, Conway tweeted that Trump "likes 'counselor' more than 'counseled.'"117118
Conway's comments drew bipartisan Congressional condemnation. Chaffetz, a Republican, called them "clearly over the line" and "unacceptable". Cummings, a Democrat and the committee's ranking member, called them "jaw-dropping",119 Both Chaffetz and Cummings wrote the United States Office of Government Ethics on February 9, 2017, requesting that Conway's behavior be investigated and that the office recommend "suggested disciplinary action, if warranted".120
On November 24, 2017, Walter Shaub, the former director of the OGE, said that he filed an ethics complaint against Conway.121 He argued that Conway violated the Hatch Act of 1939 when she criticized Doug Jones, a candidate in the 2017 U.S. Senate special election in Alabama.122 On March 6, 2018, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel issued its final report, determining that Conway violated the Hatch Act in two television interviews in November and December 2017.123124
Ban from Morning Joe
On February 15, 2017, one national news show, Morning Joe on MSNBC, banned her from future appearances. "We know for a fact that she tries to book herself on this show. I won't do it. Because I don't believe in fake news, or information that is not true... every time I've ever seen her on television, something's askew, off or incorrect", the show's co-host Mika Brzezinski said.125 The show's primary host Joe Scarborough said the decision to ban Conway from future appearances was based on her being "out of the loop" and "in none of the key meetings". "She's not briefed. She's just saying things just to get in front of the TV to prove her relevance", he said.126
On February 15, 2017, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin agreed that Conway should be banned from future television appearances. "In recent days, George Stephanopoulos and Matt Lauer blasted her directly, essentially calling her a fabulist. Given all that, it would be irresponsible for any news show to put her out there, suggesting she really does not know what is going on at any given moment", Rubin wrote.127
According to Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who had a long-running friendship with Donald Trump themselves and were criticized during the campaign for their closeness to the candidate prior to their bitter feud,128 Conway is privately "disgusted" by her job and Trump, and her words do not reflect her actual beliefs. Conway has since disputed the claim.129130131
Michael Flynn's resignation and suspension from certain television appearances
On February 13, 2017, Conway claimed that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had the president's "full confidence".132 Hours later, Flynn resigned.133 The following day, Conway claimed Flynn had offered to resign, despite the fact that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Trump had asked Flynn for his resignation.134 It was then reported that Conway had allegedly leaked negative stories about Spicer to the press.135136 Following a week of absence from television interviews, it was announced that the White House had sidelined Conway,137 though White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders still alleged to CNNMoney that Conway was going to make many appearances during the week.138
Following the publication of the report, Conway alleged to CNN journalist Dylan Byers that she would be appearing on Fox News that evening.139 The week-long absence from television officially ended when she appeared on an episode of Hannity during the Conservative Political Action Conference.140
Oval Office couch photograph
Conway came under criticism when she was photographed sitting on an Oval Office couch with her legs folded beneath her — shoes pressed against the upholstery — during President Trump's meeting with leaders from historically black colleges and universities.141142 Some observers suggested the sitting position was a sign of disrespect and a lack of decorum.143 Body language expert Patti Wood asserted that Conway's posture was not only rude, but "rather sexual", and a sign that she "doesn't have to follow the rules" because she was "buddies with Trump."144 Conway later addressed the controversy with Lou Dobbs, saying that she was asked to take photographs of the meeting from a certain angle and that she certainly meant "no disrespect." She also blamed the media for the ensuing furor.145146
Political views
Conway views herself as a Generation X conservative.147148
Conway is pro-life, saying in 1996: "We're pro-life. The fetus beat us. We grew up with sonograms. We know life when we see it."149 She spoke at the 2017 March for Life, an annual rally protesting abortion and Roe v. Wade.150
She does not consider herself a feminist "in a classical sense" because she believes the term is associated with being "anti-male" and "pro-abortion", but rather identifies as what she calls an "individual feminist".151 Conway believes that many feminists fail to accept women who are pro-life and conservative, and has stated that such feminists "'mainly care about what happens from the waist down... It's an insult. You know, it's [from] the waist up for me — my eyes, my ears, my head, my heart, my mouth certainly.'"152 She has also stated that "nobody cared" about her experience with sexual harassment and her Me Too moment due to her political views.153
In 2014, Conway coauthored a memo for the pro-amnesty group FWD.us that supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants living in the United States.154
Personal life
Conway is married to George T. Conway III,155 who is a litigation partner at the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and wrote the Supreme Court brief for Paula Jones during the Clinton impeachment in 1998.156157 The couple have four children: twins Claudia and George IV, Charlotte, and Vanessa.158 They live in Alpine, New Jersey.159160161 Prior to her marriage, she dated the late Senator and 2008 Presidential candidate Fred Thompson.162163164
Raised in a Roman Catholic family, Conway said in January 2017 that she continues to be a practicing Catholic.165 Reflecting her upbringing, Conway chose "Blueberry" as her Secret Service code name.166
In a September 2018 interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, Conway stated she was the victim of a sexual assault.167168
Book
In 2005, Conway and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake co-authored What Women Really Want: How American Women Are Quietly Erasing Political, Racial, Class, and Religious Lines to Change the Way We Live (Free Press/Simon & Schuster, 2005; ISBN: 0-7432-7382-6).
