Kellyanne Conway’s daughter Claudia, 15, blasts both parents for silencing her: 'Sorry, your marriage failed'
Kellyanne Conway’s daughter, Claudia Conway, has spoken out again on social media, but this time she is trolling her parents online. The 15-year-old live-streamed a TikTok video showing her confrontation with her mother, one of Donald Trump's counselors, and told her father George Conway -- a critic of the US president -- she was “sorry [his] marriage failed”. Claudia made headlines recently after her videos criticizing Trump and highlighting activist causes went viral. Through her TikTok videos and Instagram posts, the teenager has voiced her opinion and encouraged her over 16,000 TikTok followers to leave one-star reviews of Trump businesses. She also sarcastically revealed how hard it is for her to have a different political opinion from that of her politically polarized parents.
However, her recent post was about her mother in which Claudia claimed the 53-year-old was trying to switch off her phone and also put pressure on her to delete her social media accounts, even though Kellyanne has earlier said that she supports her daughter’s independent voice and making up her own political views. In the TikTok video, Kellyanne was seen taking the teen’s phone from her hand when she wouldn't stop posting. “You can get back to it, turn it off. Turn it off now lady,” Kellyanne said to which Claudia said to the viewers: “No I'm not ok thanks guys though” while ignoring her mother.
“Also she keeps insulting my mental health. I'm just showing everyone the truth, you're literally not letting me use my freedom of speech,” Claudia added, to which Kellyanne responded that she “can use her freedom of speech but daddy just wants you to shut it off because not everyone who follows you is well-meaning”. “That many people have nothing to do? That's amazing, it's so nice out,” Kellyanne said as she looked at the number of viewers on Claudia's stream. After that, the screen suddenly went black with a message saying the host is away as Claudia was heard shouting “Mom, what are you doing” and Kellyanne replied, “It's mine”.
“My parents, particularly my mother, are trying to silence me by getting me to delete my social media. haha,” Claudia tweeted on Friday, July 3. In addition, after the teenager gave interviews to Insider and USA Today with the permission of her father, George reportedly altered his stand and wrote on Twitter: “To journalists: @kellyannepolls and I do *not* consent to any communications between you and any of our minor children, including our daughter Claudia. So desist. Thank you.” However, her father’s reversed attitude did not go down well with Claudia, who is one of the four children of Kellyanne and George. “You’re just mad that I’m finally getting my voice heard. sorry, your marriage failed,” she responded on Twitter from her private account.
Kellyanne has previously spoken about her decision to work with Trump and what she has told her daughters about it. “In explaining how I feel about one thing that Donald Trump said or did to my daughters, I would be remiss in not revealing the full conversation, which is also why Mommy, who's a woman, did not support the first female presidential candidate for a major party,” the pollster said after she helped the Republican beat Hillary Clinton to the White House in 2016.
She added: “I would tell them that I respect very much that Secretary Clinton was running for president, and it showed that in this country, anybody can do anything if they set their mind to it. At the same time, I tried to explain to them that you could be excited for someone with whom you disagree, and share in that moment in history as a proud American.”
