The Twitter account @KellyanneLeaks was set up on Friday night to expose Ms. Conway for supposedly dishing dirt on her Trump Team peers.
Daily Mail reports that apparently, someone at the same party as her live-tweeted her inappropriate behavior, though the veracity of all of these tweets has not been confirmed by another source. Politco, however, is confirming that the conversations themselves took place.
I’ve provided screenshots of the tweets, in case they get taken down, but you can see the originals at the link above.
If this is all true, it’s pretty disappointing coming from Kellyanne.
Is it a huge deal to trash talk your colleagues? No. It’s stupid, but not the worst thing that can happen. But here’s the thing, Kellyanne isn’t most people. Kellyanne is a counselor on a team that people are actively trying to take down. The White House has RAGED against leakers revealing to the Media issues that should be kept private. All administrations have issues, and some of them can and should be kept behind closed doors. What the HELL was she thinking?
Daily Mail reports that:
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer disputed the account provided by the Twitter account regarding the allegedly overheard chatting. Spicer told Politico Conway was mocking reporters, not Priebus or other White House colleagues.
So they already have Spicer on damage control. Great. Maybe this team needs to focus more on offense. Being on defense CONSTANTLY is not a good place to be.
NOTE: If this is true, this does not implicate Kellyanne as “THE” leaker, simply as “leaking” information about matters that need to be kept behind closed doors. No one needs to hear her mock members of her own team. It gives them fodder.
