Kellyanna Conway Goes Off On CNN's Wolf Blitzer

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway is not a fan of media discourse surrounding her marriage to George Conway, an outspoken critic of her boss President Donald Trump.

It's a point she made clear again Thursday in a tense back and forth, reports USAToday.

Speaking with CNN's Wolf Blitzer about the first public impeachment inquiry hearing on Wednesday, Kellyanne Conway said she was "embarrassed" for Blitzer after he commented that there are "issues" with her marriage.

"I just have a final question, a sensitive question. And it's a political question, it's a substantive question. I don't want to talk about your marriage, I know there are issues there," Blitzer said, drawing a laugh from Kellyanne Conway.

"Your husband, George Conway, he's a lawyer," Blitzer began before Kellyanne Conway cut him off.

"What did you just say? Did you just say there are issues there? You don't want to talk about my marriage, but there are issues there. Why would you say that?" Kellyanne Conway responded.


George Conway made a rare television appearance on MSNBC as a commentator on the impeachment inquiry. Trump is accused of using the powers of his office to pressure the Ukrainian president to open an investigation into domestic political rivals in exchange for military aid money.

Blitzer asked Kellyanne Conway to respond to the substance of a comment from George Conway's TV commentary as she pressed Blitzer for a reason her husband's voice mattered on the topic, other than because of their relationship.
