George Conway, Ex-Husband Of Trump Adviser Kellyanne Conway, Donates $929,000 To Joe Biden

George Conway, a top Republican lawyer who has been an outspoken critic of former president Donald Trump, has donated the maximum amount of $929,000 to President Joe Biden’s victory fund.

Conway, who divorced Kellyanne Conway, the ex-Trump White House counselor, is also going to headline a fundraiser for Biden on April 24, with a minimum donation of $500 per person. 

The event will take place in Washington, D.C., marking the anti-Trump lawyer’s “first big pro-Biden event.”

Melissa Moss, a strategic consultant, and her husband, Jonathan Silver, are the lead hosts for the event. 

The lawyer frequently appears on MSNBC to criticize Trump, calling him a “psychopath” and “sadistic.” 

Conway said that he was hoping to “make amends” for supporting the former president in the past.

“I don’t like corrupt politicians,” Conway stated on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal last December. “I don’t like liars. That’s what this is about. And yes, I – I was confused by Donald Trump. I am ashamed that I supported him in 2016. It was a mistake of judgment. It was just make a moral judgment. It was an intellectual mistake. And I – I want to make amends for that.”

On July 15, 2019, Conway wrote an editorial in The Washington Post in which he attacked Trump and called him a racist for his tweets telling four congresswomen of color to return to “where they came from.”

The lawyer said that these tweets changed his opinion of him. Even though he once viewed Trump as “boorish, dim-witted, inarticulate, incoherent, narcissistic and insensitive,” he stated that he now believed that the former president is undoubtedly “a racist.”

While speaking on Preet Bharara’s podcast on October 15, 2019, Conway urged Trump Administration officials to resign, saying that the West Wing loyalists would not positively restrain Trump’s actions.

He stated that if they cannot “have a positive effect on [the former president],” he does not believe “anybody can.”
