Trump Makes George Conway Cry
George Conway, a prominent conservative critic of President-elect Donald Trump, has sharply criticized some of the president’s recent Cabinet picks, calling them “truly as bad as you can imagine.” In particular, he singled out three key nominations that he believes could harm the nation and undermine its core values.
Conway expressed strong opposition to the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, a well-known anti-vaccine activist and environmental attorney, has been a controversial figure in public health circles. His views on vaccines and public health policy have raised red flags among both Democrats and Republicans who worry that his leadership could undermine key health agencies, promote anti-science rhetoric, and steer critical government funding toward his personal agenda.
Similarly, Conway criticized the selection of former Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii for Director of National Intelligence. Gabbard, a former presidential candidate, has faced significant scrutiny over her past statements, including her perceived alignment with Russian interests. Given her history of controversial remarks, Conway warned that her confirmation could be a serious setback for national security, particularly in a time when U.S. intelligence agencies are dealing with mounting threats from foreign adversaries.
Finally, Conway took aim at Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for U.S. Attorney General. Gaetz, a polarizing figure even within conservative circles, faces skepticism from many Republican senators who worry about his qualifications and the potential for partisan conflict if he were confirmed as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
While Trump’s Cabinet picks are facing significant resistance, especially from some Republicans, Conway expressed doubt that there would be enough pushback from the GOP. He remarked that Republican senators have often shown a lack of spine when it comes to standing up to the president. However, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, a staunch Trump ally, has warned Republicans who oppose the president’s choices that they could face political consequences, signaling a fierce battle ahead within the party.
With these controversial nominations, the battle over Trump’s Cabinet choices will undoubtedly shape the direction of his administration—and could reveal deep divides within the Republican Party.
