Fact: “Reality shows are not real.” This fake entertainment medium is designed to use emotions to sell advertising. The “actors” are given scripts, and there are directors, soundmen, lighting experts, make-up artists, and script consultants in attendance. These shows are an attack on intelligent Americans performed by bad actors and choreographed by bad writers and directors.
However, there is one household in America which would provide honest “reality television;” the residence of George and Kellyanne Conway.
When Ted Cruz’ presidential bid imploded, billionaire Robert Mercer brought his money to Trump’s fumbling campaign. Along with millions of dollars came new campaign CEO Steve Bannon, and campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. The world soon learned that Kellyanne was Trump’s first paid liar. Her sole purpose was to defend Trump’s many, many lies, and his vile agenda. Her only purpose in Trump’s White House remains her first.
Kellyanne is married to George Conway. George is one of Trump’s biggest and most vocal critics.
On Sunday it was announced that Trump’s Director of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, had been forced to resign. Reports of Trump screaming at her throughout her tenure were indications that the end was only a matter of time. Nielsen is the 12th cabinet-level member of Trump’s administration to leave in just over two years. This is a record which will never be broken.
“The president berated Ms. Nielsen regularly, … to demand that she take action[s] [that] includ[ed] … things that were clearly illegal. She repeatedly noted the limitations imposed … by federal laws …. [That] only infuriated Mr. Trump further.”
The former was a tweet by George Conway. He has frequently attacked the orange man for believing that he is above the law, and can act as a “king,” not an elected public servant.
George has criticized Trump for nearly every mistake made since his inauguration; that required a large number of op-eds and tweets.
This wasn’t the first time George discussed Trump’s disdain for the law. In an ‘Axios’ article “Trump’s former White House counsel Don McGahn had confided to a group of Republicans that the president frequently “yelled” at him. Conway assumed those heated confrontations concerned McGahn’s warnings to Trump not to break the law.
Maybe we don’t need an actual “reality television show.” All we need are microphones in every room of the Conway household. That’s a podcast I would listen to.
