Kellyanne Conway Reveals In New Book That There Was Possible Tension Between Ivanka And Her Democrat In-Laws

Not quite the happy family, guys.

It looks like former First Daughter Ivanka Trump’s relationship with her in-laws — hubby Jared Kushner’s mom and dad, who happen to be lifelong Democrats — was a bit more tense and contentious than we even realized, thanks to some new deets that were dished in former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway’s new tell-all book, Here’s the Deal: A Memoir, that hits the shelves on Tuesday.

Kellyanne is, of course, no stranger to families who are a mixed bag of political affiliations. The former Trump White House aide and campaign manager’s husband, George Conway, made one hell of a name for himself throughout Donald Trump’s administration as a staunch, vocal critic of his own wife’s boss. Kellyanne reveals in her opus that she found Ivanka Trump to be quite the friend back then, lending Conway “empathy and an ear” during those troubling times when her husband publicly railed against the guy she was devoted to in her career.

According to an excerpt from Kellyanne’s forthcoming book obtained by People Magazine, the former Trump White House advisor recalled a specific incident, in which Donald Trump’s eldest daughter told her, “I am in a family of Democrats,” referencing at least some of her husband’s family members. “I get it.”

While we’ve known for some time now that there’s just not a whole lot of love to be had between Ivanka, Jared, and his immediate family, this particular revelation from Conway’s upcoming book is a significant one, in the sense that it highlights Jared and Ivanka’s willingness to proverbially spit in his parents’ faces to instead ride Ivanka’s father’s coattails all the way up to D.C.’s most elite.

Even now, as Donald Trump’s tumultuous presidential term has come to a screeching, humiliating halt, and Jared and Ivanka work to back away from her scandal-ridden father as much as humanly possible, it seems the former First Daughter and her spouse have yet to repair their relationship with Jared’s Left-leaning family if it’s even still repairable at all.

While Ivanka and Jared no longer throw their blind support behind her controversial father, we’ve definitely not seen them turning tail to cozy back up to Jared’s side either.

It seems they’re living a pretty lonely life these days if you ask me.
