Kellyanne Conway Tried To Take A Dig At Kamala Harris But Failed Miserably

This was unexpected.

Recently, Kellyanne Conway made headlines for her comments about Vice President Kamala Harris during an appearance on Fox News. Conway, who was a campaign manager for Donald Trump, aimed to criticize Harris but ended up unintentionally praising her instead. This situation shows a bigger problem within the Republican Party and how they treat women in politics.

During her appearance, Conway started by saying that Harris needs to take responsibility for the failures of President Biden’s administration. She claimed that Harris should “eat and own all of the failings and flailings” of the current government. This was meant to put the blame on Harris, but what followed was surprising.

Conway then said, “left to her own devices, Kamala Harris is just one big old blind date, and everybody’s making her whatever they need her to be.” She followed this by listing many positive things about Harris, saying she is “so good-looking, so smart, so wealthy, so funny,” and that she has a close relationship with her mother. Conway even mentioned that Harris goes on “really cool vacations” and “will never break your heart.” This unexpected praise led many viewers to question Conway’s true intentions.

One social media user, Acyn, tweeted about Conway’s comments: “Everyone is making her whatever they need her to be. She’s so good-looking and smart and wealthy and funny and close to her mom and goes on really cool vacations and will never break your heart.” This tweet received a lot of attention and sparked various reactions. One user, Jo, humorously replied, “Kellyanne is so fucking jealous. 😂😂😂” Another user said, “What a weird approach here. Kellyanne has got absolutely nothing of substance to throw out there.”

These responses highlight a key issue with the Republican Party: they often lack meaningful criticisms and rely on personal attacks instead. During her appearance, Conway spent much of her time criticizing the Biden-Harris administration, especially their policies like the Inflation Reduction Act. However, instead of focusing on real issues, her comments often slipped into personal remarks, which many found ineffective.

This pattern of personal attacks has been seen before in the GOP. In the past, women like Hillary Clinton faced harsh criticism from conservatives, often based on personal insults rather than serious discussions about policies. This strategy usually backfires, pushing away potential supporters who prefer respectful dialogue. One user, Democracy Posse, commented, “Of all the people I’m going to be happy to never have to listen to or see again once Trump’s gone, Kellyanne Conway is absolutely in my Top 3.”

Moreover, Conway’s suggestion that Trump should avoid calling Harris “stupid” shows the party’s struggle to define a positive image. She said, “The winning formula for President Trump is very plain to see: it’s fewer insults, more insights, and that policy contrast.” It is ironic that Conway gave this advice when she herself has often used insults in her commentary.

The situation with Conway and Harris reminds us that the Republican Party needs to rethink its approach. Instead of trying to undermine successful women, they should recognize and respect their contributions. As one user, Niecy Lee, pointed out, “The cat fight jealousy crap from the MAGA females is ridiculous. Harris is not just a woman, not just a black woman; she is a very experienced leader.”

Many people see through these tactics and want a political environment that values constructive conversations over insults.
