From a history standpoint, I think George is the more significant half of the couple, for his ghosting work on the Paula Jones case (along with his "elves" at the time, AC (the woman-who-shall-not-be-named-here) and Laura Ingraham.
I saw one of Claudia's TikTok videos a few months ago and she seemed as needy for attention as her mother, whose views she repeatedly mocks. (At other times, she expresses profound love and respect for both). "“My mother’s job ruined my life to begin with,” she wrote."" It seems to me that they are both attention seekers and clearly cut from the same cloth. But she can dance.
And she warns against making her father a star, accurately pointing out he's just another conservative. Today the child complains her parents didn't tell the kids they were quitting/stepping down before they tweeted it.
Claudia reacts today by claiming her father physically abused her a lot "in this very room". She's talking to some pro bono lawyers, and she gives out her venmo address for people to send money. She also says her parents had been talking about divorce and were going to finalize it.
Have fun, Kellyanne and George. Claudia is 15 now, she'll be 16 in October, she says her mother has been gone for four years while she worked for Trump. She says she has all these issues because of what her parents have done to her. Her mental health is at an all point low. She says her parents should not have been allowed to have children. She thinks her mother is a sociopath. She complains her mother got her arrested.
Claudia says her 10 and 12 year old sisters' know nothing about this. She intends to keep pushing for emancipation.
This family lives in an $8 million home in Washington, having moved there from New Jersey after her mother began to work to Trump. At the start of Trump's term, they disclosed assets of between $10 and $39 million.
I think Claudia, like her mother, lives in a world of "alternative facts." She sounds savvy enough to know her claims of physical abuse are likely to cause a visit from social services, so you have to wonder, what's up with those?
I think Claudia's biggest talent is dancing.
In 2004, I was asked to guest-post at a conservative blog while its host was away. I had just watched a debate with Dick Cheney. Here's what I wrote:
I was watching Dick Cheney and trying to picture what it would have been like to grow up with him as my father. I mean, forget about what he was saying, just his visage and demeanor. He was so stern looking. And his tone was so authoritarian. ...
...So here’s my mental picture of me at 15, as a daughter of Cheney: I’m a runaway, standing at the downtown Port Authority. I’ve got a tattoo on my ass, a needle in my arm, a cigarette dangling from my lip, and I’m just waiting for the next Midnight Cowboy to roll off the bus. Sorry, but politics aside, doesn’t the guy just give you the creeps?
Even the thought of Dick Cheney still gives me the creeps. But that's also the path I could see Claudia Conway headed down, except for her talent as a dancer and her ability to draw a crowd. Maybe she could jump start her career by presenting an award at the upcoming MTV Music Video Awards on August 30. (p.s. Watch the dance video soon as I'm sure her parents will make her delete it. She's done several of these, but most have already been zapped.)
