Are Kellyanne and George Conway declaring a truce?

Just to add some info, she tweeted:

“y’all love to twist everything, i’m not getting emancipated because of my mom’s job… it is because of years of childhood trauma and abuse”

Speaking as a child of abuse, I have no problems imagining that growing up she was emotionally abused and used as a pawn in her parents arguments. Considering how much they attack each other publicly, I can only imagine how bad it must be at home.

Or this could all be complete crap and she’s just a 15 year old looking to pick up followers, but I personally think the odds of her mom and/or dad being verbally and emotionally abusive rank wayyyy higher than her just wanting attention.

If my mom lied daily, and was instrumental in keeping a guy in power who killed a hundred thousand Americans through incompetence/general evil, I’d write her off too. I’d have done it at 15 if I knew enough to try.

I think what others are saying, and what I definitely believe, is that when your mother is the American version of Baghdad Bob, the personal and political are probably difficult, if not impossible, to separate.

Why would you think that two people whom you’ve described as “monstrous” would suddenly be showing “their love, attention and willingness to stop publicly embarrassing me and ruining my life”? Why would that seem like a credible thing for them to do? As opposed to, oh, trying to control her through any means available?

Do you see the disconnect in the various things you are saying, or do you need them pointed out more?

No, that would be her dad.

How about you find and quote where I’ve called her parents “monstrous” so we can continue this conversation.

She has not talked about homeschooling, just about temporary remote schooling during the pandemic.

Our four children are teens and tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months," continued Mrs Conway. "As millions of parents nationwide know, kids ‘doing school from home’ requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times.

Oh sorry; you didn’t describe the parents as monstrous… you described the 15 year old as a monster, while blaming her for her situation.

:man_facepalming:

That’s totally different.

In light of that: why would you think that two people who you’ve described as parents who raised a monster would suddenly be showing “their love, attention and willingness to stop publicly embarrassing me and ruining my life”? Why would that seem like a credible thing for them to do? As opposed to, oh, trying to control her through any means available?

Do you see the disconnect in the various things you are saying, or do you need them pointed out more?

If that is all the effort you’re going to put into understanding simple sentence structure and meaning then that is the same effort I will put into continuing to answer your silly conclusions. Which is to say, none.

Ah, yes… running away; good show!

I think maybe she made up a bunch of accusations about mom to teach her an object lesson about posting malicious lies on social media.

Not at all. Just not interested in parsing simple sentence structure for you. Isn’t there a quarry nearby you need to kick rocks into?

You called a 15 year old kid a monster. You repeatedly blamed her for her situation.

And then you said that her parents, who created what you consider a monster, were somehow going to be showering her with love and attention, which would deflect from her accusations of abuse.

But you don’t see any disconnect there. :roll_eyes:

And twice now you’ve said you were going to stop posting in this thread (once in general and once to reply to my posts) and yet you continue to post here.

And now you’ve started ad hominem attacks on me.

So much to respond to, but I have to LOL myself so much at this remark:
Saying “I’m a savage lol”

I’m guessing you have no idea that “Savage” with that line was the song of the summer by Megan Thee Stallion and the biggest tiktok dance.

Also? If you dive into her tiktok account, she does claim abuse and has audio to back it up, of her aunt. Claudia is disgusted by the vile lies her mom tells, the rampant homophobia of the Republican party, and the blatant dysfunction of her parents spilling over into neglect of their children.

Too many of you are too jaded to know what “kids today” are like. They are well aware of the world around them. Could Claudia be conniving and attention seeking? Maybe. If so, it was caused by the situation her parents put her in and so getting away isn’t a bad thing. Could she also be lashing out at the ugliness both parents, especially her mother, not only represents but revels in? My teenage daughter is way more socially conscious than I ever was so I’m not surprised.

A “needy attention monster”. It’s a distinction with a difference. It matters to those for whom words and meaning still matter.

No I blamed her parents. But she is responsible for the things she tweets.

That’s right. She has their undivided attention now. Let’s see what happens next.

So did you know all along that she’s really a victim of abuse? Or did you learn that she made that accusation , along with the rest of us, when it was posted in this thread about hour ago.

I know. Can you believe it? Alert the media!

And you were not satisfied with simply being dismissed and felt the need insinuate cowardice on my part. How does that usually go for you?

I wonder how she is treated by her peers? I wonder how much that might play into this whole thing?

I think it’s difficult for us to see this through 15 year old eyes.

True. Few of us had the attention of nearly 500,000 twitter followers.

(Right. You know I’m unable to stop peeking at this thread, even though I’m working, dammit. Really.)

So - quick question, the answer to which I’ll digest later: what’s a capital-S savage, per what “kids these days” are up to? It might help me understand why the bullet points I listed are not actually “cause for concern.” I might just as easily have used the words, “a cry for help” so you can explain how what she’s posted on SM isn’t a cry for help, if you believe that to be the case.

I very much didn’t intend it to be funny. Nor did I find anything funny about declaring this child to be a “scary, fucked-up kid” or your apparent suggestion that what was lacking from her upbringing was physical abuse and violent property damage.
