George Conway, husband of White House advisor Kellyanne Conway, tweeted last night that Trump's words on immigration are "just drivel" and that "Clearly he has no comprehension of the words he's using."
To say that "illegal immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" is just drivel. Were that true, then the government wouldn't be able to arrest them. Surely that's not the President's position. Clearly he has no comprehension of the words he's using. https://t.co/LYlutDG73M

But this is nothing new. Just because Conway's wife is in cahoots with the president doesn't mean he can't have his own opinions, and that he does.
Just yesterday he co-wrote with Neal Katyal an op-ed for The Washington Post titled, "Trump's proposal to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional."
And last night's tweet wasn't the first of its kind. In August, he corrected Trump when the often-wrong president criticized Ohio Governor John Kasich on how unpopular he was.

And Conway's retweets are often against what his wife would try to defend on Trump's behalf.
Ladies and Gentlemen… the undisputed world heavyweight champion of lying… the 45th president of the United States of America. What a disgrace.

Wanting a president to be able to override the Constitution with an EO is not conservative.

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall during dinnertime at the Conway residence.
