Kellyanne Conway's getting mocked for trying to diss her husband off the record
There are some things Kellyanne Conway just can't spin her way out of.
See: her most recent profile in The Washington Post. The paper interviewed Conway, chief counselor to President Donald Trump, as well her husband George Conway, a former Trump supporter turned Trump antagonist on Twitter.
Kellyanne being Kellyanne, she complained about her husband's tweets to the Post, and then tried to make the whole conversation disappear.
Let's just say it didn't go as planned.

At one point, after describing her husband's anti-Trump tweets as "impolite" and "disrespectful," Conway tried to suggest the whole conversation was off the record. Reporter Ben Terris refused to let her get away with it:
I'll give this to Conway — I've spent minutes, hours even, trying to parse her logic and I've ended up lost in a field. There is no one better than Conway when it comes to delivering absolute falsehoods and then wrangling her way out of it — except this time.
Anyway, the Twitterati stepped in and offered their perspectives on the Conway situation:
Kellyanne Conway trying to anonymously source herself to the press while bashing the press’s use of anonymous sources is my favorite Kellyanne Conway. https://t.co/fwa3Xc51iu

no surprise that Kellyanne’s home life is a mess. I’m also in a Verified/unverified marriage — every day is a struggle

Thankfully, this low-brow moment in political history is on the record.
