Conway to Chris Wallace: ‘Really Inappropriate’ to Ask Me If George’s Comments Have Hurt Our Marriage

‘I guess the question I have to ask, bottom line, final question, has this hurt your marriage?’

WALLACE: Finally, and you have said that you believe that this has hurt your four children, and understandably, nobody would want to see their mom and dad fighting out in public.

CONWAY: But that’s not true, some people would like us to fight.

WALLACE: I don’t —

CONWAY: Some people take a little bit too much glee over the situation.

(CROSSTALK)

WALLACE: I don’t your children want you to fight.

I guess the question I have to ask, bottom line, final question, has this hurt your marriage?

CONWAY: Oh, Chris, what are you, Oprah now? I mean, what am I, on a couch and you are a psychiatrist? I think it’s a really inappropriate question, and here’s why. That’s the line over which nobody should have crossed.

So if you want to talk about policy issues, policy disagreements, the fact that George Conway, my husband, would prefer that I not work in the White House, I guess you can ask those questions. The president has weighed in. I’ve weighed in, as modestly as I can.

But now, you’re asking a very personal question and I would say to you, you should go ask it of many people.

WALLACE: OK.

CONWAY: Because I see messy lives living in glass houses all over both cities in which I live.

WALLACE: I would only point out — and look, this is not something I’m comfortable talking about, your boss.

CONWAY: I’m surprised you would ask that.

WALLACE: The president did call him the husband from hell, so it’s out there.

CONWAY: I’m surprised that people would ask that question. I have seen home wreckers on TV as marital experts, all of a sudden. It’s very amusing to me.

But I think people knew they crossed the line when they’re talking about people’s marriages. All the stuff about leave us alone in my private life. My family has a right to their private life also.

WALLACE: OK.

CONWAY: I have children who are 14, 14, 11 and 9. And the reasons get so much coverage, particularly by the mainstream media is because George Conway now agrees with them. He shares the views about President Trump and their goals.

WALLACE: Kellyanne —

CONWAY: But you know what? If you read George’s op-ed in “The Washington Post,” the headlines didn’t match the op-ed. He was talking about the Mueller report, the Barr memo and I think that they just — they take glee in this and people should have thought thrice before they crossed a certain line over the last couple of days (ph).

WALLACE: Kellyanne, I — you know, as I said, I’m not comfortable people asking it, it is what people are talking about. If I offended you, I’m sorry.

CONWAY: I’m sure. Thank you.

WALLACE: Thank you. Thanks for your time. Always good to talk with you. Please come back.

CONWAY: You got it.
