A new campaign advertisement from New York Democratic congressional hopeful George Conway, vowing to impeach President Donald Trump and put you away for good, has triggered an unusually blistering response from the White House.
According to Mediaite, the ad, released as Conway seeks to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), prompted officials to issue a scathing statement to Fox News Digital accusing the liberal attorney of being consumed by animus toward the 45th president. In the statement, the White House charged that Conway was suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, a phrase conservatives have long used to describe what they see as irrational, obsessive hostility toward President Trump.
Lightweight George Conway is a stupid persons idea of a smart person, the statement declared, escalating the rhetoric against the prominent anti-Trump lawyer and media commentator. His severe and debilitating disease known as Trump Derangement syndrome has melted his brain and made him crazy in the head.
Conway, who rose to prominence as a relentless critic of President Trump despite having once been married to Kellyanne Conway, the Presidents senior counselor during his first term, has built his campaign squarely on opposition to the former commander-in-chief. He announced his run in January, positioning himself as the progressive heir to Nadler in a deep-blue Manhattan district that has reliably backed Democrats and their impeachment crusades.
The ad opens with Conway addressing the President directly: Hi, Donald, its me, George Conway. I cost you 88 million f*cking dollars, and Ive only just gotten started. He is referring to the $88 million judgment President Trump was ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll in a defamation case, a verdict many conservatives view as a politicized weaponization of the courts.
Conway boasts that he introduced Carroll to the attorney who secured the award and then mocks the Presidents well-known branding instincts. I know you like putting your name on everything, from your plane to the Kennedy Center, he says, adding, Sorry about that, as footage shows the Kennedy Center after Trumps name was removed, a symbolic erasure cheered by the left.
But the only thing your name is going to be left on when Im done with you is the orange jumpsuit youre going to have to wear in prison, Conway continues, as the ad shifts to the U.S. Capitol. And you see that building back there? he asks, pointing to the dome. Thats where were going to hold your third and final impeachment trial. The one thats going to put you away for good, and Im going to enjoy every minute of that.
In a revealing moment, Conway briefly acknowledges the real-world hardships facing Americans under Democrat-led governance. Weve got a lot of serious problems in this country, including, and especially the price of gas, which is hitting six dollars a gallon in some places, he says, before insisting, And thats all because of you, Donald Trump. But we cant fix those problems until we can impeach you and convict you. And thats why Im running for Congress. And are going to regret that.
The ad underscores how central the pursuit of President Trump remains to the Democratic agenda, even as families struggle with inflation, energy costs, and public safety concerns that receive only passing mention from candidates like Conway. For voters watching this spectacle, the question is whether they want another member of Congress campaigning on vengeance and perpetual impeachment, or leaders focused on restoring prosperity, security, and constitutional restraint in Washington.
