Trump denies that former aide Kellyanne Conway told him he’d lost

Tribune News Service

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday accused his former close aide Kellyanne Conway of lying when she claimed she told him he lost the 2020 election — and reignited his feud with her hubby to boot.

“Kellyanne Conway never told me that she thought we lost the election,” Trump wrote Thursday in a post on his new social media startup Truth Social. “If she had, I wouldn’t have dealt with her any longer.”

Trump said he would have told the onetime White House communications director to return to her husband, #NeverTrump conservative lawyer George Conway, if she had made any such claim.

“She would have been wrong — could go back to her crazy husband,” Trump added.

Trump has spent most of the past 18 months repeatedly denying that President Joe Biden beat him.

Kellyanne Conway asserted in her new memoir that she was the only close aide who was brave enough to tell him the truth about the election.

“I may have been the first person Donald Trump rusted in his inner circle who told him that he had come up short this time,” she wrote. Trump rejected the claim out of hand. “Writing books can make people say some very strange things,” Trump retorted.
