Longtime Donald Trump critic George Conway ignited a fierce response from the White House after releasing a provocative campaign ad in his bid for Congress, in which he vowed to impeach the president and send him to prison if elected.
White House attacks George Conway
Conway, a prominent anti-Trump attorney and political commentator, officially entered the race in January to replace retiring New York Democrat Jerry Nadler. But it was his latest campaign video that quickly drew national attention — and an angry reaction from the Trump administration.
In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, the White House sharply attacked Conway personally, accusing him of being consumed by opposition to Trump.
“Lightweight George Conway is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person,” the statement said. “His severe and debilitating disease known as Trump Derangement syndrome has melted his brain and made him crazy in the head.”
Donald Trump could get impeached
Conway, who was previously married to former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, wasted little time going after the president in the campaign ad, opening with a direct message aimed squarely at Trump himself.
“Hi, Donald, it’s me, George Conway. I cost you 88 million f****** dollars, and I’ve only just gotten started,” he said.
The comment referenced the $88 million Trump was ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll in a defamation case after he denied allegations connected to a separate sexual assault lawsuit that Carroll had previously won. Conway has publicly taken credit for introducing Carroll to the attorney who ultimately secured the judgment.
Tying Donald Trump to broader economic frustrations
The ad then escalated further, with Conway issuing an even more pointed warning.
“But the only thing your name is going to be left on when I’m done with you is the orange jumpsuit you’re going to have to wear in prison,” he said.
Pointing toward the U.S. Capitol building, Conway continued, “That’s where we’re going to hold your third and final impeachment trial. The one that’s going to put you away for good, and I’m going to enjoy every minute of that.”
Conway closed by tying Trump to broader economic frustrations, saying, “But we can’t fix those problems until we can impeach you and convict you. And that’s why I’m running for Congress. And you are going to regret that.”
