Among the many candidates who campaigned almost exclusively on their disdain for President Donald Trump was one of his most vicious first-term critics.
But after he was absolutely trounced in this week’s primary election, the president had the last laugh.
As TheBlaze reported:
George Conway, ex-husband of former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, was a Republican political strategist before President Donald Trump won election in 2016. He has since become a fierce opponent of the president and even helped found the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political organization.
ADVERTISEMENTNone of that helped Conway in the primary race for New York’s 12th Congressional District, which had a crowded field of candidates that included a Kennedy scion.
“Wow, Mr. Kellyanne Conway, a Trump Deranged Loser at the highest level, is getting absolutely CRUSHED in the Primaries tonight,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social, referring to Conway’s defunct marriage.
“He’ll end up at about 5% of the vote in a rather weak field of young and aggressive Communists,” Trump added. “No wonder his ‘husband’ dumped him like a dog! This is a truly unattractive person, both inside and out. Have a nice life, George!”
The Conway campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
Kellyanne Conway was a Republican strategist who was Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and became a passionate supporter of his policies.
Kellyanne Conway left the Trump campaign just a few months ahead of the 2020 election. The Conways announced their divorce in March 2023 after two decades of marriage.
The defeat also drew widespread social media mockery:
His campaign was rather bizarre. All he talked about was ensuring Trump would be impeached and removed from office, even though in terms of numbers alone the latter is a virtual impossibility.

His campaign was focused on nothing but sending Trump to jail!

Here’s how the Daily Caller broke down the results:
Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway finished 5th behind a nationally unknown candidate in Tuesday’s primary.
Conway lost his congressional bid in New York’s 12th district with 6.1% of the vote, while Nina Schwalbe secured 7.1% and finished 4th. Democratic New York state Rep. Micah Lasher defeated Democratic New York state Rep. Alex Bores in a competitive matchup, making him the likely candidate to replace Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler in November’s general election.
Schwalbe, who holds a PhD in public health, centered her campaign around lowering drug costs, according to her campaign website. Her website touted how she “secured recognition of same-sex couples” while working for the United Nations and delivered hundreds of millions of vaccines during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
And here’s a look back at how Conway launched his one-note vanity campaign:
