Kellyanne Conway Teams Up With Ex-Obama Aide And People Are Pissed

Former Donald Trump White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and former Barack Obama top aide David Plouffe have teamed up to present a new podcast called “The Campaign Managers” — and people are pissed.
Conway on Wednesday wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that the series launching on May 22 will “delve deep into the complexities of the 2024 election.”
The pair will “go beyond the headlines to dissect the latest campaign strategies, analyze the pressing issues shaping the political landscape, and share our first-hand experiences running the campaigns of history-making” candidates Trump and Obama, she said.

Plouffe, meanwhile, expressed hope on X that “listeners will gain value by hearing in one place how both sides assess the election and how the campaigns can take advantage of opportunities and mitigate challenges.”
Back in the podcast arena. This time with @KellyannePolls The Campaign Managers launches May 22! Please tune in to go deep into the complexities of the 2024 election. We’ve both run and won Presidential elections and hope listeners will gain value by hearing in one place how…
The vast majority of commenters, however, just wanted to know why Plouffe, who managed Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, was joining forces with the Trump 2016 campaign managing purveyor of “alternative facts” who relentlessly spun Trump’s controversies throughout his presidency.
You should not be doing this, David. Please re-think.
Are you going to fact check her as part of the podcast? There’s been no appearance she’s made where she isn’t lying/gaslighting people. I get what you’re trying to do which is a podcast version of the Harvard post-election panel, but she really can’t be trusted. Just ask George.
Ummmm what
I wouldn’t listen to this hot garbage with anyone else’s ears, Hatch ActPlouffe, what are you doing with this Trumptrash?
Why would @davidplouffe do a podcast with alternative facts Kellyanne?
David, you may recall that we met at my home on Long Island in 2008, when you spoke at an Obama campaign fundraiser that I hosted. I think it’s a TERRIBLE idea for you to partner with Kellyanne. I seriously hope you’ll reconsider — you’ll be lending credence to a blatant liar.
FFS, I’m truly shocked that you’d platform someone who is enabling the reinstallment of a day 1 dictator as if she’s just a normal campaign operative and not one of the most base and vile members of his circle.
Haha, no.NEVER.No thanks.Horrible idea. Nothing can make Kellyanne Conway palatable, and not only that, she will destroy your brand, whatever that is.Any cache of respectability that remains from your political life will age like gas station sushi in the summer sun.
