Kellyanne Conway faced backlash online for criticizing Kamala Harris during a recent appearance on the Fox News show “Hannity.” Conway, who previously served as Donald Trump’s campaign manager and adviser, accused Harris of dodging responsibility for President Joe Biden’s shortcomings and being portrayed as whatever her supporters want her to be. Despite her negative comments, Conway unintentionally appeared to praise Harris by listing off several positive attributes such as being good-looking, smart, wealthy, funny, close to her mom, and going on cool vacations.
Many social media users found Conway’s backhanded compliments amusing, with some joking that she unintentionally showed admiration for Harris. Conway’s remarks on “Hannity” also included a critique of the Biden-Harris administration’s record, particularly focusing on the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act into law. Some critics pointed out that Conway’s inconsistent approach to attacking Harris, combined with personal insults, does not align with a winning strategy for Trump as he aims to regain the White House.
In another appearance on Fox Business show “Kudlow,” Conway advised against using personal attacks as a strategy to criticize Harris, emphasizing the need for a focus on policy contrasts and substantive insights instead. This statement further highlighted the inconsistency in Conway’s approach towards Harris and suggested a shift towards a more strategic and policy-based critique. Despite her initial criticisms, Conway’s remarks inadvertently highlighted positive aspects of Harris, leading to mixed reactions online.
Social media responses to Conway’s appearance on “Hannity” ranged from humorous commentary to critical analysis of her approach. Some users pointed out the lack of substance in Conway’s criticisms and the veiled tone of admiration towards Harris in her listing of positive attributes. The conflicting messages in Conway’s comments highlighted the challenges of attacking political opponents effectively and the importance of a clear, consistent messaging strategy. Overall, the online reactions reflected a mix of amusement at Conway’s accidental praise of Harris and criticism of her inconsistent approach to criticism.
