Donald Trump’s campaign manager said Friday that the anti-Trump, negative turn that Hillary Clinton has taken in her campaign in recent days is “even sadder” because it “comes from a woman.”

Kellyanne Conway, who is the first woman to manage a Republican presidential campaign, has attacked Clinton regularly in recent days for spending the bulk of her time on the stump attacking Trump instead of presenting a positive message focused on her plans for the country. On Twitter Friday morning, Conway took that criticism a step further.


“The most joyless presidential candidate is running the nastiest, most substance-free campaign in final days. Even sadder? Comes from a woman,” she wrote.

Drawing a contrast, Conway has been quick to suggest that Trump has thus far spent the campaign’s final days pitching Americans on his candidacy, not tearing down that of his opponent. But in truth, the Manhattan billionaire has devoted much time at his rallies and events to attacking Clinton, suggesting that she is likely to be indicted following an FBI investigation and continuing to pin on her the nickname “Crooked Hillary.”
