The husband of counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway has deleted a handful of posts to his Twitter account critical of President Donald Trump, including one in which he sarcastically wrote that "people are banging on the doors to be his communications director."

In addition to the joke about the job of Trump’s communications director — a position for which Kellyanne Conway’s name has been floated — George Conway, a prominent conservative attorney, also undid a retweet that featured a video clip from last weekend’s “60 Minutes” interview with Stormy Daniels. He also deleted one in which a former Obama administration official explained why he had not allowed the practice of asking staffers to sign nondisclosure agreements, something the Trump administration has reportedly allowed.


Conway confirmed to POLITICO earlier this week that the handle @gtconway3d is his.

That Conway deleted some of his Twitter posts was previously reported by CNN. Reached by the cable news network, Conway declined to clarify why he had deleted the posts.

While Conway has deleted some of his tweets, others that are critical of the president remain online, including one in which he linked to a New York Times post about a story that the president’s legal team had discussed pardons for former Trump aides Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, a report Conway called “flabbergasting.”

A Friday morning retweet from Conway, however, included a link to a Washington Post op-ed by a former Obama administration official who wrote on Twitter that "fundamentally @realDonaldTrump doesn't get that public service is a public trust."

Also still on Conway’s account is a retweet from conservative commentator Erick Erickson, who wrote “’We didn’t elect him to be a pastor’ is the greatest cop out ever,” an apparent reference to evangelicals‘ support for the president despite multiple reports of less-than-Christian behavior, most recently his alleged 2006 affair with Daniels, a porn actress.

Kellyanne Conway, in response to a question on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” Friday morning about Hillary Clinton’s recent rhetoric that she has been the subject of unfair treatment because she is a woman, alluded to her husband’s criticism of the president even as she attacked the 2016 Democratic nominee.

“This whole oh, woe is me, I'm a victim of sexism and misogynism because of the election and white women listen to their husbands and their sons as to where they get their political cues. Obviously I certainly don't,” she said. “The fact is that Hillary Clinton is still talking about her and an election that happened a year and a half ago ahead of the next elections.”
