Before Trump’s omnipresent spokescobra Kellyanne Conway distracted everyone with her inauguration get-up, Samantha Bee delivered a withering assessment of Trump’s greatest female enabler of all time (Putin holds the male title).
Conway made her name bashing the Clintons on TV in the 1990s, and she’s known Trump for over a decade, acoording to this Cosmo overview:
Conway met Trump in 2006, when she was living in one of his buildings, according to the Washington Post. She even served on the condo board of the Trump World Tower in Manhattan. Trump, she told the Post, was surprisingly hands on, even showing up to meetings to hear residents’ concerns. Over the years, the Post continued, Trump would call her to say he’d seen her on TV and ask her opinion on a topic.
The pair met again in March 2015 to discuss his presidential bid. She said Trump offered her a job on his campaign, but she declined over fears of how the public would view the partnership. “Like, ‘What are you doing there?'” she said. “Riding on a plane? Whispering in his ear about what he should say to women?”
