CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Claudia Conway, the 19-year-old daughter of former Donald Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, is unfazed by the torrent of hate she’s received from MAGA supporters after posting a cheeky selfie from the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

The photo, which quickly went viral on X, featured Claudia smirking alongside her father, George Conway, both sporting green Brat-themed pins with Vice President Kamala Harris' name - an image that set conservative tongues wagging.

Claudia Conway remains unfazed by MAGA backlash

Claudia Conway and George Conway, the co-founder of Lincoln Project, attended the second night of the DNC on Tuesday, August 20, where both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama delivered speeches.

In the photo caption, Claudia didn’t hold back, taunting her critics with, "MAGA’s most-hated." The reaction was swift and brutal. Trump supporters slammed the post, with some expressing pity for Kellyanne and others hurling insults at Claudia and George. 



 

But Claudia is not easily swayed. In an interview, she made it clear that the vitriol doesn’t bother her.

"All those comments that are saying that - I'm with my parents right now and we feel sorry for them," she shot back.

"A lot of these people live on Twitter like my mom always says, and they don't like seeing a woman with an opinion on either side," she added, as reported by The Sun.

Nevertheless, Claudia’s message to her haters were, "Open a book and educate yourselves." She sees the backlash as a badge of honor and a reflection of her growing political voice, especially as she prepares to vote in her first presidential election.

“There’s a lot of excitement and a lot of attention on the election cycle at this moment - it’s something that everybody has their eyes on,” she shared.

Claudia Conway escalates tensions with livestream plans

The drama didn't stop there. Claudia Conway stirred the pot further by announcing a live session with both of her parents on X and Instagram, which drew even more snarky comments from detractors.

"Will be going live in the next thirty minutes or so with @gtconway3d and @KellyannePolls here on X and also on Instagram!" she said.

In 2023, Claudia's parents revealed they were divorcing after 22 years of marriage. “We married more than two decades ago, cherish the many happy years (and four corgis) we’ve shared, and above all else, our four incredible children, who remain the heartbeat of our family and our top priority," Kellyanne and George wrote in their statement.

While Kellyanne played a significant role in the Trump campaign, George openly criticized the former president and actively opposed his reelection in 2020.

Former Trump allies shift loyalty to Kamala Harris

Some of Donald Trump's former employees have distanced themselves from the business mogul, choosing instead to support Kamala Harris.

Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, voiced her disapproval of the former president during her speech at the DNC on Tuesday night, August 20.

"I couldn't be a part of the insanity any longer," she declared. "Unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand at that podium and lie. Now here I am, behind a podium, advocating for a Democrat and that's because I love my country more than my party."
