'She's an awful person': Kellyanne Conway shredded for controversial remarks on Democrats and abortion
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Kellyanne Conway, the former senior counselor in the Trump administration and a strong ally of Donald Trump is facing extensive criticism for a controversial comment where she mocked the Democrats being obsessed with abortions.
She made the bizarre comments during Fox News's 'Outnumbered' panel discussion on Wednesday, December 20.
"I just think the Democrats wake up every morning, and they look at the calendar on the iPhone, and it says January 6, 2021. The date never changes. And then they get into an electric vehicle and go get an abortion," Conway said.

Her snarky remarks came amidst her rebuking the Democart's support of the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling that barred Donald Trump as a candidate in the state's upcoming primary ballot in March 2024.
Kellyanne Conway's snarky description of the Democratic Party
The former Trump aide's attempt to defend her former boss came with disparaging remarks against the rival party and abortion.
"I just described the Democratic Party in 7 seconds. That's it. That's what I see. But it's always January 6," she added.
In the first presidential elections since the SCOTUS revoked Roe v Wade in 2022, restricting abortion access, the issue has become a core focus of Republicans and Democrats.
The leading Republican's take on abortion, as the individual states now have the right to rule on abortion access, has made several headlines recently.
For instance, the Texas SC ruling banning emergency abortion for a 21-week Dallas woman whose fetus had a fetal condition made many doubt the future of the country if Trump is elected in 2024. Similarly, another GOP contender, Vivek Ramaswamy, at the CNN Town Hall in Iowa on December 13, urged the SCOTUS to limit access to the abortion drug mifepristone in the country.
Similar to Conway mocking abortion, another Republican and Trump supporter, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, baselessly claimed abortion caused staffing shortages in all sectors.
Despite the Republicans' anti-abortion stance, GOP Senator J D Vance in a recent interview warned that it may cost them elections if people consider the party as a group trying to snatch their rights.
