‘Normalized A Sociopath’: George Conway Tells ‘Sad Story’ That Led To Trump’s Win
HuffPost
The conservative attorney predicted some Trump voters are “going to be sorely disappointed.”
George Conway on Thursday reflected on Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, saying it was preceded by “a long and sad story that I think historians will be studying for decades, if not centuries.”
“We normalized a sociopath. We normalized a criminal,” the conservative attorney told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. “We became used to a person who has no belief in the rule of law, no belief in democracy ... unless he wins, no belief in anything other than himself.”
While a constitutional system has various checks and balances, Conway noted, “At the end of the day, it can’t tell a free people not to vote for someone who might take away their freedoms, or someone who might take away their democracy, or ... who lead misleads them and demagogues their way to high office.”
He added, “It’s something that unfortunately has happened in democracies before in human history, and it’s not good.”
Conway supported Trump in 2016 but has become a fierce critic of the president-elect. Last year, he divorced Kellyanne Conway, a senior counselor in Trump’s White House who managed his 2016 campaign.
