It’s appalling to me.”Conway is one of the few conservatives in the public arena who has denounced Trump’s conduct during his presidency, as support for the president has largely followed party lines.”I’m horrified. I’m appalled,” he said. “If you had told me three years ago it would come to this, I wouldn’t have believed this. I don’t think I could have imagined a president, any president, engaging in this sort of conduct.””This is about putting the country, the law, truth, above partisanship,” Conway said.During the segment, he responded to the first televised impeachment hearings and lashed out at fellow Republicans for “shooting away their credibility” in their defenses for the president.”Sometimes when you’re defending people, you have to admit there was something that’s not quite right, and that preserves some credibility,” Conway said on the segment. “Republicans are just shooting away their credibility; they have none.”He went on to applaud Bill Taylor, who served as the top American diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, a senior State Department official, for testifying in the impeachment probe on Wednesday.”These men are talking about duty and honor and country and freedom,” Conway said. “Those words mean nothing to Donald Trump. Because all Donald Trump cares about, again, is himself.”Conway has openly criticized the president despite his wife serving the Trump administration. He wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post calling Trump a “racist president,” and often expresses his concern surrounding the Trump presidency via Twitter.The president has taken shots at the conservative attorney as well, calling him a “loser” and a “husband from hell.”Read more:Inside the marriage of Kellyanne and George Conway, who are worth $39 million and increasingly facing off over TrumpTrump attacks senior adviser Kellyanne Conway’s ‘stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!”A s—show in a dumpster fire’: Attorney George Conway, husband of Kellyanne Conway, rails against the Trump administrationJoe Walsh reportedly wants to troll Trump by recruiting George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, to work on his 2020 campaignGeorge Conway, husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, writes scathing op-ed article calling for Trump’s impeachmentKellyanne Conway loses it on reporter in 7-minute phone call over article mentioning her anti-Trump husband
