Top White House aide Kellyanne Conway defended President Donald Trump’s recent attacks against her husband, George Conway, saying the president couldn’t be expected to remain silent as her husband publicly questioned his mental fitness for office. “[Trump] left it alone for months out of respect for me,” Conway told Politico on Wednesday. “But you think he shouldn’t respond when somebody, a non-medical professional accuses him of having a mental disorder? You think he should just take that sitting down?”George Conway, an attorney who has been married to Kellyanne since 2001, has made a daily habit of mocking the president on Twitter. In November, George Conway wrote an op-ed in The New York Times bashing Trump’s interim attorney general pick to replace the ousted Jeff Sessions.
