An interesting dynamic has been percolating since the hearing with former ambassador Yovanovitch when a little known congresswoman from upstate New York tried to make a name for herself, with mixed results, to put it mildly. One of her fiercest critics has turned into George Conway, the high-powered Republican lawyer who regularly slams Trump on twitter and elsewhere.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York, 21st District) criticized House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-California, 28th District) because he stopped her from speaking at the impeachment hearings on Friday, but conservative attorney George Conway shut down her criticism. He said the rules would let her and other members of Congress speak later.
George Conway Twitter Handle

Joe Biden has been in office two and a half months and he hasn’t had one late night Twitter meltdown yet. The Ghost of George Conway retweeted. Mike Huckabee motivated me to do this work. The day of the Sandy Hook shooting he inexplicably used the murder of children to spread a cancerous.
“You pulled a stunt to gaslight the public,” Conway wrote.
Once again, Adam Schiff flat out REFUSES to let duly elected Members of Congress ask questions to the witness, simply because we are Republicans. His behavior is unacceptable and he continues to abuse his Chairmanship. Watch 📺👇 pic.twitter.com/qm9Uj8tiHO

'You went to Harvard. You can read,' Conway tweeted, derisively.
Nonsense. You went to Harvard. You can read. You knew full well that the operative resolution (H.Res. 660) only allowed questioning by the ranking Republican or Republican counsel at that point, and that you’d get your turn later. You pulled a stunt to gaslight the public. https://t.co/a9TwNvoYZCpic.twitter.com/2tfRkVjj4B

That was Friday.
Yesterday, Conway upped the ante by max contributing to her Democratic opponent, Tedra Cobb. He also referred to Stefanik as 'lying trash.' Conway also retweeted a photoshopped image of Stefanik that was not so flattering.
Considering her behaviour, the assumption that it was real was an easy enough mistake to make. The original tweet was later deleted.
.@EliseStefanik is lying trash. Please give to her opponent, @TedraCobb. https://t.co/NDstzv2Qgr

I just gave the legal maximum. If you believe in truth in politics and in the rule of law, you should give what you can as well. https://t.co/KztHswmYoTpic.twitter.com/ukfNr66ipP

In return, Stefanik tweeted this and several other tweets about the image. And sort of fitting that a Republican woman doesn't know how to spell misogynist.
And for you @gtconway3d - the one thing I’ve NEVER been called in my life is TRASH.
You need serious help. My opponent Taxin’ Tedra can have your sick mysogynist support.
— Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) November 16, 2019
And Conway responded this way.
Well, now you have. You tell lies to defend a psychologically unstable man who calls people “scum” for telling the truth about him. Good luck with your campaign. https://t.co/3KvXV042Zn

And naturally this morning, this guy tweeted his support for Republicans' new attack dog (a new Republican Star!), no matter how nonsensical her attacks ended up being.
A new Republican Star is born. Great going @EliseStefanik! https://t.co/9QH4oUa2eg

As always, pass the popcorn. This feud will not likely end soon. Oh, and don't forget to support Tedra Cobb in NY-21. She's raised $1 million since Friday, as the disgust with Stefanik and the type of politics she represents is registering in a big way.
I am happy to announce we raised $1 million dollars!
It is impossible to express the feeling of gratitude I have tonight. Thank you #TeamTedra
Together we started something big but it’s not over yet.

Claudia Conway, the 15-year-old daughter of Kellyanne and George Conway, made her return to Twitter Wednesday after announcing earlier this month that her parents were forcing her to delete her social media accounts.
'Got my phone back! probably wont have it for long though considering i'm about to revolutionize twitter brb,' she tweeted to her nearly 132,000 followers Wednesday.
In a series of tweets since she said she had her phone, she took sharp jabs at President Donald Trump, for whom her mother works as a senior advisor.
After Trump said he canceled throwing the first pitch at the New York Yankees game due to the coronavirus, which he referred to as the 'China Virus,' Claudia made a list of aspects of his tweet that she disagreed with.
She encouraged her audience to vote on Election Day in her, writing, 'don't feed into the fire. we must get him OUT. i am compelling my younger audience, if you can, to VOTE. every vote counts.'
In one of her tweeted replies, Claudia Conway also jokingly asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to adopt her.
George Conway Tweets
Some people lashed out at Claudia Conway for being so outspoken on her anti-Trump viewpoint, especially given the position of her mother.
The 15-year-old countered by tweeting, 'this also goes to all the adults in my life who choose to belittle me in 'defense' of my mother. it's none of your business. i am my own person. i possess just as much respect and intellect as you do. what i do and how i use my platform is for the betterment of my generation.'
While Claudia Conway's mother has been known to support the president his views, the same can't be said for her father George Conway. A conservative lawyer and anti-Trump activist, George Conway founded the anti-Trump conservative PAC The Lincoln Project.
