Kellyanne Conway tears into Chris Wallace over ‘inappropriate’ question about her marriage

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway made an appearance on Fox News Sunday over the weekend, and things got fiery.

Conway tore into host Chris Wallace for what she considered to be an “inappropriate” question about her marriage, asking the Fox host: “What are you, Oprah now?”

No Boundaries

Conway is used to fielding questions from the media about her marriage. After all, she works in the Trump administration while her husband, attorney George Conway, is an outspoken critic of the president.

But on Sunday evening, Wallace crossed the line.

After bringing up some of Mr. Conway’s anti-Trump tweets — along with the president’s not-so-kind response wherein he called his top adviser’s husband a “total loser” — Wallace asked Conway a question that clearly struck a nerve: “Bottom line, final question: Has this hurt your marriage?”

Conway let Wallace have it.

“What are you, Oprah now? What, am I on a couch and you are a psychiatrist?” she asked before calling the question inappropriate. “That’s the line over which nobody should have crossed.”

She went on: “If you want to talk about policy issues, policy disagreements, the fact that George Conway, my husband, would prefer that I not work in the White House, I guess you can ask those questions. The president has weighed in, I’ve weighed in as modestly as I can. But now you’re asking a very personal question and I would say to you, you should go ask it of many people. Because I see messy lives living in glass houses all over both cities in which I live.”

Wallace Gets Scolded

And Conway wasn’t done yet. After Wallace explained that he asked the question because “it is what people are talking about, particularly after Trump called George Conway a “husband from hell,” Conway reiterated that the question still shouldn’t be on anyone’s mind.

“I’m surprised that people would ask that question,” Conway lamented. “I have seen homewreckers on TV as marital experts all of a sudden. It’s very amusing to me but I think people knew they crossed the line when they’re talking about people’s marriages.”

Take a look at the full exchange:

Conway wrapped up her talk with Wallace with a call for some privacy.

“My family has a right to their private life also,” she said. “I have children who are 14, 14, 11 and 9. And the reason it gets so much coverage, particularly by the mainstream media, is because George Conway now agrees with them.”

For his part, Wallace signed off with an apology.

“As I said, I’m not comfortable asking it, it is what people are talking about,” he said. “If I offended you, I’m sorry.”
