Kellyanne Conway was heard last week castigating Meghan McCain and reportedly taking her to task for past comments about her marriage, according to the Daily Beast.
After appearing on the same panel last Thursday at The Washington Post’s post-election Global Women’s Summit, Conway confronted McCain, one-time host of “The View.”
According to onlookers, Donald Trump insider Conway left McCain shocked after he was berated for calling Conway’s marriage to George Conway “gross” during a slew of years-old television appearances.
As one witness told the Daily Beast, “Kellyanne walked up to Meghan and said, ‘I wasn’t going to say this while I was on the microphone, but remember what you said about me and my marriage on ‘The View’? You called my marriage ‘gross.’
“Meghan looked shocked and was just trying to get away,” the Observer later added.
Both Republican insiders acknowledged the meeting in statements to the Daily Beast.
Conway explained how she “waited until the cameras and microphones were off to privately and calmly address the very public insults against my family.”
McCain gushed about the idea of Conway’s marriage during a 2020 appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” and on “The View.”

Continuing the offensive, she went on to say that McCain “might want to avoid her recent past as the longtime resident Mean Girl on ‘The View’ and Bravo, where her mouth was a spout of vile and bile hurled at people and topics she doesn’t know,” namely Conway’s marriage and children.
For her part, McCain told the Daily Beast: “It was a bizarre experience and certainly not what I expected when I accepted an invitation to speak at an event hosted by The Washington Post and Tina Brown.”
“The only reason their marriage was ever a hot topic was because they were constantly airing their dirty laundry to America,” she continued.
McCain was referring to Conway’s previous public clashes with both her daughter Claudia Conway and her ex-husband, never-Trump conservative George Conway.
While the couple announced they were divorcing in the spring of 2023, Claudia Conway and her mother made amends after tensions between the two peaked around the 2020 election.
The mother-daughter duo opened up about being on opposite ends of the political spectrum during a September episode of Fox Nation’s “Here’s The Deal with Kellyanne Conway.”
“I can look at you and love you even if you have different political views than I do,” Claudia Conway told her mother. “And ultimately we can be people too. The divisions and lack of unity in our political atmosphere right now will drive us further apart.”
