If this is the season of grifting, then it is beginning to look a lot like Griftmas! Kellyanne Conway has sealed a multimillion-dollar book deal for her “unvarnished, eye-popping” memoir. A source inside the White House admitted ” she’s got some of us quaking in our boots.”

The George and Kellyanne Conway Show

Kellyanne Conway was once the President’s closest advisor, who abruptly stepped down from her position on the eve of the Republican National Convention in August. Her husband George Conway is one of the founding members of the Lincoln Project, the super political action committee behind some of the most vehemently anti-Trump ads made during the election campaign. Her daughter Claudia is also a fierce Trump critic.

Imagine the Conways Thanksgiving supper!

George Conway’s wife, @KellyannePolls , signed a million dollar book deal today, and he hasn’t mentioned it even once on Twitter (despite his tweeting over 100 times today).
Both of the Conways are grifters, I vacillate between which one is the greater. @CheriJacobus pic.twitter.com/uV2EM6pnGl

I was running out of toilet paper, but this is an option.

🙋‍♀️I volunteer to buy, read & regurgitate it for anyone interested in what she has to say. My payment for this horrific work is YOUR promise not to buy her book.

She does NOT deserve another penny for aiding & abetting the man who tries to destroy our country every. single. day.

Grifters be grifting

The Trump era has proved a boon for the publishing industry, with around 1,200 books written by former White House employees under the administration. Tell-tale memoirs from John Bolton, former FBI director James Comey, and the President’s niece Mary L. Trump have garnered millions of dollars in deals.

Kellyanne Conway’s is said to be the most lucrative deal yet, and there are rumors the ‘True First Lady of Trump’s America’ could garner tens of millions more in movie rights down the line.

Im worrying about how much holiday groceries are going to cost and Conway gets a multi-million dollar book deal. I guess crime does pay. Honesty and competence sure doesn’t seem to.

I hate that these people make money off of being horrible people.

Twitter had lots of suggestions for the title…

The publishing company can simply head to Twitter for their cover design.

Perfect Title for #KellyanneConway's book:
"Tales From The Crypt"

Yet another alibi-ography

As one user pointed out, the veracity of the book’s content could be affected by an NDA. While others urged against buying the book and enabling the profiteering.

Like she doesn’t have an NDA that eliminates any chance of it being truthful.

They only make money if we buy the book. Just don’t buy the book.

— Helen (@haj4457) December 8, 2020

Oh they have every right to publish these alibi-ographies, and to pay whatever amount they see fit. Just as I have a right to have a problem with that, and factor it into my spending.
Still, to me it’s morally reprehensible to give them a platform to lie.

These memoirs make great kindling

Many applauded the news of Kellyanne Conway’s upcoming memoir, which will make “good kindling” or toilet paper.

And years from now, we will find a warehouse full of these books, purchased by the GOP. Along side this, will be pallets of Don Jr’s loser book, and the Kayleigh memoirs will be there too!
It will make good kindling.

Only way I would buy this book is if I had to burn it for a fire to stay alive.

— WTF America?!? 🌊🌊 (@saveusfromGOP) December 8, 2020

I'll buy @KellyannePolls book, when there's another toilet paper shortage. https://t.co/h8zDH1AMrv

— Brian (@BrianGrNotABot) December 8, 2020

Her previous books appear to have been similarly useful…

Discussing potential toilet paper shortage:

Me: I have a Kellyanne Conway book you can borrow.

My sister: No, I don’t want her words to touch my butt.

Twitter has added Kellyanne Conway’s new memoir to the “Not to Read” book list.

(PS2) Keep in mind that Conway is the same vile snake who publicly sneered that Trump’s niece didn’t have the right to write about her uncle—that their relationship shouldn’t be spoken of in public. But now Conway can write of her conversations with Trump? https://t.co/e61t2VlafF

— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) December 8, 2020

When Kellyanne Conway finishes writing her book, she’ll have millions of dollars and some good kindling. But some of us on this website will still have our souls. And because she and her side lost, we’ll have a republic.
