If you were anywhere near Twitter yesterday, you surely heard the news that presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway and her husband, co-found of the anti-Trump Republican organization The Lincoln Project, both resigned from their jobs over the weekend.

And now one was more surprised to hear about it than their daughter Claudia, who found out the same way we did: by reading a tweet about it.


After Kellyanne Conway's tweet announcing her resignation surfaced yesterday, Claudia took to TikTok to share her shock.

In a comment on her TikTok video, Claudia shared that her mother's tweet was the first she'd heard about the changes coming to her family.

"They didn't even talk about it with any of us …just tweeted about it as if this is going to change anything and make me not emancipate myself."

It is that move toward emancipation that Conway, and many others in the media and online, believe spurred Kellyanne and George Conways' resignations.

Conway announced her push toward emancipation on Saturday, and said in a TikTok video that she has been in talks with lawyers offering to represent her pro bono.

The emancipation and resignation issues come on the heels of a flurry of attention that Claudia's TikTok and Twitter accounts have drawn in recent weeks, first for her outspoken rants against her mother's boss, President Trump, and more recently due to allegations she has made of abuse and neglect at the hands of both of her parents.

Conway has also specifically cited her mother's position in the White House as being detrimental to her well-being.

In her statement announcing her resignation, however, Kellyanne Conway took a far more general tack in explaining her departure, chalking it up to her children attending school remotely due to the pandemic.

"As millions of parents nationwide know, kids 'doing school from home' requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times"

On Twitter, most people seemed to be firmly on Team Claudia.







Many others found the media scrutiny of a 15-year-old inappropriate.




And some wondered if this whole thing wasn't just another Kellyanne Conway stunt.


Kellyanne and George Conway will both leave their respective positions at the end of August.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has been making a name for herself by being the most vulgar and vile anti-trans person in Congress. She's screamed transphobic slurs in official committee meetings and attacked anyone who opposes her bigotry.

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.
