Wow. One of the few who has been there from the start. Kellyanne Conway cited family reasons for WH departure and told WaPo: “This is completely my choice and my voice. In time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama.” https://t.co/h6Payv3LZC

Her husband, George, will be leaving the Lincoln Project as well:
So I’m withdrawing from @ProjectLincoln to devote more time to family matters. And I’ll be taking a Twitter hiatus.
Needless to say, I continue to support the Lincoln Project and its mission. Passionately.

Now, let’s please give this family the space it needs, ‘eh?
