George Conway and Trump Jr. trade personal insults during impeachment hearing

Conservative commentator George Conway and Donald Trump Jr. squared off via Twitter during Marie Yovanovitch’s public impeachment hearing Friday.

Trump Jr., son of President Trump, was unimpressed with the witnesses, tweeting: “America hired @realDonaldTrump to fire people like the first three witnesses we’ve seen. Career government bureaucrats and nothing more.”

Conway, husband of White House advisor Kellyanne Conway and vocal critic of Trump, replied to Trump Jr., tweeting: “Each of Taylor, Kent, and Yovanovitch has more intelligence, talent, integrity, decency, honor, and patriotism in each of their fingers than you and your father will ever have.”

Trump Jr. shot back: “A guy who routinely & publicly embarrasses his wife by attacking her boss for the purpose of getting retweets and building his own brand is giving lectures on honor, integrity & decency. I’m sure your family really appreciates it, George. You’re a disgrace.”
