Trump Advisor’s Ex-Husband Pulled Over and Cried Before Writing Biden a Check for Nearly a Million Dollars

The NeverTrump organization the Lincoln Project raised millions to destroy Donald Trump.

Now the man who led the charge, George Conway, who happens to be the ex-husband of trusted former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, is crying about it on a podcast.

George Conway just told the world exactly what his hatred of Trump cost him – and it may not just have been the million dollars.

Lincoln Project Co-Founder Pulled $929,600 From His Kids' Inheritance and Gave It to the Biden Victory Fund

Conway didn't just donate to Joe Biden. He donated the legal maximum – $929,600 – and became the headline spokesperson for a fundraising effort asking other wealthy anti-Trump donors to follow his lead.

He now admits he pulled over to the side of the road and wept before writing that check.

"I literally was in tears," Conway said on a recent podcast. "I pulled over to the side of the road and I was in tears thinking about this."

His justification? His children's inheritance. Conway said he told himself he wanted to leave his kids "a democracy," not money – so he handed nearly a million dollars to a candidate who, three months later, couldn't remember what office he was running for and quit the race entirely.

Biden dropped out on July 21, 2024. Kamala Harris took his place. Harris lost to Donald Trump in a landslide.

Conway's $929,600 is gone.

The Same George Conway Who Diagnosed Trump on Morning Joe Is Now Running for Congress in New York

This is the same George Conway who showed up on Morning Joe with actual props – laminated charts diagnosing Trump as a narcissist and sociopath – in a live television appearance that has aged about as well as the Biden campaign itself.

"He's a narcissist," Conway told the Morning Joe hosts, holding up his chart with DSM-5 criteria. "That's the reason why he spoke for several hours last night. It's because he's full of himself."

Trump won 312 electoral votes. Harris won 226. Conway won nothing.

Now Conway is running for Congress – in Manhattan, representing a district he didn't live in until recently. He moved from Bethesda, Maryland to Chelsea to establish residency for a race to replace the retiring Jerry Nadler. He's running as a Democrat in a crowded primary that includes Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, and a half-dozen other candidates.

The man who spent years calling Trump a criminal is now asking Manhattan voters to send him to Washington to fight the president he already spent nearly a million dollars trying to stop.

This Is What Trump Derangement Looks Like With a Price Tag

Conway isn't unique. Democrats and their anti-Trump allies raised over a billion dollars for Kamala Harris – a candidate who ran one of the most expensive losing campaigns in American political history. The Harris campaign reportedly ended up $20 million in debt, having spent millions on Oprah's production company, private jets, and $500,000 to Al Sharpton's organization for a friendly interview.

Conway donated to Biden specifically, as the headline spokesperson for a push to get other big donors to join him. Biden quit. The money transferred to Harris. Harris lost.

Conway pulled over on the side of a Maryland highway and cried about giving away his children's inheritance to a campaign that collapsed before Election Day.

He said he's "misty-eyed even today."

Good. He should be.

The voters who built this country, raised their families, and watched the Democratic Party spend a decade trying to destroy Donald Trump didn't get a refund when their candidate quit. Conway didn't either. The difference is that Conway chose to hand nearly a million dollars to the machine – and then went on a podcast to make sure everyone knew how much it hurt.

That's not democracy. That's a cautionary tale about what happens when hatred of one man consumes your judgment, your wallet, and apparently your ability to drive without pulling over to cry.

Trump is in the White House. Conway is running for a congressional seat in a city he just moved to, asking strangers to vote for him based on his ability to lose expensively.

The tears were real. The results were predictable.
