George Conway was quick to squash a story being spread by former Apprentice contestant and ex-White House adviser, Omarosa, who claims in her new book that President Trump used racial epithets in addressing him.
Conway, who is the husband to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, has somewhat differing political views and is certainly not a straight-line fan of the President.
He has been critical of Trump on social media, calling some of his behavior “absurd” and more recently defended Robert Mueller’s Constitutional authority in the Russia investigation.
Conway also expressed criticism of Trump’s travel ban.
These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won’t help OSG get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad. https://t.co/zVhcyfm8Hr

As such, Conway doesn’t mince words when it comes to expressing his opinion on something, especially when it comes to critiquing the President.
What he also doesn’t tolerate is when somebody allegedly makes up a story on his behalf.
In her book, Omarosa writes that Trump referred to Conway in derogatory terms when discussing a column he had penned.
“Would you look at this George Conway article?” she suggests the President said. “F***ing FLIP! Disloyal! F***ing Goo-goo.”
Both flip and goo-goo are slurs in the Filipino community.
Conway, however, said the entire aspect of the story involving him is “absurd,” “ridiculous,” and “not credible.”
The allegation is not credible, and indeed is ridiculous, particularly in light of the timing of her departure from the White House—December 12, 2017. It’s absurd all around.

Reuters columnist Alison Frankel followed up his tweet by suggesting it might have occurred during the time he criticized the President over his travel ban.
“CNN, WaPo, and others published articles in June 2017 about your tweets criticizing the travel ban. Is it possible Omarosa heard Trump reacting to one of those articles?” Frankel asked. “She was still in the White House in June 2017.”
Conway suggested there was no chance and called Omarosa’s claims “preposterous.”
No. There was one tweet, it didn’t criticize the travel ban, and it was clear at the time from my and others’ personal interactions with him that he didn’t hold it against me—not one bit. From what I saw and heard, any suggestion he would have used such slurs is preposterous.

Omarosa also claimed that President Trump has used the n-word and there are tapes of him uttering the reprehensible term.
These claims are highly suspicious considering the source. Omarosa’s credibility is already suspect, and her book feels like a cheap effort to capitalize on her role in the White House while exacting revenge against the administration after her firing last December.
Our colleague Jim E writes, “we know that Omarosa has a vendetta against Trump since she was unceremoniously let go from her role at the White House for abusing her authority.”
Of course, she does.
Is she telling the truth? If there are tapes, there are tapes, and that will certainly change the dynamic behind her claims. But you’d think she would have them already prior to making these allegations and that they’d be out there as a means to boost her book and the claims lying within.
Until then, it’s difficult to take her book seriously.
Omarosa is following the footsteps of Daniel Storm. She wants a piece of action for money. Shame, she given a chance to work in the WH but she has no work ethics.
MrsFPosting: What is Kellyanne doing with George for a husband? Sounds like she might be a little conflicted in her job supporting Trump. What is said sitting around the dinner table? She seems to be handling it but doesn’t sound like the best arrangement for a Trump supporter. Omarosa is a liar and just wants to sell her book. She is a liberal and lying is there first “go to” choice in any situation.
I never heard those terms before. Doesn’t sound like Trump. He prefers words such as fat, stupid, and ugly.
“Omarosa” Doesn’t that mean full of crap in some foreign language?
Come on,,, PLEASE quit wasting my time with stories like this!
Maybe it is Omarosa’s racism on display? Making such claims is immoral and you shouldn’t assume she has integrity if she blatantly lies about something as important as racism to sell a book. :-(
we need to get back to the Webster Dictionary and speak ENGLISH…..all these racial spews that come from alien words that are not in anyone’s vocabulary should just get laughs….not criticism…This is one of the greatest disappointments in our history….people don’t speak proper English, instead, they spew words of hate, prejudice and violence….and they’re words not even found in the dictionary. Our kids, today, can’t read, they can’t write, they can’t do math….WTH are they going to school for….glorified babysitters that are filling their heads with thoughts that its ok to live off other people; ok to let others suffer because you’re “entitled”;
It Trump used that term to describe omarosa, then it fits. She is too two faced to reach the level of civility of a black person.
Getting called a Flip or a Goo-Goo is nothing compared to the language Radical American’t’s throw at my President on a daily basis. Oh, the Left is real handy called us the Deplorables, Red golf balls with swastikas, Nazi’s, white supremacist (KKK invented by Democrats) and Uncle Tom’s to our Black Conservatives. These illiterate goons need to read up on Nazi’s who would have dragged them out of their homes, thrown up against the wall and shot as partisan’s. Trump Supporters don’t do that but usually are dodging bricks, water bottles or getting clubbed in the head with a bicycle locks and the slinger gets a slap on the wrist. One day, the Radical Left will impose their April 12, 1861 action.
Just a disgruntled employee who was fired multiple times. She was given too many chances to begin with. If the President was truly racist, why on earth would he even had given her the time of day? The N word starts at home. The black community has to STOP using it as well if they want it to be considered a racists term or they become bigoted and therefore become the TRUE racists who use words to play the race card game. To be honest, EVERYONE is racist. know one completely agrees with any other race when it comes to their believes and the way they live their lives. People pretend and put on fake faces all in the event to make it look like they are not racist.
And if Trump did use those ‘expressions’ based on Conway’s record of anti-Trumpism, it would be justified. There’s no law against using any word.
