George Conway rips Bill O’Reilly for attacking anti-Trump PAC

0

An on-air tirade unleashed by conservative host Bill O’Reilly Friday night was brushed away by Donald Trump critic George Conway as “a tremendous honor” in a social media post mocking the former Fox News commentator’s disdain for the political action committee he created.

“I’m not the bragging type, but I must admit I consider this a tremendous honor,” Conway, a conservative attorney and founder of The Anti-Psychopath PAC, said on X shortly after O’Reilly delivered a stinging rebuke of one of the ads funding by the PAC.

“It was paid for by a man named George Conway, used to be married to Kellyanne Conway,” O’Reilly told viewers on his show on the conservative opinion network The First. “In my opinion, he is a despicable human being this guy. He hates Trump, but not only that, he wants to destroy anyone with whom he disagrees.”

While he refused to play the ad on his show because according to O’Reilly – “that’s how revolting that thing is” – he claimed he was shocked that stations like Fox News, ESPN, Newsmax and Lifetime all ran the ad paid for by Conway’s political action committee.

All the money that Conway raises from the “revolting political ad,” O’Reilly reminded his viewers, goes “totally to destroying Donald Trump and his family.”

“Why would you run that ad? Everybody knows its defamatory. Why? Shocking. It’s blood money," O'Reilly said.

Soon after, Conway took to X in a post, making light of being the target of O’Reilly’s scorn.

“I wish to thank Bill, as well as my team,” Conway wrote. “And all of you who contributed to the PAC, for making this honor possible. I hope to live up to it by producing more such ads in the very near future.”

"Aww, poor Bill sounds like he is going to cry," added Washington D.C. attorney Bradley P. Moss.

Conway earlier this week told MSNBC that the new political ad campaign that hit the airwaves was needed “to really bring home to people” that Trump is “a very, very sick and dangerous man.”
