At just 18 years old, Claudia Conway, daughter of Kellyanne and George Conway, is turning into an admirable young adult. She’s been careful to widen the distance between her public image and her famous parents. It’s something she’s learned to do quite well but she does it with a bit of sympathy at the same time.
In a quick tweet, she discussed that distance and how well she understands herself and what she does vs. the reality of what her parents must have thought her life would really be like, Queerty [1] reports. Politically, Claudia’s politics are well beyond progressive and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, she more than likely has done some things her parents couldn’t possibly have predicted.
u have to cut my parents some slack guys. imagine being so excited to have a baby and then it growing up to be a lesbian liberal who subtweets ted cruz for fun

But she’s actually far enough to the left that she doesn’t consider herself a liberal.
wait nvm i wouldn’t even call myself a liberal

And lately, she’s been subtweeting one of the country’s worst Republicans. For those who don’t know, subtweeting is the art of tweeting something derogatory or inflammatory about someone without mentioning their name. Her audience fully approves.
I would be so proud to subtweet Ted Cruz myself, and also produce a whole ‘nother human out of my uterus that does the same. Like I’m subtweeting him with my whole human body, sometimes by proxy.

Omg, I do the same thing to Ted Cruz on Facebook. He just makes it so easy

Parents are just humans except for Ted Cruz 😉

Your parents love you, teen year skirmishes are typical, but I'm sure they want above all else for you to be healthy & happy. And I, a responsible adult, signed up for Twitter originally just so I could snark tweet Ted Cruz. He makes it so easy!

Ted Cruz is a jack ass who deserves all the hate. Republicans even hate his ass

Another tweet that has since been deleted, from @ShaunkIrwin noted:
“We can be different ages…..come from different backgrounds….have different political viewpoints…..but at LEAST we can all come together in our hatred of Ted Cruz!”
Yes, Ted Cruz is not a well-loved or well-respected individual, nor should he be.
Last week, however, Conway did take on Cruz by name, when she posted a poll on Twitter where she asked other users if they thought Cruz could beat the green M&M in a fight. The answer was a resounding NOPE.
who’s winning in a fight

This seems appropriate since Republicans, especially Fox News’s Tucker Carlson [10] have been yelling about M&M for the past couple of weeks. And as silly as the tweet may sound, it’s worth remembering [11] that Cruz fled Texas for Cancun when a devastating storm hit Texas and killed a whole bunch of his constituents just over a couple of years ago. Meaning this man really is a coward.
But if there’s one thing about Claudia Conway, it’s that she tries to keep things fun. She has an adorable pair of corgis that she dresses up in rainbow pride outfits, and they really are just the cutest!
