Since early Friday morning, when President Donald Trump announced that he tested positive for coronavirus, the American people have been confused about the truth of Trump’s condition, hearing contradicting reports from the White House and Trump’s doctors. Yesterday, Twitter users discovered a spy on the inside: Claudia Conway, the 15-year-old daughter of former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway.
The teen wrote on TikTok, “guys lmao he’s not doing ‘better'” and “he is so ridiculous. apparently he is doing badly lol and they are doing what they can to stabilize him.”
Claudia also broke the news last week of her mother’s positive coronavirus test result, which she later said Kellyanne hid from her. Claudia and her father George both contracted the virus from Kellyanne soon after.
Additional clips on the teen’s TikTok show her mother yelling and cursing at Claudia, and trying to dictate what she should post to TikTok, such as a clarification of the family’s coronavirus testing timeline.
Following the drama and Twitter buzz caused by her daughter’s posts, Kellyanne took to Twitter herself, writing, “Like all of you, [Claudia] speculates on social media. Yet she’s 15. You are adults. We have COVID, but it’s clear who’s really sick.” Many Twitter users did not care for Kellyanne’s words.
For context, Claudia had tweeted in August that she would be “officially pushing for emancipation” because of “years of childhood trauma and abuse.” She elaborated later on TikTok, stating about her mom, “She’s very, very physically abusive. Very, very verbally abusive. I’ve been belittled and badgered my entire life.” This was also not the first time Claudia made such allegations. She has also spoken out about her parents “silencing” her on social media and deleting posts.
As a result of the past accusations from Claudia, Twitter did not take too kindly to Kellyanne’s tweet. People called out her negligent behavior after testing positive for coronavirus and the video of her cursing at her daughter. Director Judd Apatow wrote, “You are a monster who has contributed to the lies which murdered hundreds of thousands of people. Claudia is a bright light of truth who has the courage to call out the lies you have sold your soul to sell. I wish her the best life. She is already doing great things.”
Many users shared sentiments similar to Apatow, calling Claudia brave and seeing her as a whistleblower. More tweets acknowledged the bizarreness of the situation, such as one stating, “We’re really at the point in history where the most reliable source on the health of the president is a teenager on TikTok, aren’t we?”
