For Claudia Conway, daughter of senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, maturing in the midst of controversy hasn’t been easy. “Growing up in a family where you’re really only exposed to one side and your mom is a public figure working for some of the biggest Republican politicians in the nation, you know, 12-year-old me was wondering, ‘Why? Why is my mom doing this?'” Claudia told USA Today. “‘What does she believe in? Why does she believe this and why does she fight for this so much?’ And so I started reading.”
“Growing up when your mom is Kellyanne Conway, it’s really really hard to disassociate yourself with that image because people look at me and are like ‘oh, that’s Kellyanne Conway’s daughter,’ she must love Trump. In reality, I really don’t,” she said, per Insider. In fact, Claudia noted that her views and those of her infamous mother “could not be more opposite.”
But that doesn’t mean she harbors any negative feelings toward her conservative parents. “Believe it or not, you can have your own opinions not influenced by your parents at all simply by educating yourself! My views don’t have anything to do with my mom’s,” Claudia told her TikTok followers (per the New York Post). “[B]ut just please no hate to my mom or my dad, they’re both amazing people and I love them so much.”
