Kellyanne Conway faced ridicule online after a recent dig at Kamala Harris actually contained quite a few positive attributes.
Conway, who served as Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and then as an adviser in his Republican presidential administration, criticized Harris and her record as vice president during a Tuesday appearance on the Fox News show “Hannity.”
The former Trump adviser said that Harris needs to “eat and own all of the failings and flailings” of President Joe Biden’s administration, but that her supporters are instead painting a picture of the Democratic presidential nominee as “whatever they need her to be.”
“Our fears are real that, left to her own devices, Kamala Harris is just one big old blind date. And everybody’s making her whatever they need her to be,” Conway said.
“She’s so good-looking, she’s so smart, she’s so wealthy, she’s so funny, she’s close to her mom, she goes on really cool vacations, she’ll never break your heart,” she added mockingly.

Conway spent much of her appearance on “Hannity” slamming the Biden-Harris administration for its record, including the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act into law.
But a clip of her scoffingly firing off a list of compliments about Harris delighted a lot of social media users, who said Conway unintentionally appeared as if she admired the vice president.
“I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message,” joked Jon Favreau, a podcast host and former White House speechwriter under Barack Obama.
“Kellyanne is a fan!” another person wrote.
Conway may not have intended to praise Harris, but she’s also indicated that it’s not a good idea to attack her with personal insults either.
During a Monday appearance on the Fox Business show “Kudlow,” Conway suggested that Trump criticizing Harris in such a way isn’t a “winning formula” as he seeks to retake the White House.
“The winning formula for President Trump is very plain to see,” she said on Fox Business. “It’s fewer insults, more insights and that policy contrast.”
