Kellyanne Conway confirms she has COVID-19 after daughter posts on TikTok
Kellyanne Conway announced Friday night that she had tested positive for COVID-19.
Conway, a counselor to President Trump, said on Twitter that she tested positive Friday night. She said she had a light cough and described her symptoms as mild. “I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians,” Conway said. “As always, my heart is with everyone affected by this global pandemic.”
She was seen mask-less at an event on Saturday for the announcement of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
So far, five others have tested positive who attended that event: Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and the Rev. John I. Jenkins, president of the University of Notre Dame.
Her daughter, Claudia Conway, posted a video on TikTok before the White House official announced she tested positive. The teen captioned the video with: “update my mom has covid.”
Claudia Conway also noted that she's "furious" at the president: "[W]ear your masks .... protect yourselves and those around you."
