Top Trump Aide Conway to Bid Farewell in RNC Address Tonight
Kellyanne Conway is one of the most well-known believers in Washington, D.C., and her business, The Polling Company, has pioneered polling that has greatly helped the church understand and position itself to the new realities of a data-driven society. This has both assisted the church and positioned believers in a new and challenging culture hostile to the values of Christ. Having resigned her position as top Trump aide earlier this week to spend more time with her children, Conway will say her goodbyes tonight as she addresses the Republican National Convention, and her absence from the White House will leave a spiritual and tactical void.
Joining fellow female believers Laura Ingram, Barbara Olson, Ann Coulter and others who in the early 1990s began to stand up against an increasingly anti-Christian culture with a positive, biblically based and proudly Christian message, Conway was one of the young Christian women who helped change the media landscape, becoming commentators, authors and in her case, a data manager.
Beginning with her work for a series of Christian politicians including Jack Kemp, Fred Thompson, former Vice President Dan Quayle, current Vice President Mike Pence, Newt Gingrich and more, as a believer in an increasingly anti-Christian atmosphere, Conway initially supported Senator Ted Cruz for president in 2016. After he dropped out and because of a long-term relationship with the current president, Conway joined the Trump campaign in July 2016. On Aug. 29, 2016, barely three months before the election, she became the first female presidential campaign manager in history and single-handedly managed an election that had been positioned for a devastating defeat.
A visit to the White House will entail time with staff from computer operators to press staff to a large number of the day-to-day staff—many godly young men and women brought in by Conway to support the Christian atmosphere and other godly people in the White House, ushering in God’s blessings there.
The result of this woman of faith living out her love of the Lord Jesus Christ in the White House has been a nonstop onslaught—akin to the nearly 96% negative coverage of the administration in general—upon her every comment, her family life and finally, her children, which has crossed an unacceptable line.
“Yes, and all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12).
Bestselling author of God, Trump and COVID-19 Stephen Strang says, “Christians will be persecuted for their sincerely held beliefs as never before,” reflecting exactly what has happened to Conway. As one of the most godly women in Washington, D.C., she has been in the White House daily at the side of the president, not only helping with policy as her official role as counselor but being an encourager in faith.
Finally, though, the persecution and nonstop attacks proved too much, and sadly, the architect of the 2016 election, the consistent voice for the love of the Lord Jesus Christ in crafting and restoring America to the nation its founders intended, has been silenced for now other than this final farewell.
In the face of nonstop attack, based solely on her faith and love of the Lord Jesus Christ as well as her determination to restore America to its historic roots in faith, the great sadness was, with a few rare exceptions, the total failure of the church to come to her defense and that of other believers living out their faith in the face of a largely hostile media and culture.
Conway’s departure is a clarion call to the church, from individual believers to churches to Christian organizations, Christian media and others, to push back and defend those like her who, exposed to the hatred and attacks, cannot stand forever. Without the strong support of believers, it will all end in 69 days, and the godly men and women who manage, pray in and constantly wait upon the presence of Jesus in the “people’s house”—the White House—will be gone. {eoa}
