Claudia Conway on Hunter Biden, Alternative Facts, and Project 2025

Claudia Conway is possibly the world’s most lit nepo baby. Before turning 20, she’d gained a million TikTok followers by eviscerating her famous parents’ careers instead of profiting off their connections. The daughter of Kellyanne, who steered Donald Trump’s campaign to victory in 2016 and coined the term “alternative facts,” and George, who battled Bill Clinton on behalf of Paula Jones before his conversion into a never-Trump Republican, Conway spent the pandemic live-streaming her antipathy for the president and fundraising for BLM while her mom recovered from COVID in the next room. Four years later, the college freshmen has endorsed Kamala Harris and declared herself queer, emerging as something of a political influencer (with a recent profile in the Styles section of The New York Times to boot). In anticipation of November 5th, we asked her to take part in this week’s Rorschach Test and share her thoughts on threesomes, Laura Loomer, and undecided voters.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

“I think we’ve got to reevaluate the Electoral College, to be honest with you. I don’t see how it’s 100% fair.”

———

LAURA LOOMER

“She is one of the most heinous people I’ve ever encountered. I actually haven’t met her, but if I did I’d have to bleach my eyes and my body.”

———

FORSAKING YOUR PARENTS

“If it’s warranted, it could be a slay, but it could also not be a slay. It depends on how you do it. I did it in a not-slay way.”

———

FOX NEWS

“Not a slay. I can’t watch Fox News with a straight face.”

———

NEW JERSEY

“Everybody shits on New Jersey, and I get it. But I’ll always be a Jersey girl, and I’ll probably die in Jersey.”

———

TAYLOR SWIFT

“Slay for her endorsement. Not slay for how late it was. I’m a partial Swiftie, I guess.”

———

HUNTER BIDEN

“He did some things. I couldn’t tell you much about what he’s done, I just know about his laptop and Russia. But I did see people calling Hunter Biden’s laptop ‘Brat’ on the internet. Is it ‘Brat’? Maybe. I have no idea.”

———

ALTERNATIVE FACTS

“Definitely not a slay. Multiple things can be true at once, but facts are facts.”

———

TURNING 20

“I feel 35 and 15 at the same time. I really am such a grandma. My idea of a perfect night would be sitting in my bed watching Dancing with the Stars. But I’m also still such a child. I have nine days left of being a teen, so I’m going to hold onto that.”

———

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

“His priorities are not in check. I don’t know what’s going on in his head, but he’s hurting his own people. I talk to Israelis and Palestinians on the daily and everybody seems to hate him.”

———

HIGHER EDUCATION

“To be completely honest with you, I don’t know what I’m going to do with my degree, but I’m riding it out.”

———

FINSTAS

“They used to be cringe and weird, but they’re coming back now. I think I might make a Finsta.”

———

SLEEPING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

“Do what you got to do, girl. People like to say that to shit on women. Well, let’s talk about the men. Women can do whatever they want. I support women’s rights and wrongs.”

———

ELLA EMHOFF

“I follow her Instagram. I love her and think she’s really cool. She’s just the epitome of a Brooklyn girl.”

———

UNDECIDED VOTERS

“Y’all have got to make up your minds. I don’t know what to tell you.”

———

LANA DEL REY

 “I saw that she just married that alligator guy and people were mad about that. But I’ll always support Lana Del Rey in whatever she does.”

———

THREESOMES

“I’m definitely a monogamy girl. But that could be a slay, so go ahead.”

———

IPAD BABIES

“Absolutely not. When I have children, they won’t know what an iPad is.”

———

ELECTION POLLS

“Every week there’s a new poll: somebody’s up, somebody’s down, and it’s virtually a tied race. So I think we have to stop putting all of our trust into election polls and start actually listening to people.”

———

SEXYY RED

“She was saying some crazy stuff online, but I guess she’s a slay.”

———

PROJECT 2025

“Project 2025 and Laura Loomer might be tied for the most heinous things on this list. I did myself the disservice of trying to go through the pages of Project 2025 and I might have lost hundreds of thousands of brain cells doing it.”

———

CHILDLESS CAT LADIES

“An immediate slay.”

———

RFK Jr.

“The things he says are really nuts and everyone just lets him say it. From the bear in Central Park to the worm in his brain to the anti-vax stuff, I really think he just wants attention. I feel bad for him. He probably just wants a hug.”

———

AMERICAN IDOL

“This is my favorite fun fact about myself. I didn’t make it very far and it was a joke, but I’ll get to tell my kids that one day. And I met Katy Perry.”
