President Donald Trump might have finally found something he and frequent critic and Lincoln Project founder George Conway have common ground on: conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
Both Trump on Saturday at the nomination ceremony and Conway on Twitter used the phrase "eminently qualified" in talking about Barrett's credentials for the Supreme Court.
Conway responded to a tweet asking: "Is it possible some GOP senators will vote *against* confirming her because they feel she is not qualified?"
Conway tweeted:
"No. Not a chance. She is eminently qualified to serve on the Supreme Court."
The agreement with President Trump appears to be limited to Judge Barrett, though.
Conway has professed to be a conservative, but he started the Lincoln Project, which is serving to fund Democrat opponents in key Senate races against Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.
Conway also issued a rejection of the GOP-held Senate's actions regarding the Supreme Court, tweeting "correct" to a four-pronged tweet from another Trump critic, declaring:
"Four thoughts, not mutually exclusive:
1/Garland should have received a vote
2/Coney Barrett = qualified nominee
3/Senate should* wait for hearing & vote until election result complete
4/Trump is unfit, incompetent & corrupt & as a result 200K+ Americans are dead in 6 months**"
