She went on to ask people to stop "stanning" her father, George Conway, who was a co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln project. "As for my dad, politically, we agree on absolutely nothing," Claudia wrote. "We just both happen to have common sense when it comes to our current president. Stop 'stanning' him."

Following the series of tweets, Kellyanne Conway said that she is resigning from her post as an advisor to President Trump. 

"The past four years have allowed me blessings beyond compare," she said. "[George and I] disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids. Our four children are teens and tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months. As millions of parents nationwide know, kids 'doing school from home' requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times."

George Conway also announced that he would be steeping down from his role in the Lincoln Project.
