Washington (CNN)George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, escalated his criticism of President Donald Trump on Tuesday by using a tweet from his wife to assail her boss over the continuing fallout from the House impeachment inquiry.

After Kellyanne Conway tweeted that former Vice President Joe Biden is "Creepy" and asked, "We need Ukraine's help to defeat THIS guy?" George Conway quoted her post with a terse response: "Your boss apparently thought so."

The tweet by the conservative lawyer is notable in that it is a direct response to Kellyanne Conway. Despite his wife's role in the Trump administration, George Conway has previously said that Trump is "guilty" of being unfit for office, called for Congress to remove the "cancer" of Trump from the presidency and questioned the President's mental health. George Conway's frequent public criticism of his wife's boss has often put their marriage in the spotlight in recent years, including a Washington Post feature story on the couple.

More recently, George Conway wrote in a Washington Post op-ed in July that Trump was "a racist president." Trump in return has called George Conway a "wack job," a "stone cold LOSER" and a "husband from hell" who is jealous of his wife's success.
