Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has threatened war against Kellyanne Conway and other Republicans who he says have been working against former President Donald Trump behind the scenes.
The allegations against Conway are that she has been spreading negative stories about Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, because she thinks he is a bad vice presidential candidate.
He is also believed to be behind media claims that Trump regrets picking Vance and has had a “meltdown” over his choice for vice president.
She, for her part, has denied these accusations:

But apparently, Bongino doesn't believe her.
“There's a lot of internal sabotage going on right now that I honestly didn't want to highlight because I like to stay focused on the Democrats and I was hoping it would go away,” he began on his radio show Wednesday. “It isn't.”
He went on to suggest that critics like Conway are upset with Vance's position on Ukraine, which is that the United States should be more cautious and hesitant with all the aid it has been doling out.
“I strongly suspect it was a leak from people who wanted another vice presidential candidate,” he said, pointing the finger at the “Kellyanne Conway camp.”
“Some of the other candidates were very interested in a more muscular stance in Ukraine, where there was a lot of money to be made for a lot of people. JD Vance is interested in a more cautious approach to Ukraine,” he added.
Bongino then dropped the hammer.
“Instead of keeping quiet and trying to win now with this big ticket, there are people sabotaging the ticket right now,” he said. “I'll tell Kellyanne and others: It's time to get off. You've been warned. I've had enough.”

The allegations against Conway come after it was recently reported that he registered as a Ukrainian foreign agent after landing a $50,000-a-month contract with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
As a consultant, Conway was expected, in part, to “engage US lawmakers and pundits and opinion-makers to explain Ukraine's importance to the rules-based order and the protection of democratic principles.”
Combined, this contract plus leaks doesn't look good. And so it's no surprise that many conservative listeners think Bongino is on to something and have been letting Conway know on Twitter/X how they feel about the whole thing.
Look:
@KellyannePolls he sold his country for Victor Pinchuk's 50,000 a month to sabotage the Trump/Vance ticket.

Shame on you Kelleyanne for selling yourself out for 50k a month to trash JD Vance. I never thought you would sell the Trump ticket.

@KellyannePolls you exposed yourself Trump doesn't hate JD Vance, you're just mad that the current Republican ticket is drying up the Ukraine money-making scheme. Find a real piece of junk at work

Speaking to The Bulwark earlier, Conway claimed that he hasn't been calling people trash talkers, Vance, but others have been calling him a trash talker.
“When it comes to concerned people questioning the vetting or selection of JD Vance, the calls are coming in, not going out,” he said. “I don't call them and tell them this is bad. People are asking me. They're not just asking me. They're asking a lot of people.”
“I'm not anti-Vance. I was pro-Rubio,” he added.
But on the other hand, The Bulwark admitted that a friend of the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., argued that the attacks were “100 percent Kellyanne.”
“He's angry about it. He knows it's her,” the source added, while a family member was on the record suggesting that “the family in general thinks very well” of Conway.
