As expected, Donald Trump announced that the United States would no longer commit to the Paris climate accord. The reaction was split down party lines, with Presidential Counsel Kellyanne Conway quick to celebrate.
Conway on Trump
It's been just under a year since Kellyanne Conway joined Donald Trump and she's been loyal ever since. It started after Trump locked up the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention last summer, and his then campaign manager Paul Manafort was forced to resign for having financial ties to Russia. In his place, Trump brought Conway on the board as she helped lead the former host of "The Apprentice" to an upset general election win over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
While many on the right have been fond of Conway, she often found herself engaged in heated arguments with various cable news hosts. Since the election, Conway has been under fire after her now infamous use of the terms "alternative facts" and the "Bowling Green Massacre." As the pressure continues to mount on Trump and his entire team, the criticism continued on Wednesday after the president removed the U.S. from the Paris climate accord. As seen on her Twitter account on June 1, Conway praised Trump over his decision.

Twitter reacts
Not long after Kellyanne Conway sent out her tweet of praise to Donald Trump, she was hit with instant backlash from angry critics on social media.

She doesn't. She is a soul sucking vampire. She has a coffin in the WH basement she crawls in when the sun comes up.

"Falling behind on clean energy innovation and job creation is putting China and the EU first, not America," another Twitter user wrote.
"You bet: Alienate allies, perpetuate myths, put money before the health of future generations. CHECK! How do you sleep at night???" an additional tweet read.
You forgot lies, racism, sexism, disrespect for USA and Americans and being an illiterate toddler.
