About
#CatsJudgingKellyanne is a Twitter hashtag that was started in December 2016 after Special Counselor to the United States President Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway stated that many of her critics on social media have cats as their profile pictures. The hashtag is typically used by posting a picture of a cat that has a judgemental look and a negative statement about Conway. The hashtag was revived in April 2020 after Conway made a false statement about Covid-19.
Origin
On December 16th, 2020, Fox News[1] reported Kellyanne Conway saying “A lot of them who have attacked me are either childless interns born in the 1990s…or I noticed women who have cats as their Twitter pictures, so I’m not going to really just lose my mind over people attacking me in a 140 characters, I can assure you that." That day, Twitter user and social media cat personality @BitchestheCat[2][3] tweeted, "Since cat pictures bother @KellyannePolls so much, let's start the #catsjudgingkellyanne hashtag and tag her on all your cat pictures" (shown below). The tweet gained over 660 likes in four years.
