Claudia told me that she wants to use her platform to help educate young people on social justice issues, in part because her family has dismissed her political opinions because of her age.
"I'm a teenager with valid views," she said.
I asked Claudia if she thinks any of her views and conversations with Kellyanne Conway have changed her mother's mind on any issues. She said no, but that she's influenced her on the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
"I honestly think that she is pro-Black Lives Matter because of me."
Claudia educated herself, she says: "Growing up in a family where you're really only exposed to one side and your mom is a public figure working for some of the biggest Republican politicians in the nation, you know, 12-year-old me was wondering, 'Why? Why is my mom doing this?'"
"My dad is pretty supportive of it, you know, my mom, she's always taught me to stand up for what I believe in," Claudia said about her parents' views on her TikTok videos. Kellyanne asked her to take down some of the content, but she declined.
Claudia's videos were flooded with views after this Twitter thread last night: https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/1277787991549841412?s=20
PS her twitter account @claudiamconwayy is the real one and it was just made public after another account mistaken for hers gained thousands of followers
