http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/320668-white-house-barring-kellyanne-conway-from-tv-after-speaking-offThe White House is barring counselor Kellyanne Conway from television appearances after the high-profile aide made multiple on-air statements contradicting the Trump administrations official stance, CNN reported Wednesday.
Conway, who was recently a regular fixture on TV news, hasnt appeared for an on-air interview since early last week. That Monday, she argued that then-national security adviser Michael Flynn had the full confidence of President Trump.
The senior Trump aides remarks about Flynn were not her first times causing trouble for the White House on air. Conway has been roiled with controversy in recent weeks. Once, after discussing a nonexistent terrorist attack in Bowling Green, Ky., and again after openly promoting Ivanka Trumps clothing line on Fox & Friends.
Nevertheless, Conways television absence is likely temporary.
They're letting the heat cool off, one source was quoted as saying.
This is the FIRST THING the WH has done right since the Con moved in!

(82,849 posts)1. We've been saying that for weeks
But as usual, the dirty fucking hippies will get no credit for seeing through Ms. Conway's inept ways before everyone else finally figured it out.
If her absence is temporary, we'll be waiting for her when she comes back.

Her ego will make sure of it.
