Conway sidelined after going 'off message'

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/320668-white-house-barring-kellyanne-conway-from-tv-after-speaking-off


The White House is barring counselor Kellyanne Conway from television appearances after the high-profile aide made multiple on-air statements contradicting the Trump administration’s official stance, CNN reported Wednesday.

Conway, who was recently a regular fixture on TV news, hasn’t 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 aide’s 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 Trump’s clothing line on “Fox & Friends.”

Nevertheless, Conway’s 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!

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.

I can't listen to it. I mute the TV as soon as someone mentions she will appear.
