On Wednesday, CNN reported Kellyanne Conway was yanked off the air for a week following a long spate of unfortunate television appearances; a claim the White House categorically denies.
Thus far, Conwayâs greatest hits have included her prodigious use of what she calls âalternative factsâ (i.e., lies) and her bizarre, highly inadvisable on-air plug for Ivanka Trumpâs fashion line.

But what reportedly sent the White House over the edge was the bedraggled Counselorâs claim that National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had the âfull confidenceâ of Donald Trump mere hours before he was fired.
An anonymous source told CNN that Conway was barred from making any more television appearances over the next seven days since she was âoff message.â
Another source claimed Conway was taken off the air to help the administration have âmuch more of a drama-free week.â
Since the Flynn incident, Conway said she planned on making far fewer television appearances, but these are the first reports that claim sheâd been altogether pulled off the air.
Sheâs already been barred from several cable news programs, including CNNâs State of the Union and MSNBCâs Morning Joe over credibility issues, as Raw Story reports.

Unsurprisingly, White House officials denied these reports after CNN published them.
White House officials denied the report was true after CNNâs report.
âIâve been invited on shows every day, including two Sunday shows,â Conway told CNN in an update. âIâm trying to focus on other pieces for my portfolio.â
This makes sense, as we often start tinkering with our portfolios when we start to suspect weâll soon be out of a job.
Dylan Byers, the reporter who wrote the original story, clearly isnât buying it:
Alas, it is true. She hasnât been on TV for over a week. Fact they might put her back on TV at some point doesnât change that. https://t.co/jlSoixx5Fc

You do have to admire the White House press strategy⌠Donât respond til after the story posts, then do something to imply itâs not trueâŚ

Gullibility seems to be the ever-growing religion of the left these days.
davidkohl
The gullible you refer to are the people who were fooled into voting for The Odious Man in the White House. For example he talked about his concern for the poor – yet his Cabinet is full of multi-millionaires/billionaires. What do those people know about or care for poor people? ZERO. His true interests are really to further his own business portfolio and to implement a far right political agenda. There are also indications that he has dictatorial inclinations. Unfortunately for him the courts have stopped him, and that’s why he attacks them. He does not understand that he is not a medieval King who can make any law he wants. The real gullible are the ones who continue to support his repulsive agenda.

Follow the money. In this case, oil.

How adorable, the Trump Troll can’t even figure out anything coherent to say, so just tries to make a little vague Palinesque quip to change the subject.
I’m not sure why you even bother trying anymore.
Gian85
MoBro, seems like you are the gullible one. By the way, when Trump goes down for obstructing an FBI investigation… Don’t come crying back here.
Gian85
By the way, Trump did not keep his promise to lock Hillary up, did he Mo Bro, despite her being guilty?

Kellyanne knows its over and if she’s smart she’s negotiating her departure. The last Sunday morning talk show appearance she made on Fox, a so called GOP friendly network, showed how strained she has become trying to defend this now circus of an administration. She’s a fool if she settles for one dime less than one hundred thousand dollars per month for the entire first term plus health benefits (or she starts telling the world what that WH is really like). She knows by now she accepted the wrong job and its time to start collecting.

Not seeing the ‘queer’ connection in this post.

Anything relating to the misfortunes of the current democratically illegitimate, homophobic , sexist and racist administration is relevant on this site.
davidkohl
Even though she is a first class fool and bigot, we should want her to stay in her job. She does more to damage The Odious Man than most people can. She is our insider without even knowing it.
DCguy
Very good point, the very fact that she enrages people points out how dishonest the WH is.
Spike
AND who of us would have known anything about the Bowling Green Massacre if it was not for El Trumpo’s Minister of Propaganda???
Gian85
Sean Spicer is El Trumpo’s Minister of propaganda lol… omg that guy. He could say the sky is blue and I’d have to go look outside and make sure he isn’t lying. Everything that comes out of Spicer’s mouth is a lie. If he was pinocchio… lmao…
GayEGO
Absolutely!
@Gian85 I find Spicer ignoring the questions about Trump and lying about what is going on as well. I don’t think much of Preibus Reince either.

She needs to go home and apologize to her children.
DCguy
The ONE good thing I can think of that Conway did, was to soften Trump’s make up and hair color. He went from Dorito colored with Cheeto cotton candy hair, to merely Bad Jersey Shore tanning spray with Old guy hair process color, so kudos to her for that.
And while I’m on the topic of appearances, I can’t figure it out with her. Is it sun damage or coke/meth? She’s very thin so maybe the latter.
davidkohl
@DCguy – best comment! Very amusing đ
1EqualityUSA
She’s been hanging with a toxic dump too long.
Gian85
Well… you’ll look like a zombie when you sleep 2 hours a day, survive off twelve packs of redbull and have sleepless nights cause your boss is on twitter causing international incidents (using his completely unsecured 5 year old Galaxy S3 I might add!).
GayEGO
Excellent! I love your description of Trump’s hair color!
GayEGO
My goodness! The White House finger pointing away from the truth is really disgusting. Kellyanne looks tired of executing Trump’s orders of what to say and this may be her attempt to get out of this mess as it is not helping her!
