Kellyanne Conway Apologized To Donald Trump After Ivanka Clothing Line Comments

... backed her up "completely," the official said. The official also said that the President "hated" the word "counseled" - as was used by press secretary Sean Spicer in the White House briefing Thursday in reference to the White House response to Conway's comments. Conway tweeted Friday that she had the President's support. POTUS supports me, and millions of Americans support him & his agenda. __link__/FTa PXTym GV. — Kellyanne Conway (@Kellyanne Polls) February 10, 2017. "POTUS supports me, and millions of Americans support him & his agenda," Conway tweeted, with a link to an Associated Press news story about the President's backing in the wake of the criticism for her comments. Conway, in a Fox News interview, urged viewers Thursday to "go buy Ivanka's stuff" after Nordstrom and other stores said recently that they were changing their relationship with the first daughter's clothing line because of poor sales.

Lawyers Seek To Sanction Kellyanne Conway, Accuse Her Of Violating Rule Prohibiting 'dishonesty, Fraud, Deceit

... House counselor Kellyanne Conway. The February 20 letter , which includes professors from law schools at Yale, Duke, and Georgetown, seeks professional discipline against President Donald Trump's counselor, whom the signatories accuse of violating a rule prohibiting lawyers from engaging in "conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.". Conway has a license to practice law in her native New Jersey along with one in Washington, DC, which is suspended for not keeping current with fees. Susan L. Brooks, a law professor at Drexel University, told Philly Voice that a similar ethics complaint would seek Conway's disbarment in New Jersey, her home state. A group of law professors has filed a misconduct complaint against Kellyanne Conway in Washington, D. C. Media: Media OS Video. The signatories asked the DC Court of Appeals to sanction Conway for what they called misconduct as Trump's counselor. As examples, they pointed to Conway's evoking a nonexistent "massacre" to justify temporarily barring Muslim immigrants from the US, falsely ...

So Glad You’re Back, Kellyanne! We Missed You

... she who declared that soon-to-be-fired national security adviser Mike Flynn had “the full confidence of the president.” No one but Kellyanne was remotely surprised when Flynn got canned soon thereafter. For sheer entertainment, though, it was hard to improve upon Kellyanne’s spontaneous on-air pitch for Ivanka Trump’s fashion products after Nordstrom announced it was dropping the line. “Go buy Ivanka’s stuff is what I would tell you,” Kellyanne chirped on “Fox & Friends,” adding, “I hate shopping. I’m going to get myself some today.”. She proudly characterized her riff as a “free commercial,” a clue that she was hilariously unfamiliar with the ethics rules prohibiting White House staff from endorsing products or companies. But that’s exactly the sort of carefree jabbering that makes her so darn fun to watch. We were crestfallen when Kellyanne got blackballed by CNN after her Bowling Green hallucinations, and we were elated when they ...

Kellyanne Conway Crumbles Under The Weight Of Her Own Lies

... he had discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador a month before Donald Trump became president. Sources told The Washington Post that in January, then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates had warned the Trump administration about possible Russian blackmail  and suspected that Flynn misled officials, including Vice President Mike Pence , about his contact with Russia. But on Tuesday, Conway, who had claimed just hours before his resignation that the White House had “full confidence” in Flynn , repeatedly could not say why the administration waited to act. On NBC’s “Today” show, the White House counselor claimed that “the situation had become unsustainable” after Flynn misled Pence. “But the fact is, General Flynn continued in that position and was in the presidential daily briefings, as part of the leader calls, as recently as yesterday,” Conway said. Host Matt Lauer was incredulous. “Kellyanne, that makes no sense,” he said. “Last month, the Justice Department warned the White House that General Flynn had misled them and that, as a result, he was vulnerable to blackmail and ...

Law Professors File Ethics Complaint Against Kellyanne Conway Over 'lies

... Conway obtained a law degree from George Washington University Law School. She was admitted to the Washington, D. C., bar in 1995, though she is currently suspended for nonpayment of dues, according to the complaint. The letter, which  The Washington Post obtained , was sent to the Washington, D. C., Office of Disciplinary Counsel of the Board of Professional Responsibility, which addresses complaints about members of the local bar. The letter lists Conway’s lies, including those about the non-existent “ Bowling Green Massacre ” to justify Trump’s ban against travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Not only was there no massacre, but “Ms. Conway knew there was no massacre,” the filing states. The complaint also upbraids Conway’s touting of “alternative facts” — which are “not facts at all; they are lies,” the letter notes. Finally, Conway’s touting of products sold by the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump on national TV were a “clear violation of government ethics rules, which a lawyer and a member of the bar should surely know,” the document states. The complaint concludes that Conway’s “conduct, clearly violative of the rules that ...

Kellyanne Conway Is The Ultimate Conservative ‘cool Girl

... an extra frisson to the way conservative Cool Girls — particularly the ones who back Trump no matter what — validate not merely the policy preferences of conservative men, but specifically, the things that conservative men do that are demeaning to women. They don’t merely reaffirm men’s ideas of themselves to those men: they march out and sell that flattering image to other people, no matter how humiliating the sales pitch. (I would acknowledge that Conway diverges from the Cool Girl model in that I believe her broader conservative politics, including her opposition to abortion, are sincere rather than something she adopted for gain. Though when it comes to specifics, there is literally a debate underway about whether Conway is too dishonest, or merely too out of the loop, to be booked on cable news shows.). Take Conway’s answer at a post-election forum in November when another woman asked of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, “How do you rationalize that as a woman and also as his campaign manager?” Conway described the question as an attempt to be “personally mean,” flipping her questioner’s assumption that women owe each other some ...

Kellyanne Conway, In Return To Cnn, Plays A Shell Game

... —. TAPPER: They were on the list of under-covered attacks. CONWAY: As were dozens and dozens of others. Got it? So, in order to prove a point about the media having underreported certain terrorist attacks, the Trump White House released a list that included both under-covered and sufficiently covered terrorist attacks, and didn't distinguish between the two. But that wasn't what was promised. Here's what White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday when asked to substantiate Trump's claims of the media underreporting terrorist attacks. "We’ll provide a list later. There’s several instances. … There’s a lot of instances that have occurred where I don’t think they’ve gotten the coverage it deserved.”. And then the White House provided a list that didn't prove that point at all. This was Tapper's reaction when Conway was making the argument, after she said "absolutely.". Seems about right. Kellyanne Conway, White House counselor and President Trump's former campaign manager, keeps giving televised interviews that dominate the news cycle – sometimes due to misconstrued facts, or ...

Trump’s Oval Office Photo-op Part Of A Black College Visit Gone Wrong

... he acted on helping out the struggling schools — given what he described as President Obama’s mixed legacy  on historically black universities. On Monday the Trump staff  linked  on the White House website to a Mc Clatchy article titled “President Trump seeks to Outdo Obama in Backing Black Colleges.”. And perhaps feeling upended by the president’s surprise meeting with the presidents of historically black colleges and universities ahead of her own scheduled visit with the leaders, newly confirmed Education Secretary Betsy De Vos  issued a tone-deaf statement that completely whitewashed the legacy of the historical institutions. Historically black colleges and universities are “real pioneers when it comes to school choice,” De Vos said Monday. “They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and great quality,” De Vos wrote in a statement shoehorning into it her ideology about starving public education through state-funded vouchers. “Their success has shown that more options help students flourish.”. But as Brendan Nyhan, a professor of political science at Dartmouth University, pointed out on ...

(Watch Us Weekly Video's supercut of Conway's most notorious quotes in the video at the top of this post!). Donald Trump's Most Outrageous Quotes Ranked. Following the incidents, it was reported that the White House cut back on Conway's TV appearances. She later denied the reports during an interview on Hannity. "I think there's some people trying to get in my way. I've also gobbled up a lot of other people's TV opportunities, so there’s some resentment on the outside, I believe. And folks just trying to use me as clickbait in a headline," she said on February 22. "I'm there to serve the president, who is there to serve the American people.".
