Link to tweet
Kellyanne Conway, once the most visible spokesperson for the Trump White House, has been sidelined from television appearances for making statements that were at odds with the administration's official stance, White House sources told CNNMoney on Wednesday.
Conway has not given a television interview since early last week. On that Monday, she claimed that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had the president's "full confidence." Hours later, Flynn resigned.
The following day, Conway claimed Flynn had offered to resign, even though White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Trump had asked Flynn for his resignation.
She has not given a television interview since then.
Those statements, which came amid existing public scrutiny over Conway's credibility, led the president and his top advisers to conclude that her appearances were doing more harm than good for the administration, the sources said.
Conway was "off message," a White House source said.

To be fair, it's not as if Dolt45 does the most minimal amount of coordination with anyone.

maybe that's why the Ivanka plug. She was trying to get in some brownie points.

They don't want to "officially" get rid of her yet because they don't want to look incompetent.
Yeah, I know!

He doesn't even consult Congress on his Executive Orders. All his surrogates are left to fend for themselves because their boss is too busy golfing and tweeting.
