Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway dismissed reports that she has been sidelined from TV during a lengthy interview with Sean Hannity … on TV.
"You were never sidelined," the Fox News host said to Conway during Wednesday night's episode of "Hannity."
"I was not, somebody is trying to stir up trouble," she replied. "About five percent of what I am being asked to do in this White House counselor role is TV, and I think that's about right. Because he's [Trump] the president now, he's his own messenger.
"Just last week, he held a press conference — 77 minutes, took 17 questions," Conway boasted, sparking a round of applause from the audience. "Then two days later he was at a rally in Florida, so he's best messenger — we don't need to be out there all the time."
Conway was responding to a CNN report that she was benched from television appearances for a week for making statements that were at odds with the administration's official stance, most notably about former national security adviser Michael Flynn — just hours before he resigned.
And who can forget her statements about the infamous "Bowling Green massacre"? Or her coining of the phrase "alternative facts."
