Kellyanne Conway says calls for her firing are just efforts to silence her
Senior White House aide Kellyanne Conway said a federal agency's report calling for her dismissal over Hatch Act violations is little more than an effort to silence her as one of the most prominent spokespeople for President Donald Trump and his agenda.
"They want to put a big roll of masking tape over my mouth," Conway told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" on Monday morning. “They want to chill free speech because they don’t know how to beat [Trump] at the ballot box."The U.S.
Conway, whose official title is counselor to the president, questioned whether the Hatch Act applied to her, telling Fox News that “it was not even clear what the Hatch Act allowed.” "It's not even clear to us here at the White House, according to the counsel, that the Hatch Act applies to assistants to the president," she said.
This is the first time the U.S. Office of Special Counsel has recommended that a White House official be removed from office, a fact Conway was quick to point out, saying that she “would be the first member of the West Wing to be hauled in front of Congress to talk about the Hatch Act.”that it will vote to authorize a subpoena if Conway does not appear Wednesday for the panel’s hearings on alleged Hatch Act violations.
