<\/a><\/p>\nTrump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway\u00a0denied that she has been sidelined for making statements that are at odds with the administration\u2019s official stance.<\/span><\/p>\n Conway appeared on Fox News last night but had not given an interview on tv since Monday of last week.<\/span><\/p>\n In that interview, she said that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn<\/a> had Trump\u2019s \u201cfull confidence\u201d just hours before he was given the presidential heave-ho. The following day, Conway said Flynn had offered to resign. However, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer<\/a> said Trump had asked Flynn for his resignation.<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>CNN<\/b><\/a>, those statements led Trump and his top advisers to conclude that her appearances were doing more harm than good for the administration.<\/span><\/p>\n Prior to the Flynn scandal, Conway was already under fire for urging people to purchase Ivanka Trump\u2019s clothing products, a move House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz called \u201cunacceptable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to CNN, Conway denied that she has been sidelined, claiming instead that she is \u201ctrying to focus on other pieces of my portfolio.\u201d She added said that Trump is his own best \u201ccommunicator and connector\u201d and did not need her to be a constant presence on television. \u201cNone of us do it like he does,\u201d she helpfully noted.<\/span><\/p>\n White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders also dismissed the allegations as a \u201cwild goose chase.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n .@KellyannePolls<\/a>: \u201cThis is @realDonaldTrump<\/a> putting together a really brilliant, very conservative cabinet.\u201d #Hannity<\/a> #CPAC2017<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/U33vHe1GbA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fox News (@FoxNews) February 23, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cKellyanne has a number of media appearances this week and also has a large portfolio at the WH and is spending significant time focusing on it,\u201d said Sanders.<\/span><\/p>\n However, sources said the Trump administration is \u201cenjoying a reprieve from the controversy created by her appearances.\u201d<\/span> \u201cTrump was using her as an effective surrogate, then she started becoming ineffective,\u201d said one source, \u201cso they\u2019re letting the heat cool off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Watch Matt Lauer take on Conway\u2019s Flynn explanation below.<\/p>\n \u201cThat makes no sense.\u201d @MLauer<\/a> to @KellyannePolls<\/a> while discussing Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn pic.twitter.com\/94SaFlQJxo<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 TODAY (@TODAYshow) February 14, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post Kellyanne Conway Denies She\u2019s Been Sidelined by Trump: VIDEO<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\nRELATED:\u00a0Kellyanne Conway: \u2018I Don\u2019t Know Who\u2019 Tweeted \u2018Love You Back\u2019 to a White Supremacist from My Account<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n
