After Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway failed to appear to testify on her Hatch Act violations before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Monday, Democrats, watchdog and advocacy groups called for her to be fired and even put in prison.
White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, in a letter to the committee's chairman Elijah Cummings, wrote, "Ms. Conway cannot be compelled to testify before Congress with respect to matters related to her service as a senior adviser to the president" and that "the President has directed Ms. Conway not to appear at the Committee's scheduled hearing on Monday, July 15, 2019."
Accordingly, Conway did not show up to testify on the Office of Special Counsel's conclusion in June that she broke the federal law prohibiting executive branch employees from influencing the outcome of an election, and recommending that Trump remove her from serving in government.
In a statement Monday afternoon, Sean Eldridge, president of the progressive advocacy group Stand Up America, said that Conway is "unfit to serve the American people in any capacity" and that "as the U.S. Office of Special Counsel recommended, she should immediately be fired."

And trying to bury the NXIVM and Epstein-Clinton stories...
Big Headline, but they are quoting a Soros Org. Drone as "Democrats Say!", not any elected Democrats saying this.
Newsweak...Idiots all!
Jessica’s gross stupidity makes her a threat to society . . . Arrest that woman!!!!! (aspiring dictators like Jessica can always make up an excuse for arresting their enemies.)
Is that what you said when Eric Holder defied a Congressional Subpoena?
No sale, Newsweek, as always! FOAD!!!!
Which is the bigger threat to the US?
-Kellyanne for an alleged violation of an unenforceable act that has NOTHING to do with national security
-—or-—
-HRC for storing classified information on an unsecured server in violation of the National Security Act
Hmmm????
“Everybody Kwong tonight”
Me bad
Wrong, Kwong.
Eric Holder..
No one has ever been arrested for a Hatch Act violation. Probably unconstitutional
I’s Newsweek, do they actually get paid to promote their stupidity, or is this the only clowns they can find to write stories?
If asked, I'm sure that AOC, Ilhan Omar, or Rashida Tlaib would be more than happy to provide the sound bite.
Jessica Kwong is kwrong
you wacist!
Jessica is a CA and Berkeley lib. She can leave my country, too.
F m.
Looks like she may have too much white privilege.
According to Democrats, any member of the administration who speaks in favorable terms of Trump or his agenda, or negatively of his adversaries, is in violation of the Hatch Act. This all about weaponizing the Hatch Act so that no one in the Executive Branch can advocate for Trump or his positions. Adversaries can say anything they want, and ONLY Trump can answer them. Very Alinsky of them. I’m surprised they haven’t gone after Barr for Hatch violations yet.
Conway is “unfit to serve the American people in any capacity”
