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."

I know!
I fweel bad!!!
Looks like she may have too much white privilege.
How about all the commies that have ignored laws, or all the subpoenas they ignored?
Obviously, whoever bought Newsweek for $1 seriously overpaid.
Surprised Mr. Conway didn't write this.
BTW, notice that when Democrats want to put Kellyanne in prison, her stubby husband doesn't say a word to defend his wife.
Yes, she should be fired and put under House Arrest! At my house...
If Kellyanne Conway is in any way penalized while Hillary Rodham Clinton remains untouched by law enforcement then that will be a “Fort Sumter” moment for me. Y’all do as you please.

I’m not taking advice from some girl from New Jersey!!!
Yes, that's a good plan. Maybe they can free Mumia and put Kellyanne in his cell. </sarc>
Two Kwongs don’t make a right.................

This is totally absurd and an abuse of the intent of the Hatch Act.
The Hatch Act was passed to prevent government civil service employees from politicking on government time and to prevent them from conflicts of interest in influencing policy and funding to benefit their own personal agency.
Hatch Act does not apply to White House senior policy staff at Conway’s level
“Kwong earned her bachelor’s degree in Comparative Literature in Spanish and English and Mass Communications from the University of California, Berkeley. “
The first person I’d run to for interpretations of federal laws.....
Newsweek ?
Never mind.....
Yep!...............
GUILTY, I think.
Didn’t one of the current crop of Dem candidates commit a Hatch Act violation when he was working for Obama and was never fired?
The very people who accuse her of crimes demand that she testify about them in public. Have they heard of the Fifth Amendment? What obvious partisan bilge. 90% of government employees violate the Hatch Act every election, stooging for the Democrats. They should get busy stopping that.
Kellyanne Conway Should Be Fired And In Prison for Defying Subpoena on Hatch Act Violations
She should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for telling these assholes to “go piss up a rope”.
