The flawed case for firing Kellyanne Conway

In a weird case of uneven enforcement, the Justice Department's Office of Special Counsel recommended that President Trump's presidential advisor, Kellyanne Conway, be fired for making political statements in a violation of the Hatch Act. Here's the Washington Examiner's listing of her supposed 'violations':

Specific violations listed by Kerner related to Conway's comments during interviews about several 2020 Democratic candidates. For instance, she insinuated Sen. Cory Booker was “sexist” and a “tinny” “motivational speaker.” She castigated former Rep. Beto O'Rourke “think[ing] the women running are good enough to be President" and said Sen. Elizabeth Warren was "lying” about her ethnicity and “appropriating somebody else’s heritage.”

Kerner also detailed her comments about "frontrunners” Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, whom she referred to as “two old white straight men career politicians." She claimed Biden lacked “vision,” said his announcement video was “very dark and spooky,” and criticized his unwillingness to be “held to account for his record.” Conway said Sanders' ideas were “terrible for America."

He determined that Conway used her “@KellyannePolls” account on Twitter to perform her official duties, but also engaged in "significant political activity." This included her retweet of a March 31 message that referred to Biden as “Creepy Uncle Joe.”

Which is kind of weird, given that it pretty well posits that no one, not even a political appointee, is allowed to have an opinion of any kind once in the White House. And by the way, the press asked for these opinions, Kellyanne didn't just give them.

It also implies by default that no one in the Obama White House ever had or gave an opinion, which is laughable. Hello, Valerie Jarrett? Hello, Ben Rhodes. Double standard anyone? Spotty enforcement?

The flawed case for firing Kellyanne Conway

This conclusion is yet more proof that the "Deep State" is alive and well.

[eartick]

What a crock of male bovine scat

[TheTimeOfMan]

Hey deep state - GTH.

For those who have not seen it - go to youtube and look up Kellyanne’s take down of Costa. The most brutal public humiliation I have ever seen. Brilliant.

[mylife]

She aint skeered.

[Alberta's Child]

The only reason to fire Kellyanne Conway is her bloated slob of a husband who crawls out from under a slimy rock periodically to publicly lambaste her boss.

(Trump) is not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Page texted Strzok.

“No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok responded.

But this is perfectly fine.

There is no case beyond getting paid for creating a fake case

[billyboy15]

The President has already announced Kelly Ann is staying.

[marron]

She essentially speaks for the president. That is her job. With few exceptions, those aren’t just her opinions, they are his.

George is weird.

Like Mary Matlin and Snakehead James Carville.

Dang old Trump talked to a Slovenian.

Hatch act violation!

[Robert A Cook PE]

In this case, the hatred starts (again!) with John McCain: The bureaucrat “pushing” and publicizing this attack on KellyAnne is one of many ex-John McCain’s senior staff still down inside the Deep State.

Who the hell doesn’t talk politics?

Bet the person behind all this hooey is her husband.

Matlin-Carville is an odd political arrangement, but Carville has about 1,000 times more class than Mr. Kellyanne Conway. That itself ought to be a pathetic embarrassment to Conway.
