White House says Conway has been ‘counseled’ after touting Ivanka Trump’s products

Conway may have broken key ethics rule by touting Ivanka Trump's products, experts say

President Trump's official counselor, Kellyanne Conway, may have broken a key ethics rule Thursday morning when she told TV audiences to "go buy Ivanka's stuff." Federal employees are banned from using their public office to endorse products, regulations state.

    Sure if they mean they told her to be a little more subtle in pushing Ivanka's products like Sean Spicer has been doing or how the POTUS account has been. Its funny even the guy who worked for Bannon who wrote "Clinton Cash" is saying this is a problem.

    Said Peter Schweizer, who has worked closely with Trump aide Stephen K. Bannon and wrote the book “Clinton Cash,” which was critical of donations to the Clinton Foundation: “They’ve crossed a very, very important bright line, and it’s not good. To encourage Americans to buy goods from companies owned by the first family is totally out of bounds and needs to stop.

    “Clearly, the Trumps feel some of this is related to politics. But whether that’s true or not, these marketing battles need to be fought by Ivanka and her company. They cannot and should not be fought by government employees and the White House,” Schweizer said. “It’s time to move beyond the mind-set and the role of a businessman and assume the mantle of commander of chief.”

    Wonder if Bannon is trying to get rid of Conway now.

      It's funny that the man is not a hypocrite? It's pretty sad that that's unusual these days.

        Its funny that a guy who was paid by Bannon and who's movie and book was used by both Bannon and Trump in the election as proof Hillary was crooked is now criticizing Bannon and Trump.

    Violating rules is an alternative fact.
