Counselor to the president, Kellyanne Conway urged viewers to “go buy Ivanka’s stuff” during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning.

The plug — which may even violate White House ethics rules — comes one day after President Trump ripped Nordstrom on Twitter for dumping his daughter’s line.

Experts have taken to Twitter to ponder if she broke ethics rules.

Kellyanne Conway Plugs Ivanka Trump's Clothing Line on Fox News (Video)
So, not only do we have a dumbed-down reality TV show administration and birther-in-chief, we will be having infomercials as well...

Using government power to enrich himself and his cronies. Thats the Trump way. Why do we allow this to continue?

I couldn't believe it when #45 tweeted about the clothing line being pulled from the store 21 minutes after he was scheduled to have a national security briefing. Did he even go to the meeting, did he tweet during the meeting or what? With all the stuff going on in the world the president and his mouth piece, Kellyanne, are lower than pond scum to make a big deal out of this.

Spicer said in the presser that she was "counseled". Chaffetz sending a letter. Reported
to OGE by multiple people - so many that their website was down for hours.

Keep paying attention. Keep calling your officials.

Apparently what she did is a violation of federal law. She cannot promote a business in order to enrich a relative or a friend. After "alternative facts", "Bowling Green Massacre" and now promoting Ivanka's cheap Chinese imports, she is surely on her way out.

I heard about the timeline. Horrifying.

McWhitehouse. I'm as pro-business as the next guy but this is ridiculous.

That was a very lighthearted segment it's a total non-issue. Fox and Friends is a morning show that covers a lot of things that isn't hard news or politically related. This is all engineered by the media they're just looking for anything they can find. They've taken the Ivanka clothing line thing and just ran with it for how long now

And you don't see anything wrong with how they've handled this.
