Kellyanne Conway made her return to TV on Wednesday night during an appearance on Fox's Hannity to claim she hadn't been sidelined by the White House as reported, insisting she spent the week off air looking after her kids.

'I'm not sidelined. Somebody's trying to stir up trouble,' she told Hannity and a crowd of fans at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

'If I'm out for a few days with four kids looking at houses and schools, a lot of my colleagues aren't trying to figure out how to be a mother of four kids I assure you,' she continued.

In a jibe at CNN which claimed she'd been yanked out of television for giving out false information during a handful of problematic appearances, Conway said she'd been used as 'clickbait' and there was resentment towards her 'gobbling up others' TV time.'

Kellyanne Conway returned to TV on Wednesday to appear on Fox's Hannity after a week off air. She used the interview to deny reports she'd been yanked out of appearances for giving bad information

'About five per cent of what I'm asked to do in this role as special adviser to the president is TV.

'We don't always need to be out there all the time. He's confident, he's his own best messenger,' she added.

Hannity, who earlier hyped up the crowd by heaping praise on President Trump and the administration, echoed her comments. 'How long have you been booked on my show? It's impossible you were sidelined.'

Conway also used her interview to scold the mainstream media which she said had been exercising 'presumptive negativity' towards the administration.

'Some people talk about biased and fair coverage.

'My grievance is full coverage. We want the complete story told. President Trump has actioned 23, maybe 24 executive actions but basically one of them has gotten all of the attention.

'There are such great stories to tell, facts and figures, that we just want to make sure are reaching people. It's why so many people don't like the president using Twitter, well too bad, he's cutting out the middle man.'

Conway said she'd spent the week looking at schools with her four children and fulfilling other duties in her role as special adviser to the president

Conway said she'd been used as 'clickbait' and agreed with Hannity that her appearance on the show had been booked for months

Conway was given an enthusiastic welcome from the crowd at the convention on Wednesday

While taking questions from the audience about the future of women in politics, she couldn't resist a jab at Hillary Clinton.

'There were a lot of people who said I'd like to have a female president, just not that one,' she said to cheers.

Conway was being kept from giving TV interviews after she inaccurately said President Trump had 'full confidence' in his national security advisor Mike Flynn just hours before Flynn resigned, according to a report.

Conway stumbled again when she said Flynn had offered to resign, when the White House and President Trump later said Trump's confidence in Flynn had eroded.

Conway used the appearance to scold the media which she said wasn't delivering 'the full story'

Those appearances followed an earlier misstep which may have run afoul of ethics rules for federal government workers, when Conway urged Americans to 'Go buy Ivanka's stuff.'

She made the statement after Nordstrom stores pulled clothing products of the president's daughter off of its shelves.

CNN reported Wednesday that Conway was 'sidelined from television appearances for making statements that were at odds with the administration's official stance,' citing White House sources.

Conway's comment on Ivanka Trump products may have run against federal ethics rules that state: 'An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives.'

Conway apologized to Trump after the incident and tweeted that she had his full support. 'POTUS supports me, and millions of Americans support him & his agenda," she tweeted.

One White House source told the network Conway was 'off message.' A source close to the White House said in the report, 'Clearly they're having much more of a drama-free week. Having Kellyanne off television is helping them.'

On February 13, Conway said the White House had 'full confidence' in Michael Flynn hours before he announced his resignation

On February 2, she appeared on MSNBC's Hardball where she referred to the 'Bowling Green Massacre' which never happened

Conway said last Tuesday that she doesn't know whether the president's top White House lawyer told him that the Justice Department knew Flynn had lied about his extra-curricular conversations with a top Russian diplomat

Conway also found herself rebuked for telling viewers to 'go buy' Ivanka Trump's 'stuff'

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders knocked down the report.

The story is 'just not true,' she told DailyMail.com. 'She has multiple appearances this week and has been heavily involved in the planning for the joint session speech,' she added, in a reference to Trump's speech to Congress next week.

Sanders in the CNN story called it a 'wild goose chase' and said Conway 'has a large portfolio at the WH and is spending significant time focusing on it.'

Conway had told CNN in an interview last week that, 'I'm trying to reduce my television exposure.'

Conway committed another unforced error when she cited the nonexistent 'Bowling Green Massacre' to justify Trump's travel ban. She later said she meant to refer to 'Bowling Green terrorists' who got arrested here, and said she misspoke.

The Iraqi nationals had admitted to constructing improvised explosives and using them against U.S. troops in Iraq before coming here, the Washington Post reported.

The federal Office of Government Ethics wrote that the White House should consider disciplinary action against Conway for her endorsement of Ivanka Trump products.
