Pundits have noticed that the Twitter account of Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has been very silent in the last 24 hours. Now it appears that she is pulling out of a previously scheduled Fox News Sunday appearance:

NEW: Rudy Giuliani-Trump Advisor replaces Kellyanne Conway on Fox News Sunday.

Reince Priebus is also skipping an appearance — on Face the Nation — but Conway’s cancellation is notable because she is a key member of Trump’s inner circle.

I’m not sure what this means, but we’ll stay on top of it.

UPDATE: After Allahpundit asked whether she was still a member of Trump’s campaign, a guy who claims to be an informal adviser to Trump tweeted that she was there at Trump Tower all day. I asked him why she is skipping FNS, and he said: “Because thats what the democrats would want. So we do the opposite.” In the meantime, Conway has texted Ryan Lizza to say she is not quitting and that the idea she would quit is “silly.” So there you have it.
