Trump staffer leading N.J. Christmas parade? Humbug, some say

Conway, who was campaign advisor for President-elect Donald Trump and is now part of his transition team, graduated from St. Joseph High School, in Hammonton. Her swing through South Jersey -- plus scheduled speech and being given a key to the town -- was revealed Monday in media reports.

"I don't play politics with the Christmas parade," said Hammonton Councilman Mickey Pullia, also a lieutenant with the town's fire department that has organized the annual parade for years. "This is not a political event in any way, shape or form."
