Morning Joe hosts claim Kellyanne Conway detests working for Trump and is only in it for the money
Morning Joe co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough claimed Monday that President Trump's most trusted, talented spin doctor, Kellyanne Conway, secretly detested defending Trump on the campaign trail. Brzezinski alleged Conway would come on Morning Joe to "shill for Trump in extensive fashion and then she would get off the air, the camera would be turned off, the microphone would be taken off, and she would say 'bleh, I need to take a shower' because she disliked her candidate so much."
Scarborough added that Conway allegedly said: "This is just, like my summer in Europe. I'm just doing this for the money, I'll be off this soon." He clarified, "I don't know that she ever said 'I'm doing this for the money,' but 'this is just my summer vacation, my summer in Europe.' And basically, 'I'm gonna get through this.'"
The hosts also alleged Conway would refer to Trump as "my client" to distance herself from him after his lewd comments on the Access Hollywood tape became public. Watch below. Jeva Lange
