Trump viciously attacks Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski hours after campaign manager insists he doesn't insult people

Donald Trump viciously attacked Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski on Monday morning, just hours after his new campaign manager insisted he "doesn't hurl personal insults."

"I don't like when people hurl personal insults. That will never be my style, I'm a mother of four small children, it would be a terrible example for me to feel otherwise," Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told ABC News less than 24 hours before Trump's tweets. Trump "doesn't hurl personal insults," she added.

Trump ousted campaign manager Paul Manafort last week, who many in the Republican establishment hoped would help with Trump's pivot. Trump's new team, made up of Conway and campaign chief executive Stephen Bannon, reportedly want to reinstate a "let Trump be Trump" strategy.
