Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski on Friday morning dismissed White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's interviews as mere "politics porn." Arguing that Conway has totally lost her credibility, Brzezinski urged CNN to stop airing interviews with her. "Also note to CNN, sorry, I love CNN, but you got to stop putting Kellyanne on the air. It's politics porn," Brzezinski said. "You're just getting your little ratings cracks, okay, but it's disgusting. There's nothing that she brings to the table that's honest."
Brzezinski pointed out that CNN's hosts even "look pained" when they have to interview Conway "because they know they're just doing politics porn." "They're not doing news," Brzezinski said. "We need to stick to the news."
