The Donald Trump administration has been surrounded by a constant stream of controversy ever since the president was sworn into office back in January. After four months on the job, it doesn't look as if the situation is getting any better.
MSNBC on Conway
After Donald Trump surprised many by winning the Republican nomination at the GOP convention last summer, he was forced to make a big change with his campaign. Paul Manafort, who was serving as campaign manager at the time, was exposed for having financial ties to Russia and resigned shortly after.
In his place, the former host of "The Apprentice" tapped veteran Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway to take on the job. While the duo was successful, it didn't come without issues involving his new campaign manager. Conway would often clash with hosts on cable and Sunday talk shows, which only increased following the election. With the pressure mounting on the White House, Conway came under fire earlier this year when she used the term "alternative facts" to describe the falsehoods coming out of the administration, while also citing the nonexistent "Bowling Green Massacre" in an attempt to justify Trump's "Muslim ban." Over the last week, Conway was once again in the news after getting into a heated argument with Anderson Cooper on CNN, which was highlighted by the crew of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on May 15.
On Monday morning's "Morning Joe," hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski accused Kellyanne Conway of privately hating Donald Trump, claiming she was only working for the president to earn a steady paycheck. Brzezinski said that Conway would come on the show and "shill for Trump in extensive fashion and then she would get off the air...the microphone would be taken off and she would say 'I need to take a shower,’ because she disliked her candidate so much.'"
Mika Brzezinski didn't stop there, claiming Kellyanne Conway would say she had "to take a shower because it feels so dirty" to support Donald Trump.
Joe Scarborough then chimed in, citing that Conway would refer to Trump as a "client" after the controversial Access Hollywood tapes were released, saying she was " just doing this for the money" so she could get to her "summer vacation."
Moving forward
With Donald Trump reportedly pondering whether or not to make a major change to his administration, including possibly firing Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, and Sean Spicer, it appears as if he has another issues on his hand if Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are accurate with their allegations. As of press time, neither Trump nor Kellyanne Conway have commented on the remarks made by the "Morning Joe" hosts.
