Scarborough Roasts Kellyanne Conway Over Porter Scandal Comments: ‘No Connection to The Truth’
Joe Scarborough brutally roasted Kellyanne Conway on Monday, following her comments over the weekend about the Rob Porter domestic abuse scandal dogging the White House — reminding Morning Joe viewers of her pattern of dishonesty.
“A lot of back and forth going on here, it could be confusing,” Scarborough said of the conflicting statements coming from the White House over who knew about the Porter allegations and when. “We’ll tell you what, what we usually do on Morning Joe when we’re confused and just want to know the facts. We just wish somebody at the White House would give us the facts.”
“Well, we go to Kellyanne Conway,” Scarborough quipped. “Well yesterday the counselor to the president, Kellyanne Conway said that John Kelly has the president’s full confidence, which actually sounds a lot like what Kellyanne Conway said about another aide, exactly one year ago today.”
Scarborough then played a clip of Conway in February 2017 claiming that former national security adviser Michael Flynn “does enjoy the full confidence of the president” (Flynn was fired a couple hours later.)
Conway “rushed out, and did what she does so often, said things that have no connection to the truth,” the Morning Joe host said.
Scarborough concluded that Conway’s claims that Kelly has the full confidence of the president “is the exact opposite of everything I’ve heard from people inside the White House and also people very close to president Trump.”
“President Trump is finished with John Kelly, and his staff members around John Kelly can’t wait for him to go.”
