Morning Joe: Trump ‘Furious’ at Kellyanne Conway Going ‘Rogue’ With Romney Criticism

When I suggested yesterday that Kellyanne Conway was being “less than loyal” to Donald Trump by sharply criticizing Mitt Romney on the Sunday shows, some readers took issue, surmising that Trump himself had encouraged Conway’s attacks.

But today’s Morning Joe reported as Breaking News that two sources at the top of the transition say that Trump is “furious” at Conway for her comments, notably her suggestion that Trump had “betrayed” his supporters by considering Romney for Secretary of State. The sources described Conway as having gone “rogue.” Scarborough read a response from Conway in which she called the comments “sexist” and claimed she could have “any job she wants” in the Trump administration.

Is it really surprising that Trump would be angry at Conway for accusing him of having “betrayed” his supporters?

I do believe that Joe and Mika have sources within Trump campaign. I tend to believe this report.

[VanDeKoik]

Because lots of people on our side swear that they don’t believe the MSM, while they have it playing in the next room.

[Blue Jays]

That has been my thought, too, RoosterRedux.
Mitt Romney is just being "floated" out there to further destabilize RINOs and the crooked media.
He will never be given the Secretary of State position in a million years.

[Jimmy The Snake]

Fake News - and you know the narrative that will come from Fake News is that only MSM can be trusted for truth, the rest are fake and the propaganda continues.

[Fantasywriter]

Do you folloe Trump’s twitter feed? He explicitly stated that when any news reports cites “sources,” it means they just made it up.

[canuck_conservative]

Kellyanne simply said what every Trump supporter feels, Trump should be listening now

Romney is a backstabber; backstabbers should not be rewarded

… just like the Bushes and all their Old-Guard neo-con cronies who shat on Trump during the campaign … y’all burned your bridges, dumbasses, now go away quietly

I like the still shots of those two, keeps the lips still, for a while.

Joe's got the weirdest face-to-head ratio of anyone I've seen. He could play Humpty Dumpty in the Nursery Rhymes.

Too many people , even on our side take the media as a serious outlet.

[Helicondelta]

“Who are the sources?”

The pro-Romney wing of the transition team: Pence and Priebus.

[hans56]

“Who are the “sources?”
I’m guessing Carl Rove and Jeb Bush

[GonzoII]

These kind of reports are going to go on and on and....

[Centaur]

I tend t think that if Trump were angry with her, he would have spoken with her privately, if for no other reason out of respect for her expert steering through the campaign. There wouldn’t have been any “sources”.

[trebb]

Riiiiiiight.....the only reason she even opted to “come out” is because so many concern trolls decided to read so much into the meeting Trump had with him.

[Alberta's Child]

LMAO. Now I’ll never be able to look at him without laughing at him.

[Resettozero]

Because lots of people on our side swear that they don’t believe the MSM, while they have it playing in the next room.

Hinging one's opinion-of-the-moment on the yays and nays of the LSM has produced a confused and often befuddled group of FR posters whose usernames are noted.

And EVERYTHING said by EVERYBODY in the Lamestream media gets reposted on FR with little if any discernment by the posters.

[Lady Heron]

Unless Conway and Trump had a major falling out, which is very doubtful, she was doing exactly what he wanted.

[Religion and Politics]

An interesting question not yet answered is what position or role does Conway want? There is contention somewhere though based on her previous response to “reports” that she would not leave her lucrative polling firm to serve in the Trump administration. She indicated then that the “sources” were just playing the game to show her as disinterested in roles that they themselves were seeking for their purposes.

[manc]

EXACTLY.

[McGruff]

I stand with Kellyanne on this one. Trump campaigned against the Republican establishment. Keep your word!

[Terry Mross]

The sources are “Some People” as in “Some people say..
