Kellyanne Conway took a break from “more important matters” on Tuesday to deny MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski’s claim that Conway—who regularly appeared on the show before Brzezinski banned her in February—would take off her mic and talk about how she hated Trump after the cameras stopped rolling. “‘First I have to take a shower because it feels so dirty to be saying what I’m saying,’” Brzezinski recalled Conway once saying after a segment. In turn, the top White House adviser and former Trump campaign chief denied the allegations on Twitter, writing that her “beliefs, commitments and loyalties are plain to see,” slamming Brzezinski for saying Conway saw her public support of Trump as a means to an end. “The notion that I am serving for ‘the money’ or a ‘paycheck’ is absurd,” she continued. “It is a privilege to assist President Trump in the White House, just as it was during the campaign. I know him, I respect him, I believe in him, and I am confident in his capacity to be a transformative and successful President.”
