SNBC's Mika Brzezinski ramped up her criticism of President Trump and his top advisers in an interview published Tuesday, advising all media outlets that they should no longer put Kellyanne Conway on the air.
"I feel even more so that everyone should ban her," Brzezinski told Variety magazine in reference to her February announcement that Conway would no longer be booked on "Morning Joe."
"I’m surprised that these little acrobatic games are played with her on live national television. I think it denigrates what we do. It’s clear she doesn’t bring anything to the table. It’s clear she doesn’t know exactly what she’s talking about. It’s clear she’s making it up as she goes along."
The "Morning Joe" co-host added that Conway "did teach us about microwaves," a reference to Conway telling a New Jersey newspaper about “microwaves that turn into cameras” while discussing surveillance methods. White House press secretary Sean Spicer would later say Conway's comments were made "in jest."
"That’s true, and now my microwave is named Kellyanne," Brzezinski told Variety. "And every time I open it, which is frequently, because I don’t cook, I say, ‘Thank you, Kellyanne!'" Brzezinski then turned back to Conway and the media, stating it was "unbelievable she has this job" of senior adviser to the president.
"But no, quite seriously, it’s unbelievable she has this job and what it says about this presidency that she has this job," said Brzezinski, the daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski, who served as President Carter's national security adviser from 1977 to 1981.
"Look, it’s not the most comfortable thing to do, but it’s something you just have to: You have to say, ‘This is garbage,’ and rip up the script, and you have to cut to the chase and cut through the b.s., and she brings nothing more to the table than a lot of that," she added.
Joe Scarborough and Brzezinski were accused of being too supportive of Trump during most of the GOP primary and presidential race as the billionaire candidate frequently called into their program.
As recently as New Year's Eve, the longtime MSNBC hosts appeared to be in Trump's good graces. They were seen at a party at the president's Mar-a-Logo resort in Florida. Scarborough said he and Brzezinski were there to talk to Trump about doing an interview on their show.
Trump has not appeared on "Morning Joe" since May.
Mika junior high has spoken! Geez...
Hmmm... I think The Donald could make conditions difficult for MSNBC.
Sounds personal Mika
Haven’t seen much of Kellyanne lately come to think of it.
Mika, Mika, Mika. It's absolutely impossible for the intelligent, articulate and honest Ms. Conway to denigrate what you do. Being the media whore you are is beyond denigration.
Being a dumb blonde takes its toll. Poor Mika.

Is Kellyanne saying nice things about her boyfrend Joe?
Kellyanne was on F&F this morning.
Mika seems like a person who doesn’t like herself much, very jealous, envious, suspicious, everything always circles back to how it effects her- type of person.
If she did like herself even a little, she would find better things to talk about then 2 or more week old news.
talk about a twit....
Mika would look great after 3 months hard labor building the wall
Well, I ban Mika from my TV set. So there.....
I skip right over MSNBC when channel surfing. Take that, Mika............
does MSNBC still have just a fraction of the ratings of other cable news channels????
Must be
Mika has long been a petulant adolescent. A pseudo-intellectual with a pre-school demeanor.
You are not worthy to spitshine Kellyanne’s shoes! Please...
If Mika wasn’t bangin’ Joe, they’d have nothing to talk about...............
Ooooohhh...
Poor widdle “Mika” is jealous that Kellyanne has SO much more talent....and intelligence...and poise...and...
Maybe “Mika” needs to “compete” in a “slower group”?
With that face, Mika is a natural....on a laxative ad.
