Conway was asked whether evidence showed Trump Tower had been targeted by a wiretap, and she didn’t answer the question but suggested surveillance could be conducted through electronic devices such as phone and TVs.
Jon Meacham, executive editor at Random House, said the “melancholy reality” was that Conway was working to undermine trust in government and institutions, which he said could trigger paranoid fantasies in people with mental health issues.
“The historical analogy here is the birther conspiracy,” Meacham said, referring to an anti-Obama conspiracy theory promoted by Trump. “We don’t have to go back very far, right?”
Brzezinski said Conway’s comments demonstrated why she would no longer be welcome as a guest on “Morning Joe.”
“She doesn’t believe in what she is saying,”Brzezinski said. “The reason we won’t have her on this show is because a lot of what she says is either not true or she has no idea what she is saying, and it ends up being debunked by the very White House she works for. During the campaign, when she was very adept at transferring Trump’s message and talented in some ways, and would get off the set and say she needed to take a shower, and she would call him her client. She doesn’t believe in what she’s saying.”
Brzezinski said Conway’s integrity and credibility issues demonstrated a fundamental flaw in the Trump administration.
