The end of the road for Kellyanne? Conway banned from morning show, blamed for leaking Sean Spicer rumors

Banned from "Morning Joe," Conway has had a rough week, as speculation persists on her future in the administration

TAYLOR LINK

In the wake of her Nordstrom gaffe, Kellyanne Conway, the White House’s most reliable spokesperson, has lost yet another important cable news show on which she could appear.

“Morning Joe” host Mika Brezinski announced Wednesday morning that Conway was banned from the show. She said the decision was motivated by the White House senior counselor’s TV appearances, where something was always “askew, off or incorrect.”

Conway’s inaccuracies have been abundantly clear since she coined the phrase “alternative facts.” Last week, she got into a heated exchange with CNN host Jake Tapper, in which he delivered the most powerful rebuke of the White House staffer seen to date. She hasn’t been on CNN since.

Blacklisted on “Morning Joe,” Conway’s morning only became more inconvenienced when CNN released a report citing sources accusing her of spreading rumors about the imminent firing of the White House press secretary. Five separate sources told CNN’s Dylan Byers that Conway personally leaked the news about Sean Spicer’s tenuous relationship with the president so that she could curry favor with her boss. But Conway’s recent blunders have made her standing in the White House less certain. On Tuesday, Conway indiscriminately retweeted a white nationalist on Twitter that she later deleted.

But I must say it will be a happy day to see her get the axe.
