Panel of Men Rejects Kellyanne Conway's Accusations of Sexism

Brzezinski quoted a “source familiar with Trump’s thinking,” saying, “Kellyanne went rogue at the worst possible time.” Scarborough called Conway’s actions “extraordinarily undisciplined,” implied she was retaliating after not being offered her preferred position in the administration, and said he’d “fire a staffer in a second if they did that to me.”

Conway reportedly texted Scarborough as Morning Joe aired to deny the report, claiming it was “sexist” and that she can have any job she wants.

Scarborough rejected Conway’s criticism, in turn, asking a panel of men what would actually constitute sexism: “I’m not sure how that reporting is sexist because those were sources at the top of the campaign, is she suggesting that the people she’s working with, the three people at the top of the Trump transition campaign, are sexist? Because that’s where all this sourcing comes from, the people closest to Donald Trump.”

Brzezinski remained silent.

“What’s sexist? Why are they sexist for saying this?” Scarborough repeated.

“What’s news?” would have perhaps been the better question for Joe to ask here. What’s worth writing about when something insane happens every three seconds and cable news hosts are semi-openly using their platforms to curry favor with a rising autocracy? If a panel of men wouldn’t mind weighing in on this for me, that would be great.
