Scarborough noted that the “Kellyanne thing is getting a lot of attention, and justifiably so” because “it’s unprecedented.”
“Kellyanne doesn’t have a job yet,” he continued. “She’s angry about that. She hasn’t been offered the job she wants. She is. I can report that, and so she’s striking out.”

“She’s not in meetings where these decisions are being made and she’s angry about that.”
It should be noted that Scarborough did not state which position Conway reportedly wants.
