Two sources at the top of the Donald Trump transition team confirmed to MSNBC that they spoke to the president-elect today and that Donald Trump was "furious" at Kellyanne Conway's comments Sunday suggesting Trump "betrayed" his supporters by even considering Mitt Romney for a position in his cabinet.

Trump's top aides said they were "baffled" by Conway's comments and suggested that it feeds into a growing concern inside the campaign that "instead of driving Donald Trump's message, she's pushing her own agenda."

Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus have reportedly been growing frustrated by Conway's failure to become a team player in a transition process where the top players are forming a tight knit group around the president-elect.

Conway, responding to MSNBC via text early Monday, denied the report, saying, "It is all false. And sexist."

1. Ruh Roh! Got some splainin' to do Kellyanne.

No problem. She'll probably be able to bull sh*t here way out of this one just like she has bullsh*tted her way with the joke we call news media for all these months.

2. It's only a matter of time until they all turn on each other.

I just hope the country can survive it.

27. Kind of reminds you of the French Revolution

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/robespierre-overthrown-in-france

On July 27, 1794 (9 Thermidor in the Revolutionary calendar), Robespierre and his allies were placed under arrest by the National Assembly. Robespierre was taken to the Luxembourg prison in Paris, but the warden refused to jail him, and he fled to the Hotel de Ville. Armed supporters arrived to aid him, but he refused to lead a new insurrection. When he received word that the National Convention had declared him an outlaw, he shot himself in the head but only succeeded in wounding his jaw. Shortly thereafter, troops of the National Convention attacked the Hotel de Ville and seized Robespierre and his allies. The next evening–July 28–Robespierre and 21 others were guillotined without a trial in the Place de la Revolution. During the next few days, another 82 Robespierre followers were executed. The Reign of Terror was at an end.

3. Just as I thought. There are virtually no lines of communication in the Trump Circus.

The left hand not only doesn't know what the right hand is doing but neither hand knows it is a hand instead of a foot.

7. While Revealing That Trump Insiders May Be Sexist. . .

. . .is like saying "water is wet", i'm not sure how these events are based upon sexism. Seems like if this were a guy going rogue on the Sunday morning talking head shows, that insiders would be equally furious.

Sounds like there is a power struggle, and she's one of the participants in the plays for power.

8. Headline for the next four years: Trump 'furious' over (insert any subject)

10. Is she saying Trumps aides are being sexist or the media's reports

[ronnie624]

14. I think she is saying the media reports are sexist, which is truly bizarre.

Clearly, the Trump 'movement' has attracted the most irrational elements of our political culture.

[Miles Archer]

12. False and Sexist, my favorite Vaudeville team of ALL time

Conway is in a rare class, in which gender has absolutely nothing to do with criticism of her. It's the words that come out of her mouth. Put her in a room, record her thoughts, run them through one of those voice synthesizers that makes her voice sound like a man, bring in a dozen random people who are not wearing "Make America Great Again" hats, and 12 out of 12 will ask "Who's that asshole?"

Seriously.

There is no way in hell that Trump is going to be OK with her even hinting at Trump making a misstep.

She said what she said, and documenting it isn't "sexist."

13. "You're fired."

15. Amateurs lead by an amateur. . . nt

[Equinox Moon]

16. Was she set-up to do this in the first place?

Really though, we don't know how this came to be. I am learning NOTHING can be believed. NOTHING. They all lie to us.

This is a chaos candidate/?elected and the chaos takes the light off of everything else.

[2naSalit]

18. I think that's the point.

[Red Oak]

19. The ConDon is going to spend the next four years being furious at everything.

The "before" and "after' Presidency pictures of his head will be most interesting.

21. "And Sexist"

She's gone.

32. Crying wolf!--and looking stupid also in this case.

[left-of-center2012]

23. If truly furious, he'll fire her

I bet she stays.

[evillemike2009]

24. Kellyanne's comments

The fact that people on staff are back-biting and fiercely competing against one another is absolutely in perfect keeping with the way Trump wants things to work.

He puts the scorpions in a bottle
The survivor gets (or keeps) the job
Trump believes he's absolved of the responsibility for making any decisions

These people are interested only in being as close to the feed trough as possible.
They have no honor, so they have no sense of duty to serve anything but their own ambitions.

26. 'Furious' is good.

Coping with Chaos in the White House

"'A few days ago, I wrote a post for my Facebook friends about my personal experience with narcissistic personality disorder and how I view the president elect as a result. Unexpectedly, the post traveled widely, and it became clear that many people are struggling with how to understand and deal with this kind of behavior in a position of power. Although several writers, including a few professionals, have publicly offered their thoughts on a diagnosis, I am not a professional and this is not a diagnosis. My post is not intended to persuade anyone or provide a comprehensive description of NPD. I am speaking purely from decades of dealing with NPD and sharing strategies that were helpful for me in coping and predicting behavior.'>>>
