MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Tuesday blasted White House counselor Kellyanne Conway for claiming President Trump had "full confidence" in Michael Flynn hours before the national security adviser resigned.
“She goes out and lies, and you find out about those lies a couple hours later,” Scarborough said on "Morning Joe."
