MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Monday said White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's "stupid" arguments on behalf of the Trump administration are making his "teeth hurt."

"Kellyanne Conway again just doing the inexplicable, saying the inexplicable, saying things ... that make my teeth hurt. When she's so stupid that they make my teeth hurt," Scarborough said on "Morning Joe." "Not her but the words that come of her mouth, when she's spinning talking about how Bob Mueller has, you know, given to Democrats."

Scarborough's comments come in response to remarks Conway made the day before, when she said that the White House intends to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller despite his investigation's team being largely comprised of Democratic donors.

"Even though he just hired his 16th person — many of them are Democratic donors, but we'll continue to cooperate and comply," Conway said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Multiple outlets reported late last month that the president's legal advisers are digging into Mueller’s team in an attempt to find possible conflicts of interest that the White House could raise. Trump’s lawyers, however, deny the reports that they are engaging in opposition research of Mueller and his team.
