TRENTON -- Counselor to the president and New Jersey native Kellyanne Conway denied Tuesday claims by the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that she complained to them about her boss, Donald Trump, during last year's presidential campaign.

Conway's response came after the show's hosts, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, said on the air Monday that she privately complained about Trump. According to the hosts, Conway told them she would "need to take a shower" after propping up Trump in TV interviews.

But Conway took to Twitter to bat down the claims.

"My beliefs, commitments and loyalties are plain to see," she wrote in her tweeted statement. "The notion that I am serving for 'the money' or a 'paycheck' is absurd. As campaign manager, I made a fraction of what other consultants have made on unsuccessful presidential campaigns."

Conway joined the Trump campaign in August of last year, after the candidate she originally worked for, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, dropped out of the race.

She rapidly brought messaging discipline to campaign that had been plagued by public gaffes and became a fixture on morning newscasts throughout the campaign.

However, after Conway appeared on CNN in January to defend demonstrably false claims about the size of Trump's inaugural crowd, Brzezinski announced she would no longer book Conway on the show, citing doubts about her credibility.

On air last week, Brzezinski again assailed CNN for featuring Conway, who continues to serve as a counselor to the president, and accused the news network of "just doing politics porn."
