“My reaction is shame on them,” Kellyanne Conway told host Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio’s “Kilmeade & Friends” Tuesday.

“I mean, the name-calling has reached a fever pitch and it just tells you, they’ve got nothing. They’ve got no game, Brian. They don’t have the issues that favor them, so they resort to what everybody does in the third grade, which is name-calling.”

Conway was responding to David Plouffe’s analysis of Trump during an NBC interview Sunday.

Plouffe, who managed Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaTwitter investigating automated image previews over apparent algorithmic bias Donald Trump delivers promise for less interventions in foreign policy Rush Limbaugh encourages Senate to skip hearings for Trump's SCOTUS nominee MORE’s 2008 presidential campaign and backs Clinton, diagnosed the GOP’s presidential nominee as a “psychopath.”

“[Trump is] basically a psychopath running for president,” said Plouffe, who also served as a senior adviser in Obama’s administration. "He meets the clinical definition."

“Well, listen, grandiose notion of pathological lying, lack of empathy and remorse,” he added of possible symptoms.

Conway on Tuesday said Plouffe had gone too far.

“Politics is not a tea party, it’s rough and tumble, we get that,” she said. “But to go out there and do guilty by association and accuse people of having malice in their heart towards other people with no evidence and then to do exactly what the American Psychological Association has asked people not to do, which is to certify somebody as ‘mentally unfit’ or ‘a psychopath,’ it’s just beyond the pale.”

Trump and his allies have gone after Clinton's ability to serve as president, both mentally and physically. At a rally in early August, Trump jumped on the Democratic nominee's remark that she had "short-circuited" and misspoke when answering questions about her personal email server as secretary of State.

"She took a little short-circuit in the brain," he said, also calling her "unstable" and "pretty close to unhinged."

A top Trump spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, said in a recent TV appearance that Clinton has a rare brain disease called dysphasia which is caused by brain damage.

Conway said Tuesday the media is making matters worse for Trump by covering the billionaire unfairly.

“Donald Trump is called every name in the book plus before he gets out of bed in the morning,” she said. "And yet that’s justifiable, that’s acceptable.

“[Reporters] are challenging each other to cover him more aggressively because they believe he shouldn’t be commander in chief,” Conway added. "Guess what folks? That’s not their job. Their job is to report the news to you and not decide who should or shouldn’t be president and try to make that conclusion a reality.”

Chuck Todd, the host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” questioned Plouffe’s qualifications for diagnosing Trump during their discussion Sunday.

Plouffe acknowledged he lacks the medical credentials to make such an assessment.

“Right, I don’t have a degree in psychology,” he said.
