President-elect Donald Trump will meet for a second time with former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday to vet him as a potential secretary of state, despite scathing attacks from the woman who ran his successful White House campaign.

Trump is reportedly 'furious' at Kellyanne Conway for publicly slamming Romney in a series of television interviews on Sunday.

Jason Miller, a Trump spokesman, told reporters the news during a conference call Monday morning.

'I think with the case of Governor Romney, the two quite frankly hadn't spent that much time together,' Miller said. 'And so this gives them a little more time to do so.'

'But when the president-elect is ready to announce a decision, then he will do so.'

A CNN reporter tweeted late in the afternoon that Trump and Romney will have dinner Tuesday night in addition to their second meeting.

Still smiling: Kellyanne Conway was at Trump Tower on Monday after claims the president-elect was 'furious' at her attack on any move to appoint Mitt Romney

Kellyanne Conway, who helmed Trump's successful presidential campaign, lashed out at Romney on Sunday, saying that conservatives who elected Trump would 'feel betrayed to think that a Governor Romney would get the most prominent cabinet post after he went so far out of his way to hurt Donald Trump'

Donald Trump and Mitt Romney shook hands on Nov. 19 after a meeting at the president-elect's golf course in New Jersey, and they'll sit for a second time on Tuesday to discuss Romney's potential to become secretary of state

MSNBC 'Morning Joe' co-host Mika Brzezinski said Monday morning that some senior Trump aides are angry over Conway's decision to unload on Romney during an interview Sunday morning on CNN.

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

Conway shot back a few hours later, calling the report 'sexist' in a statement that co-host Joe Scarborough mentioned on the air.

Brzezinski had reported that 'Kellyanne went rogue at Donald Trump's expense at the worst possible time, a source familiar with Trump's thinking said. 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".'

'One top transition aide said, "It's dangerous",' she said.

Scarborough updated the story later in the show.

'We have a response from Kellyanne Conway, who says about our reporting this morning [that] it is sexist. She says she can have any job she wants, and is thinking about taking a role inside and outside of the campaign,' he said.

'I want to know, is she suggesting that the people that she's working with, three people at the top of the Trump transition campaign are sexist? ... I don't understand.'

Panelist Mark Halperin of Bloomberg News snarked: 'I believe that if Reince Priebus had done what she did, people would be raising the same questions. As best I know, he's not a woman.'

Conway had blasted Trump on Sunday, saying on CNN that considering Romney as a potential secretary of state was a slap in the face of the anti-establishment base that elected him.

'It's just breathtaking in scope and intensity the type of messages I received from all over the country,' she said.

Conway said a large 'number of people who feel betrayed to think that a Governor Romney would get the most prominent cabinet post after he went so far out of his way to hurt Donald Trump.'

Scarborough called the move 'extraordinarily undisciplined' and cast Conway as an example of political 'children' who 'don't know how to play the game.'

'They should just probably be quiet.'

Scarborough supported the idea of Romney, who castigated Trump in March as 'a phony' and 'a fraud,' as a potential part of an Abraham Lincoln-style 'team of rivals' whom Trump could put in place so he could hear a constant flow of contrasting ideas.

Trump, in turn, has called Romney a 'choker' who failed to win 'a winnable race' in 2012.

Scarborough also cited Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama's first secretary of state, as an example. 'Remember, they were calling each other racists?'

Conway said she 'is all for party unity, but I'm not sure we have to pay for that with the secretary of state position.'

Conway defended her comments, saying on Twitter that she had also taken up the Romney issue with Donald Trump in private

She is not the only member of Trump's inner circle to complain about a potential Romney pick.

New York Rep. Chris Collins, a member of the transition team's executive committee, said Monday on CNN that Romney 'is a self-serving egomaniac who puts himself first, who has a chip on his shoulder, that thinks he should be president of the United States.'

'I mean, there’s no love lost between me and Mitt Romney. I’ve called him a loser for the last six months,' he added.
