Fox News anchor Shepard Smith seems to have reached his limit of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway. 

Smith said Monday, “We really don’t quote [Conway] much anymore because, well, history,” as he reported on her explanation of “microwaves that turn into cameras.”

Conway made the widely mocked comments when asked about President Donald Trump’s accusation that former President Barack Obama had “wiretapped” Trump Tower before the election. 

She called microwave/cameras “a fact of modern life.”

Smith was having none of it. 

“Microwaves do not not turn into cameras. Fox News can now confirm microwaves heat food,” he said. “Cameras take pictures.”

Conway later walked back those comments, claiming she was speaking “about surveillance articles in news & techniques generally, not about campaign.”
