Kellyanne Conway's microwave comments are too much for Fox News anchor Shep Smith

Fox News anchor Shep Smith has joined in the chorus slamming Kellyanne Conway for her recent suggestion that microwaves could be spying on you.

On his Monday evening show, Smith introduced Conway as someone who shouldn't be taken too seriously since her "previous words have been up for debate." He then showed a clip from The Bergen Record during which Conway said, "You can surveil someone through their phone, through their television sets ... microwaves that turn into cameras."

After showing that, Smith deadpanned a mock news alert. "Fox News can now confirm microwaves heat food. Cameras take pictures," he said, adding, "Microwaves do not turn into cameras."

Smith seems to have had it with Conway saying one thing and then reworking what she meant later. Especially since by Monday morning Conway was on CNN contradicting herself and explaining that she didn't think microwaves can spy on people.
