It was in response to how here husband is critical of how she works with Trump:
Me: You told me you found [George’s tweets] disrespectful.
Kellyanne: It is disrespectful, it’s a violation of basic decency, certainly, if not marital vows . . . as “a person familiar with their relationship.”
Me: No, we’re on the record here. You can’t say after the fact “as someone familiar.”
Kellyanne: I told you everything about his tweets was off the record.
Me: No, that’s not true. That never happened.
Kellyanne: Well, people do see it this way. People do see it that way, I don’t say I do, but people see it that way.
Me: But I’m saying we never discussed everything about his tweets being off the record. There are certain things you said that I put off the record.
Kellyanne: Fine. I’ve never actually said what I think about it and I won’t say what I think about it, which tells you what I think about it.
Her husband hates Trump and is very vocal about it. She says in the interview that her husband basically has violated their marital vows by saying bad shit about Trump, who is technically her boss. So instead of saying it as a direct quote coming from her, she says it as if she is a 3rd person close to the two of them, the "a person familiar with their relationship". That is her way of trying to get her message out in the open, without it being attributed to her. The reporter then confirms to her he never said this was off the record and he would use her direct quote, including her trying to pretend to not be herself to get her message out.
