Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci defended President Trump after he called Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) "Pocahontas" during an event honoring Native American Code Talkers.

"She's been nasty to him, and he's been concurrently nasty to her," Scaramucci said during an interview on CNN's "New Day." Scaramucci said when he's been a victim of racial slurring, he brushes it off.

"At the end of the day-- we're getting a little bit too micro-managing with each other's languages and the whole political correctness movement," Scaramucci said."I think most people in general are tired of it...I'm totally tired of it."

CNN's Chris Cuomo shot back, saying the country demands better from a president.

1. "... micro-managing each other's languages ..."

Nobody's being accused of micro-managing another's language, Trump is a racist. That's all.

[underpants]

8. Uh yeah 8 years of "..BUT OBAMA WON'T SAY IT!!!"

Whether he said the mouthwords they wanted to hear or not.

4. How Would A Fifth Generation Italian Be Victim of Racial Slurring?

I'm only 2nd generation (dad was born here) and i've never heard such a thing.

He's just making that up. He's never been a victim of anything.

6. Italians are often victims of racial slurs

Jake Tapper tweeted about it with respect to Scaramucci.

@jaketapper
People can and should evaluate @Scaramucci but the slurs about Italian-Americans are bigoted and self-defeating.

[angstlessk]

9. Like white folks are insulted by the term 'cra**er'

[ProfessorGAC]

10. I've Never Experienced It

And one would have to be a blithering idiot to not know i'm italian if they heard my last name.

And, aside from that, i don't believe Scaramucci.

[oberliner]

15. That is good

I think probably someone in the public eye has a higher likelihood of encountering that sort of thing though.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Scaramucci Was In The Public Eye?

Before he took that job with the train wreck crew? And to repeat, i don't believe a word that guy says, so while you may be right, i don't think it applies to that idiot.

[oberliner]

20. For about a week

That's when I think he got those slurs that Jake Tapper was referencing.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Oh Come On!

You're being obvious, now!

[tenderfoot]

11. Going to bat for Scaramucci, Roy Moore, etc. what else is new.

So predicable.

[oberliner]

14. Going to bat for Roy Moore?

What are you talking about? He is one of the most despicable human beings on the planet, who, sickeningly, is probably going to be elected senator.

In terms of racial slurs, I think they are wrong regardless of the politics of the person on the receiving end. One would think that would be a universally agreed upon point of view here.

5. Privileged asshole tired of being called out for being an asshole

Shock

7. Fun fact about Pocahontas:

Her tenure as White House Communications Director was only ten days shorter than Scaramucci's.

12. . . . . . the country demands better of th President.

I’m not so sure. They elected him, after all.

[ismnotwasm]

13. Scaramucci; Fuck you you fucking fuck

If I fucking wanting a fucking lesson on fucked up micro-management of fucking language, the fucking last person who fucking needs to yap about it is you. Shut the fuck up.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Kind of Subtle, Don't You Think?

I mean, say what you are really thinking!

[ismnotwasm]

21. I figure Id use words he understands

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Well Done!

Indeed!

[gratuitous]

17. "She's been nasty to him"

Sadly, Mr. Scaramucci didn't have any time to actually recount any instances of Sen. Warren being nasty to President Trump; I guess we'll just have to take his word for it, because Chris Cuomo obviously wasn't prepared to ask him for any examples.

I mean, gee whiz, how can we expect multi-millionaire journalists to be ready to ask their guests questions based on what they say? You'd have to be some kind of super-duper question-at-the-ready person to be able to do that!

I guess we should be happy and satisfied with Cuomo saying that the country demands better from a president. Even if we obviously don't.

[blugbox]

19. Which is it?

Huckleberry says it's not being offensive, but Mooch says it's being concurrently nasty... They need to get their story straight.

[herding cats]

24. Digging deep for defenders aren't they?

They're reduced to using the one-week-before-he-was-booted-to-the-curb WH Press Secretary to defend Trump. Sad!
