Scaramucci Won’t Support Trump If Racism Continues

July 18, 2019 · 11:12 am ET · Leave a Comment

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNN that he would no longer support President Trump if his attacks on four freshman congresswomen continued, dubbing his former boss’s remarks “racist and unacceptable.”

Said Scaramucci: “They won last time, so it may be a winning campaign strategy, but it is against the idealistic values of America.”

He added: “It’s such a turnoff to a large group of people that you are running a risk that 15 percent of the people that you want to get you through that electoral map and back into the presidency say, ‘You know what? I love the policies, but I don’t like the ‘send her back’ rhetoric. I don’t like the racist rhetoric of sending people back to the homes that they came from.'”
