Anthony Scaramucci Tells Donald Trump: Dial Down The Lying
The Mooch told CNN, if you want me to say (Trumps) a liar, Im happy to say hes a liar.
By David Moye
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has some helpful advice for Donald Trump: Dial down the lying.
The Mooch made the rather obvious suggestion on CNN Wednesday morning after host John Berman questioned him on whether hed call Trump a liar.
I asked you: What do you call someone who likes to lie? You said a scoundrel, Berman said. Another thing you could call someone who likes to lie is a liar. Is he a liar?
Well, we both know that hes telling lies. So if you want me to say hes a liar, Im happy to say hes a liar, Scaramucci replied.
Scaramucci also tried to justify Trumps lies, saying they were similar to other falsehoods told by politicians.

Perhaps that's why he only lasted 9 or 10 days with Trump. One small rational move (bad-mouthing Bannon perhaps?) and it was all over.

(82,849 posts)4. "Similar to other falsehoods told by politicians"
It's just that Trump's lies set off mass killings and attempts at mass bombings. Otherwise, same-same.
