Scaramucci: A Large Coalition of People -- Including Me -- Will Stop Supporting Trump Over Racism

Scaramucci: A Large Coalition of People — Including Me — Will Stop Supporting Trump Over Racism

By Ken MeyerJul 18th, 2019, 8:33 am

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci warned President Donald Trump Thursday that he and many other supporters will abandon him if he continues to engage in racist rhetoric.

-snip-

“Would you still support him?” Camerota asked. “If he continues with these tweets, he would lose your support?

“not just my support,” Scaramucci answered. “He has friends of his in the White House that are working for him that are telling reporters ‘These tweets are racist, but I can’t say anything because I got to keep my job.'”

This led to Camerota pressing Scaramucci on what exactly is his breaking point if he truly believes Trump’s remarks are racist. Here’s a taste of how that went:

Scaramucci: “Don’t make it a moral question.”

Camerota: “It is a moral question.”

Scarmucci: “For me it will eventually be a moral question. But he’s not a racist.”

Camerota: “But his Tweets are racist.”

Scaramucci: “The Tweets are racist, yeah. . And by the way the friends would tell him the truth would tell him the tweets are racist. But again, I don’t believe he’s a racist."

If it walks like a racist, talks like a racist, tweets like a racist, it's a racist.

Scarmucci knew of Trump's racism for years, it's not Trump's new more overt racism that's a problem for him, it's the fact that society is viewing anyone who still supports Trump now as racist. Scarmucci had no problem supporting a racist as long he could have barely plausible deniability.

I am happy to hear about anybody that won't vote Trump if they voted Trump in 2016. If he votes Libertarian or another 3rd party, that's one less vote for Donny Dollhands
