Scaramucci, a frequent Trump critic since his temporary stint within the White House, weighed in on his ex-boss’ xenophobic feedback which have been condemned for echoing the rhetoric of Adolf Hitler.
“He knows exactly what he’s doing,” stated Scaramucci when requested by CNN’s Abby Phillip why Trump retains saying a phrase “lifted” from the Nazi chief.
“He puts things out there, sort of with a forked tongue. He’ll say one thing and say, ‘Oh geez, I didn’t realize that that was from that,’ but he does know that it’s from that.”
The declare conflicts with a 1990 Vanity Fair story that described Ivana Trump – the previous president’s first spouse – noting that her then-husband learn a e-book of Hitler’s collected speeches and saved it “in a cabinet by his bed.”
Scaramucci informed Phillip that somebody wrote the “poisoning the blood” speech for the previous president realizing that “Hitler said it.”
“I do believe him that he has not read ‘Mein Kampf,’ OK, because I don’t think this guy has ever read a book … The joke on the campaign is that he’s written more books than he read,” he stated.
