Scaramucci offers advice to ‘liberal elites’: ‘Dial back the rhetoric’ against Trump supporters

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci is offering advice to the “liberal elites” who criticize President Trump and his loyal base.

“Dial back the rhetoric against these people, stop calling them the names, don’t refer to them as ‘deplorable,’ ” Scaramucci told “Profile by Buzzfeed News” on Sunday.

{mosads}”Figure out a way to re-embrace them, and we should be doing that in a bipartisan way,” he added.

Scaramucci is currently promoting his new book, “Trump, the Blue-Collar President,” which documents his upbringing, his brief stint in the White House and his support for Trump.

The former White House aide also said during the interview that Trump’s description of himself as a “nationalist” is an attempt to stick “a finger directly in the eye of liberal elite.” 

“He’s not a nationalist in the elite description of the word, the Orwellian description,” Scaramucci said.

“But he’s saying that also for a reason because he knows, the same way when he tells these mistruths or he hazes the truth or he puffs up something, he knows it’s sticking a finger directly in the eye of liberal elite and particularly liberals in the mainstream media,” he added. 

Trump has called himself a “nationalist” multiple times, sparking criticism over the term’s connection to white supremacy and xenophobia. Trump doubled down on the label during a recent press conference when a reporter asked him whether he believes he empowers white nationalists by using the term.
