CNBC Host Fumes Over Anthony Scaramucci’s Trump Take: Aren’t You ‘Embarrassed?’

CNBC’s Joe Kernen sparred with ex-White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Friday after he knocked his former boss, President-elect Donald Trump, for his “threatening” suggestions and rhetoric toward political foes.

Scaramucci, a frequent critic of the president-elect who famously had a 10-day stint in the Trump White House, said he didn’t “love” the “coarseness” on display by the campaign during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

Kernen responded by claiming the rhetoric “got heated everywhere” and Scaramucci himself “got pretty heated,” a claim that seemingly baffled the Trump critic.

“Joe, how did I get heated? What did I say, Joe?” Scaramucci asked.

Scaramucci questioned Kernen’s claim before the CNBC host fired back at him.

“Anthony, you have had an utter disdain for Trump. You’ll always be welcome at the table of legacy media and have people nodding as you trash Trump. That’s always going to happen,” Kernen told Scaramucci.

“But aren’t you the slightest bit embarrassed or at least humbled about how wrong you were about the feeling of most Americans, let me finish, for enthusiastically supporting a candidate who a majority of people had no business being anywhere near the Oval Office…”

Scaramucci, in an op-ed in Fortune magazine, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris last week.

Kernen noted that Scaramucci is a Republican and described Harris’ policies as an “anathema” to what he’s believed his whole life.

“Do you ever eat any crow? Not even, even a little crow wing, like a little capon?” he said.

Scaramucci, later in his CNBC appearance, sarcastically asked if Kernen wanted him to get on “bended knee” and declared that they have a “violent disagreement” on Trump’s personality.

“You like Trump, I was up close to Trump. I got to see the ugliness of what he is. And by the way, Joe, it’s not just me. There were 40 of us that worked for the president and were warning people —,” Scaramucci said.

“I think he’s been very good for your career, Anthony. I think he’s been incredibly good. You’re here, are you not? And you’re going to be welcome anywhere you want to go,” Kernen interjected.
