Scaramucci: Trump should probably dial down the lying
The Hill ^ | 10/24/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 10/24/2018 11:05:05 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Wednesday accused President Trump of dishonesty, but said his lies were similar to those of any politician.

In an interview on CNN's "New Day," Scaramucci looked into the camera to address Trump and said, "You know, you're a politician now, so politicians lie when their lips are moving, and so all these people lie."

"But you should probably dial down the lying, because you don't need to," he added. "You're doing a great job for the country. So dial that down, and you'll be doing a lot better."

I was happy that Scaramucci didn't last very long as Trump's communications director. He seemed like a two-faced sleaze who would have been a disaster for the White House. Now his statements and actions prove those impressions to be true beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The Mooch is a smooth-talking sleaze ball. There are good reasons he only lasted 11 days as Communications Director.

I guess CNN pays its guests better than Fox?

Hasn’t Scaramucci embarrassed himself enough already?

Scaramucci is also a big advocate of gun control. He would have been another liberal mole in the White House had he lasted - it’s bad enough having Javanka there.

The Unemployment statistics?

The GDP?

Reductions in Food Stamp recipients?

Increased Military funding?

It was trumps predecessor that lied 24/7/365.25. Even about his own birth, identity. Citizenship, eligibility, etc. so far djt isn’t lying and the speaker really should have had some facts before just shooting off his mouth like that

Mooch is a sucker, the DNC-Media-Matrix is using him like a condom, and he will be discarded as such.

Trump is probably the only President since Reagan to make good on most of his campaign promises, or at least to make every effort to do so. As far as I'm concerned, that's the most important thing for a politician to be honest about.

What exactly is Trump lying about then?
Specific examples please, not just some general "I don't like what he's saying and how he says it" whining.

So he must have provided numerous examples to make such an outrageous claim. No?

It’s funny, but the Mooch doesn’t identify any such “lies” on Trump’s part.

Lying about what?

Exactly. That's what I keep asking - what is he supposed to be lying about? About a year ago I looked on the NYT's "List of Trump Lies" (or whatever it was called).. Most were Trump's opinion about something that the NYT didn't agree with.

When Trump says "pizza is the greatest food" (or whatever), it is not a lie, just because the NYT happens like hamburgers better. But they will write an 8 page article denouncing pizza & espousing the virtues of hamburgers.
