Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci cautioned supporters of President Donald Trump against heckling a CNN reporter, saying the free press needs to be protected.
His comments came in a Tuesday night tweet.
This isnt our best, Scaramucci said. Its not who we are. I dont always agree and am often upset with journalists, but we are flashing warning lights now that we shouldnt be flashing. The free press needs to be protected as well as their opinions. Thats why that Amendment was First.
Scaramuccis remarks follow the heckling of CNN reporter Jim Acosta by Trump supporters in Tampa, Florida, where the president spoke on Tuesday.
The group chanted: CNN sucks and fake news while Acosta spoke with colleague Wolf Blitzer, according to The Washington Times.

When I hear the phrase “That’s not who we are”, it makes me want to grab a flame-thrower.
“The Free Press” started Heckling Trump the day he announced he was running for President
Speak for yourself, Noodles!
Americans are for Freedom. That includes the 1st Ammendment to peaceably demonstrate against the behavior of a reporter.
Oh shut up Scaramucci.
What's this "we", suck-booty?
You got a mouse in your pocket?

dfwgator,
I wholeheartedly agree!
“Not who we are.”
Please tell us then, who the HELL are you, Scaramucci? Jerk.
Meanwhile, I don’t hear the democrats saying, “That’s not who we are,” when there was booing at the mention of God in their convention.

No wonder he only lasted a week!
The free press needs to be protected as well as their opinions. .............................. That’s 95% of the problem, its all OPINIONS!
What a f@g....
So glad Pres Trump canned his dumb ass.
Lol! Who is coaching Scaramucci? Obama’s speechwriter? That was Obama’s trademark line, on everything from gun control to the national debt, the finger wag and the stilted “That’s not....who we are...as a people.”
I wouldnt put it that way. I would just say that chanting and heckling is for idiots. Leave that crap for the Left.
The guy didn't even last two full weeks.

You know “who we are”? Voters who are lied to on a daily basis by a fake “free” press that WE CLEARLY SEE LYING TO US.
1A, and FO Scaramucci!
Oblameo's favorite sound byte.
Well, he DID say at one time that he was a “Front Stabber’. So, there ya’ go.
LOL!
I know what you mean!
We sat around silently for a couple of decades and let the increasingly leftist media bully us, shape opinion, and generally demoralize the country.
Scar-a-moochy never noticed thats how bubbled up his cognitive faculties are.
Look where our silence got us. Thank God for Trump, who reminds us we have a voice.
This was at a Political Rally. The enthusiasm was high and the crowd was stoked.
The chanting and heckling was SUPPOSED to happen. There is nothing wrong with cheering for the home team and booing the bad guys.
You want reverence and respectfulness? Go to Church.
Yes it does, but the Deep State Swamp colluding Democrat media press cartel needs to be smashed with every single thing we can throw at it until it is destroyed.
CNN is an agent of our political enemies, and we should be trying to wipe it out with government power, with financial destruction, and intimidating it's soldiers.
CNN is not "free press." It's a weapon, and we need to either take it away from the enemy, or destroy it so they can't use it.
