Scaramucci defends Trump's 'Pocahontas' jab [View all]

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 11/28/17 08:29 AM EST

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci defended President Trump after he called Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) "Pocahontas" during an event honoring Native American Code Talkers.

"She's been nasty to him, and he's been concurrently nasty to her," Scaramucci said during an interview on CNN's "New Day." Scaramucci said when he's been a victim of racial slurring, he brushes it off.

"At the end of the day-- we're getting a little bit too micro-managing with each other's languages and the whole political correctness movement," Scaramucci said."I think most people in general are tired of it...I'm totally tired of it."

CNN's Chris Cuomo shot back, saying the country demands better from a president.
