Hes an intentional liar who uses a methodology of mistruth.

Washington Post

Anthony Scaramucci, who served briefly as White House communications director last year, made headlines Wednesday when he called President Trump a liar during a CNN interview.

On Thursday, as he continued a media blitz promoting a new book about Trump, Scaramucci sought to backpedal. No, he said, Trump is not a liar. Hes an intentional liar who uses a methodology of mistruth with the aim of unsettling the mainstream media and the political left.

Scaramuccis parsing comes as Trump has increasingly been under fire for abandoning the truth.

Just in recent days, he has claimed without evidence that there were dangerous Middle Easterners mixed in a migrant caravan making its way toward the United States; that Congress which is out of session would deliver a middle-class tax cut by the end of the month; and that Republicans were more committed to protecting Americans with preexisting medical conditions than Democrats.

During the CNN interview, Scaramucci was asked if he considers Trump a liar.

Okay, well we both know that hes telling lies, Scaramucci responded. So if you want me to say hes a liar, Im happy to say hes a liar.

In media interviews on Thursday, Scaramucci wasnt so happy to say that.

They asked me if the president tells mistruths or lies, Scaramucci said of his CNN interview during an appearance on Fox News. I said he does intentionally lie to create a dog whistle and create some atmospherics ... So they go and put a little tagline, Scaramucci calls president a liar. Thats not what I was doing.

I didnt really say the president was a liar, he insisted. I said the president is using a methodology of mistruth to create that level of tension and anxiety. Hes like pushing the mainstream media and the left, and hes trying to galvanize his base, and its a media device.

During another television appearance Thursday, Scaramucci whose book is titled Trump: The Blue-Collar President pressed his case in a slightly different way.

Hes an intentional liar, Scaramucci said of Trump, while on Bloomberg TV. Its very different from just being a liar-liar.

Yes, the president is speaking mistruths, Scaramucci continued. Yes, the president is lying. Hes doing it intentionally to incite certain people, which would include left-leaning journalists and most of the left-leaning politicians.

Scaramucci said responses by the media and politicians have been ineffectual, comparing them to bullied schoolchildren who reach out to hall monitors for help.

If someones taking your lunch money in the cafeteria, if you call the hall monitor, its not going to help you, Scaramucci said. Instead, youve got to defeat the person at the table with your peer group.

I mean... he isn't wrong. Technically, I guess.

Trump likely is doing it on purpose to get the reaction he gets so he can call them out when he does "minor" things, so then when he does serious things, he can just use the image of a "petty media" against them.

But he was a fool who clearly never should have been there in the first place, and who only got hired because he had a big mouth and no sense. He didn't keep the job two weeks. Who needs to hear from him? What insights can he offer us? Why are we talking to him in 2018?
