Scaramucci on W.H. Response to Death of John McCain: ‘I’m Not Surprised by It, But I’m Disappointed’

EXCERPT:

CAMEROTA: "I want to move on to something that you tweeted about John McCain. As you know the memorials for him continue and you tweeted this: 'Our flag is at half-staff. Honoring a veteran like Senator John McCain should be above politics and personal grievance.' Were you disappointed with the delay in the president lauding John McCain and what seemed like for about two days, some personal grievance?"
SCARAMUCCI: "Yeah, listen I’m not surprised by it, but I’m disappointed. I would disagree with it and I think the smartest advisers around the president the ones that like him the most would tell him the truth about something like this. You can’t take a veteran like John McCain, five and a half years in the Hanoi prison, all the things he has done for the country, even if you dislike him personally, you dislike him personally, you dislike the things he said about you, as the commander-in-chief of the United States. And me personally I have traveled, Alisyn, to Afghanistan and Iraq, on troops support missions, and I've been all over the world with the American military and the American Navy, it's a slap to all the veterans, and I ultimately think whether it was General Kelly or others inside the White House, they encouraged the president to change his point of view on this thing, because it is a slap to the veterans."
