Anthony Scaramucci was disinvited from speaking at a fundraiser for the Palm Beach County GOP over his recent criticism of President Trump’s “go back” tweets from over the weekend:
”He suggested the president’s comments were racist & that he was becoming a racist. Our board was infuriated. We believe the tweets were not racist, [Trump] is not racist…Scaramucci’s comments were unfair”
—Michael A. Barnett, Palm Beach Co. GOP chair https://t.co/EgPxv3bsHU— Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) July 18, 2019
Scarmucci had been critical of the president on Twitter. . .
Would @realDonaldTrump ever tell a white immigrant – whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th+ generation – to "go back to your country"? No. That's why the comments were racist and unacceptable.
America is a nation of immigrants founded on the ideals of free thought and free speech. ??????

. . . and even worse, on CNN:
“What the President needs to know…if he continues on that path…[is that] a glacier of support is going to break off and float away from him in a way that he doesn’t fully understand,” @Scaramucci, on the impact of the President’s words on his supporters. https://t.co/rs8zsAkFZV pic.twitter.com/CwZKTfIAOF

After getting disinvited, Scaramucci went on to say that Palm Beach County GOP Chairman Michael A. Barnett, who is black, condoned the “racist comments” and he questioned his “courage”:
Comment from @Scaramucci: “I am sorry that I was cancelled. Mike Barnett must like and condone racist comments. Someone with more courage and less political expediency would call it for what it is and ask it to stop.”
A twist: Barnett is black

Anthony might want to apologize for that one as we’re pretty sure Chairman Barnett doesn’t need racism explained to him.
