   Scaramucci criticizes Trump's Charlottesville response and blames Bannon    
      
      
   Anthony Scaramucci, President Donald Trump’s short-lived former   
   communications director, on Sunday criticized the president’s response to   
   the weekend white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and blamed   
   strategist Steve Bannon’s “   
   nonsensical” influence for it.    
      
   Trump’s response to the rally, during which a car attack on a crowd of   
   counterprotesters left one person dead and more than a dozen others injured,   
   has been widely panned because he failed to call out the white supremacists   
   and instead condemned    
   violence and hate “on many sides.”   Some of the white supremacists who   
   gathered in Charlottesville proclaimed their support for the president.    
      
   The White House issued a clarification following the uproar Sunday saying the   
   president’s condemnation “of course … includes white supremacists, KKK,   
   neo-Nazis and all extremist groups.”    
      
   Scaramucci, who was fired after 11 days, told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in   
   his first interview since leaving the White House that he “wouldn't have   
   recommended” the initial statement.    
      
   “I think he needed to be much harsher as it related to the white   
   supremacists and the nature of that,” Scaramucci said on the Sunday morning   
   program “This Week.”    
      
   Referring to Trump's national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, he   
   said: “I applaud Gen. McMaster for calling it out for what it is.   It's   
   actually terrorism.   Whether it's domestic or international terrorism, with   
   the moral authority of the    
   presidency, you have to call that stuff out.”    
      
   Scaramucci attributed the president’s failure to do so to the fact that he   
   “likes doing the opposite of what the media thinks he's going to do” and   
   his “impression that there is hatred on all sides.”   But he said the   
   advisers around Trump need    
   “to be blunt with him,” and “I certainly would have never suggested him   
   doing that.”
