Just because President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 race doesn’t mean the winning has stopped.
One of the side effects of Trump’s victory has been watching talking heads, pundits, news hosts and anchors get questioned on their previous coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris. Anthony Scaramucci was no different, as he discovered during a Squawk Box segment on CNBC.
Watch:
Anthony Scaramucci just got destroyed by Squawk Box’s Joe Kernen on CNBC:
“You will always be welcome at the table of legacy media and have people nodding as you trash Trump… but aren’t you the slightest bit embarrassed or at least humbled about how wrong you were…?” pic.twitter.com/pa7LenVjWs

Scaramucci called for unity following Trump’s decisive victory, but host Joe Kernen noted that this wasn’t the tune he was singing prior to the election.
“I hope we can put that rhetoric aside and we can move forward,” he said of the harsh things said on the campaign trail.
“The rhetoric got heated everywhere I think, you got pretty heated Anthony,” Kernen responded.
“How did I get heated? What did I say Joe?” Scaramucci challenged.
“About Trump?” the host asked, seeming stunned by the audacity of the question.
“Yeah, what did I say? I repeated what he was saying, and saying this is wrong.”
Kernen decided it was time to set the record straight.
“You have had an utter distain for Trump. You will always be welcome at the table of legacy media and have people nodding as you trash Trump, that’s always gonna happen. But aren’t you the slightest bit embarrassed or at least humbled about how wrong you were about the feeling of most Americans and for enthusiastically supporting a candidate who a majority of people thought had no business being anywhere near the Oval Office? And you’re a Republican. You saw all the different polices she was talking about are anaethma to what you’ve thought your whole life. And yet you went along with it. Do you ever eat any crow? Not even a little crow wing? I mean Michael Avenatti could still be on TV trashing Trump, you’ll always find a place on TV. If he wasn’t in prison, he’d still be on CNN, running for president with Brian Stelter. just give me a little bit, a little bit, Anthony, about how wrong you were,” Kernen ranted.
“Joe, first of all I immediately put out a congratulatory tweet. They won, we lost,” Scaramucci said.
“What would you like me to do, Joe? You want me to get on bended knee before you? That’s not even what America is about. We have a violent disagreement about lots of things related to Trump’s personality. You like Trump, I was close to Trump, I got to see the ugliness of what he is. And by the way Joe it’s not just me, there were 40 of us that worked for the president and were warning people,” he continued.
“I think it’s been very good for you career,” Kernen replied. “It’s been incredibly – you’re here are you not? And you’re going to be welcome anywhere you want to go.”
