Joe Kernen wasn't having it with the former White House communications director after he knocked the president-elect's rhetoric.
CNBC’s Joe Kernen sparred with ex-White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Friday after he knocked his former boss, President-elect Donald Trump, for his “threatening” suggestions and rhetoric toward political foes.
Scaramucci, a frequent critic of the president-elect who famously had a 10-day stint in the Trump White House, said he didn’t “love” the “coarseness” on display by the campaign during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Kernen responded by claiming the rhetoric “got heated everywhere” and Scaramucci himself “got pretty heated,” a claim that seemingly baffled the Trump critic.
“Joe, how did I get heated? What did I say, Joe?” Scaramucci asked.
Scaramucci questioned Kernen’s claim before the CNBC host fired back at him.
