Fox News host Jesse Watters asked former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci whether he was jealous of fellow White House alum Sean Spicer’s turn on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars.”

Scaramucci made an appearance on Saturday night’s episode of “Watters’ World” to discuss his recent 180-degree turn from a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump to a vocal critic. (RELATED: Andy Ngo And Jesse Watters Break Down Hate Crime Hoaxes In The Trump Era, And Why People Commit Them)

“I can’t believe I was let back in the building,” Scaramucci laughed as Watters introduced him. “I also said Trump-noble like a nuclear meltdown, but go ahead, what do you want to talk about.”

“I know you are jealous of Sean Spicer for going on ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ won’t you just admit that?” Watters cracked, to which Scaramucci fired back, “I don’t know how to dance. I wish him well on that show.”

“You are saying you may even vote for a Democrat in 2020,” Watters redirected.

Scaramucci interrupted, correcting Watters. “I never said I was going to vote for a Democrat,” he said. “The Republican operatives put out false information that I was at a Biden fundraiser, I was not. I was at a children’s fundraiser in the Hamptons where Vice President Biden came spoke and accepted an award. No, I said, ‘Let’s see what happens,’ I don’t like answering hypotheticals.”

Scaramucci then turned his attention on Trump, saying, “This guy is no longer suitable to be president. He’s acting completely nuts. And he’s very unstable.”

“Let’s go over the last two or three weeks. He attacks the FBI unmercifully since he started. He’s going after Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve,” Scaramucci continued. “He said who’s the worst enemy of the people, President XI and Jerome Powell and the list goes on and on.”

Watters interrupted, “I understand that. But the president has always been like that. This isn’t a new type of behavior. I don’t think that he’s become way worse. He’s always been chaotic. He’s always punched back hard.”

“I know you are gonna defend him,” Scaramucci protested.

“I’m not defending him,” Watters pushed back, pointing to Scaramucci’s abrupt turn from Trump-supporter to critic. “I’m worried about you.”

“Yeah, I praised the president. I was one of those guys who praised the president. Went to war for him, gave him money, gave him family time and energy,” Scaramucci conceded, adding, “He turned on me. He turned on me.”

“Didn’t you turn on him first?” Watters asked.

“Of course not,” Scaramucci argued. “I was on the Bill Maher show saying I support him on these issues, but the racism, the full-blown racist tropes against the congresswomen, sorry I can’t defend that. The very next day he attacked me, then he went after my wife, who’s a civilian. He’s a fascist, he’s going after individual private citizens.”

“Who’s a fascist?” Watters asked.

Scaramucci replied, “Trump! The first thing in the fascist manifesto is going after private citizens, using your political power. He attacked my wife on Twitter. He’s a disgusting …”

“He’s not a fascist and you know better than that,” Watters fired back. “I think you are getting used by the media — I’m not in the tank. I think he’s a good president. I’m a little worried about you.”

Scaramucci warned Watters several times to tread carefully, suggesting that Trump might one day turn on him as well.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
