Anthony Scaramucci didn't hesitate to call a thing a thing.

During an interview on Wednesday night with Don Lemon, the former White House communications director rendered the CNN anchor speechless when he plainly stated that President Trump is indeed a white supremacist.

"You're asking the question of the night and the question of the last four years," Scaramucci said while discussing Trump's disastrous response to a request to condemn far-right groups such as the Proud Boys during Tuesday night's first presidential debate. "Why is that he cannot disavow white supremacist? Let me give you the answer because we always dance around it. [It's] because he is one. That's the answer."

Lemon, who takes Trump to task nightly on his two-hour talk show, was clearly shocked by the comment and asked Scaramucci to clarify his remarks.

"He is, of course he is," Scaramucci doubled down. "Think of his actions. Think of the way he handles himself. Think of the people he brings along with him in the crowd. Think of the way he ferments things."

The hedge fund investor who briefly served as Trump's White House communications chief has turned on the former reality star turned commander-in-chief.

"Now, he likes to split the participle and he likes to operate on both side of the table and give just enough to each side so that he can do it a little bit of a deceptive way, but that's what he is," Scaramucci furthered about his former boss.

"And so rather than us dancing around it, let's just hit it right exactly what it is," he advised. "Why don't we just talk about it openly and then let's challenge it and then let's see where he goes with it."

Scaramucci - who was fired by Trump in 2017 less than two weeks into the job - has previously thrown his support behind former Vice President Joe Biden.

During the 90-minute debate moderated by Fox News' Chris Wallace, the candidates constantly interrupted each other, causing it to go off the rails.
