Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci is accusing Democrats of using Nazi tactics in their opposition of the Trump administration.

Appearing Monday on Fox & Friends, Scaramucci referenced protestors who gathered outside the home of White House adviser Stephen Miller, and said that Democrats are seeking to “dehumanize” their political opponents.

“The real irony is [Democrats] accuse the president of fascism, or somebody like Steve Miller [of] fascism, but the tactics they’re deploying are right out of Joseph Goebbels‘ playbook,” Scaramucci said. “You dehumanize your enemy, you disfigure your enemy, and then you create a mob support mass protest.”

Scaramucci added, “Rather than arguing on policy, the merits of a debating point, they’re going full bore on the ad hominem attacks. And that turns people off.”

The former White House communications director was asked how he’d handle being confronted in a restaurant in a manner similar to Kirstjen Nielsen and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Scaramucci said he hoped he could handle the situation as Sanders did, by leaving quietly.

“But I’m from Long Island,” he added. “I don’t know if I could handle it like that.”
