Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Friday that his former colleague, Steve Bannon, has white nationalist "tendencies" due to his association with Breitbart News.

"I would say that he has those tendencies," Scaramucci said Friday during an appearance on "The View" when asked whether Bannon, recently ousted White House chief strategist, is a white nationalist.

Bannon has long faced criticism for his claim last year that Breitbart, the news organization he presently chairs, is a "platform for the alt-right."

Scaramucci pointed to Bannon as one of his least-favorite aides in the White House. Before he was fired from his White House job, Scaramucci used vulgar terms to blast Bannon in a profanity-laced tirade to a reporter.
