Mick Mulvaney says he and President Donald Trump ‘joked’ about a 2016 video in which the next acting White House Chief of Staff calls his future boss a ‘terrible human being.’
Mulvaney, who has served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget, appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, where he was asked about the now-viral clip.
‘Look, I think what's wrong with Washington, D.C. - people spend a lot more time looking at what people say instead of what they do,’ Mulvaney said.
Mick Mulvaney says he and President Donald Trump ‘joked’ about a 2016 video in which the next acting White House Chief of Staff calls his future boss a ‘terrible human being.’
Audio and video emerged of Mulvaney trashing Trump during the 2016 campaign – even as he endorsed him over rival Hillary Clinton. Mulvaney is seen right alongside his Democratic opponent, Fran Person, during the race for South Carolina's 5th Congressional District seat
The former South Carolina Republican says Trump ‘knows that I have been fighting with him to fight for ordinary Americans for the last two years.’
‘He likes having me around and I like working for him,’ Mulvaney says.
Trump this month tapped Mulvaney to serve as his 'acting' Chief of Staff, following an awkward search after his announcement that Chief of Staff John Kelly will be leaving shortly.
Soon after he revealed the choice this month, audio and video emerged of Mulvaney trashing Trump during the 2016 campaign – even as he endorsed him over rival Hillary Clinton.
It may have hit a nerve.
According to Axios, Trump recently asked an adviser, 'Did you know [Mulvaney] called me “a terrible human being” back during the campaign?'
The was a reference to a debate video where Mulvaney did, in fact, call Trump a 'terrible human being.'
Trump was 'furious' when he saw the video, according to the account.
It quoted a spokeswoman saying the recording was from before Mulvaney met Trump – implying it would not be a breach of friendship.

Immediately after the video surfaced, newly unearthed audio recordings revealed still more condemnation by Mulvaney.
As with earlier explosive video recordings, these remarks from 2016 include cutting comments by Mulvaney, a former House member, against the character and integrity of the man who tapped him to fill what is traditionally one of the nation's most powerful positions.
Mulvaney lamented that Trump had said 'atrocious things' on the infamous 'p****' tape that came out a week before the spoke in the newly uncovered radio interview, and said Trump should in no way be a model for his own daughters.
But incredibly, Mulvaney slipped the scathing comments into an endorsement of Trump, arguing he was the lesser evil in a choice between the GOP candidate and Hillary Clinton, who he compared to a 'man-eating lion.'
'Should either of these people be, be a role model for my 16-year-old triplets? No,' Mulvaney told South Carolina's Jonathon and Kelly show, which is broadcast by Clear Channel, CNN reported.
Mulvaney was also quoted as saying in 2015 that Trump’s idea for a wall along the border with Mexico were ‘childish’ and ‘simplistic.’
‘The fence doesn't solve the problem,’ Mulvaney said during an interview unearthed by CNN.
‘Is it necessary to have one? Sure. Would it help? Sure.
‘But to just say build the darn fence and have that be the end of an immigration discussion is absurd and almost childish for someone running for president to take that simplistic of [a] view.’
The comments emerged before the partial shutdown of the federal government, in part over Trump's demand for a border wall, with House Republicans bowing to his demand and inserting $6billion in new border funding that immediately ran into resistance in the Senate.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
