Anthony Bourdain blasted Hillary Clinton as “shameful” and “disingenuous” over her comments on CNN about Harvey Weinstein.

In an interview with CNN host Fareed Zakaria set to air in full Sunday morning, Clinton said she was “just sick” over the Weinstein allegations.

“I was shocked. I was appalled. It was something that was just intolerable in every way,” Clinton said of Weinstein, who’s donated to both her presidential campaign and Clinton Foundation. “You know, like so many people who’ve come forward and spoken out, this was a different side of a person who I and many others had known in the past.”

Clinton added that while it wasn’t possible to give back Weinstein’s donations, she’d donate them to charity.

Bourdain – whose girlfriend Asia Argento claimed the fallen movie mogul forcibly performed oral sex on her in 1997 – bashed the former presidential hopeful in a series of tweets Wednesday.

“And I have to say, Hillary’s interview with Fareed Zakaria was shameful in its deflection and its disingenuousness,” the celebrity chef said.

“Know what Hillary Clinton is NOT? She’s not stupid. Or unsophisticated about the world. The Weinstein stories had been out there for years.”

He also added that she gave a “terrible response to questions about a ‘friend’ who’s been tormenting women for decades” – and said her interview was a “real disappointment” and “uninspiring.”

Clinton aides quickly came to their current or former boss's defense. Clinton's communications director, Nick Merrill, first told Bourdain to "get a grip."

Seriously @Bourdain, get a grip. She did an honest interview, condemned HW, is returning contributions. I’m tossing all my @LuckyPeach mags. https://t.co/YcShUYfX4t

Her former campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, told Bourdain to "go eat a scorpion."

Clinton adviser Adam Parkhomenko called Bourdain's comments "sad."

On Hillary Clinton’s wedding anniversary, @Bourdain had nothing better to do than attack her. Sad. https://t.co/LbeQzL8V7s

The Clinton aides also went after CNN media reporter Dylan Byers, who tweeted that Clinton should donate the Weinstein money on top of what she already gives to charity "in order to mean something."
