After Trump’s Attack, Scaramucci Fires Back Again

Everything started when Scaramucci appeared on MSNBC and, in an effort to appeal to their audience, attacked the president.

“So, look, the president didn’t do well on the trip. He probably would be mad at somebody for saying that,” he said in reference to the president’s trip to El Paso.

“Maybe he’ll tweet something negative about somebody for saying he didn’t do well,” he said, anticipating the president’s response.

“But the facts are he did not do well on the trip because if the trip is being made about him and not the demonstration of compassion and love and caring and empathy for those people,” he said.

“Then it becomes a catastrophe for him, the administration, and it’s also a bad reflection on the country,” he said.

President Trump responded by tweeting:

Anthony Scaramucci, who was quickly terminated (11 days) from a position that he was totally incapable of handling, now seems to do nothing but television as the all time expert on “President Trump.” Like many other so-called television experts, he knows very little about me other than the fact that this Administration has probably done more than any other Administration in its first 2 1/2 years of existence. Anthony, who would do anything to come back in, should remember the only reason he is on TV, and it’s not for being the Mooch!

Scaramucci decided to fire back again at the President this morning:

“For the last 3 years I have fully supported this President,” Scarramucci said on Twitter early Sunday. “Recently he has said things that divide the country in a way that is unacceptable. So I didn’t pass the 100% litmus test. Eventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country.”

Scaramucci was ousted from his job as White House communications director in July 2017 after a chaotic 11-day stint. In the years since, he hasn’t hesitated to criticize the administration while appearing on television talk shows.
