Anthony Scaramucci gave his first interview as White House communications director to Breitbart's Matt Boyle. The two sounded like old friends, with Scaramucci kicking off the early-morning SiriusXM's "Breitbart News Saturday" interview by jokingly asking Boyle, "Did you send your job application form in yet, Matt?...Do you need my email so I can get your resume over here?"
Boyle laughed and replied: "Anthony, I'm honored, maybe we can talk about that later." Scaramucci praised Breitbart for capturing "the spirit of what is actually going on in the country, where there's a large group of people...who've been disaffected from the economic franchise." (FWIW: I asked Boyle whether he'd seriously consider a job in the White House press shop and he declined to comment.)
Between the lines: Sean Spicer had a terrible relationship with Breitbart, the right-wing outlet whose alumni, including Steve Bannon, now work in the White House. Scaramucci now appears to want to elevate the outlet in general, and Boyle in particular. By giving Boyle (Breitbart's most unrestrained attack dog) such prominence from the outset, Scaramucci is signaling that the President wants to make better use of conservative/friendly media outlets to transmit his messages without a critical filter.

Good, I am pleased to hear that.
Scareaschumer is a definite improvement.
Me too. Here’s the rest of the article for the cootiephiles who don’t like Axios:
Interview highlights:
Breitbart First: Scaramucci told Boyle that he and the President talked Friday about the fact that there are “enough outlets, whether it’s Breitbart, the President’s social media feed, all of the different apparatus that we have where people will allow us to deliver our message to the American people unfiltered.”
Fresh start: Scaramucci also called his appointment a “fresh start” and said he wanted to see if he could “de-escalate” tensions with mainstream media outlets.
Bonding over “fake news”: At the end of the interview Boyle asked Scaramucci how he planned to “combat” the “fake news” given he was a “victim of fake news” recently on CNN. Boyle was referring to CNN’s recent retraction of a story about Scaramucci, which resulted in CNN management firing three employees. Boyle wrote more than a dozen pieces bashing CNN during that period. Scaramucci said to Boyle: “You’ve also been a great help in terms of exposure and I do appreciate what you did for me during that incident...I want to thank you publicly in front of your listeners.”
Well, he came out swinging today. So far so good.
Scaramucci was a fund raiser for Barack Obama in 2008.
I am deeply suspicious of grown men who undergo a political transformation after age 45.
If Scaramucci travels around the country for the next few years giving heartfelt inspirational Conservative speeches like late-in-life GOP convert Ronald Reagan did, then I will believe him, but not before.
Maybe he’s had an epiphany, or more likely he’s doing what his boss told him to do.
Time and again, we’ve seen solid conservatives ‘go native’ once they’ve been in DC for a while. Lindsey Graham and Joe Scarborough come to mind.
De-escalate?
The MSM have created 100% of the tensions!
Has Trump lost his mind?
One of the most important factors in Trump's victory was that Trump was the first GOP national leader since Newt Gingrich who was willing to fight back against the Democrats and the MSM.
This is not right. Only CNN and Mika are authorized to tell the people what to think.

Nobody who made a lot of money in New York is a “conservative”.

Good work, PP.
DJT - he’s working hard to see that the machine will never take over this country. Like John Henry, a mighty sledge hammer and laser sharp vision will be needed. He is now has his hammer.
It's made of American steel, deep manufacturing skill and is very strong. It spews smoke and steam to taut the Lefties. It moves relentlessly forward as the cow catcher knocks Fake News reporters off the track so the train can reach the MAGA destinations.
Maybe this is why I like these fantasy images. It allows you to make a statement that is felt, sometimes stronger than words, but certainly more memorable than talking heads.
You should check out Bill Mitchell, V K. For your fist taste, I recommend you download this podcast I heard yesterday. I think you're going to like the analogies and imagery he uses to talk about Trump. He's a fast talker, but it's entertaining because he's usually got one or two other people in a conversation with him.
