Scaramucci goes after Bannon in explosive phone call
The Hill ^ | 07/27/17 05:33 PM EDT | Jacqueline Thomsen

Incoming White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci blasted chief strategist Stephen Bannon in a phone call with a reporter from The New Yorker Wednesday night.

“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own c--k,” Scaramucci reportedly told The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza, according to an account of the explosive phone call published Thursday.

“I’m not trying to build my own brand off the f---ing strength of the president. I’m here to serve the country,” Scaramucci continued on the call.

Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a very risky choice for communications director.

Nope.
This is just Trump being brilliant again.

He now has a hatchet man who can say anything about the under performing staff and The Chief is clean.

Not only that, Trump can cast himself as The Great Conciliator at any point.

The New Yorker absolutely hates President Trump.

You’re telling me Scaramucci goes on the record with one of their reporters and talks like this?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

If any of this is true?

I remain highly skeptical about any of this reporting!

Yeah, either Scaramucci is very good, or he’s poison. How many people pick major fights in their first week and turn out good? Scary pick.

First Priebus and now Bannon?

This is on the strange side.

Whose phone is tapped and is this conversation a canary? It’s too juicy to ignore by a leaker. Set up?

Yeah?

And what happens if Mooch goes ballistic like that on Jared or Ivanka?

Two words: “You’re Fired”

The guy seems nuts to me.

I think the issue might be that Trump wants to hire people he trusts. Unfortunately most of the people he knows are people like Scaramuchi.

I’ve long wondered if Trump is a recent Christian convert. When he speaks about God he speaks as a neophyte, like someone who is new to it but is really onboard.

It might’ve been a recent enough event that he hasn’t made a lot of new associates or friends, and most from his previous life are snakes.

I have no idea if there’s truth to this or not but it explains some things. It also explains much of his personal frustrations. The man needs our prayers, regardless if there’s truth in it.

Rather salty language for fly over country, I’d say.

Why is Scaramucci talking to the enemy like this?

Or is this just another Lying Leftist article with no basis of truth?

If the story is true, post it from a RELIABLE source. If it is not true, don’t post it.

‘Scaramucci reportedly told The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza’

So he ‘reportedly,’ said this. In fact, he might have done it. But it would be nice to have confirmation of it.
