I’ve never read one thing about the Kushners promoting Scaramucci. Do you have a link?
Perhaps nowhere, however, has their influence been more subtle, and ultimately, more effective, than in the strange case of Anthony Scaramucci. The Mooch, as he is known, came on board as the White House’s communications director 10 days ago, with the full backing of the Trump-Kushners. It was Ivanka, after all, who sat alongside her father in the Oval Office on the eve of the official announcement of the Mooch’s ascendance, even as other senior White House aides, including former press secretary Sean Spicer (who resigned immediately after his appointment), former chief of staff Reince Priebus (who blocked Scaramucci’s appointment to various White House roles for months and resigned last Friday after public, profanity-laden lashings from the Mooch), and Stephen Bannon (who, despite his dismay, still remains in the West Wing), urged against the decision.
Kushner and Ivanka’s initial support for the Mooch, the kind of guy who would later describe Bannon as an erotic gymnast and Priebus as a “schizophrenic paranoiac” in a phone conversation with a New Yorker reporter, does not ostensibly jell with the meticulous, modern Orthodox, tailored-suit-and-updo image that the Trump-Kushners project. But the Mooch and the Trump-Kushners shared two important traits: an unyielding loyalty to Trump and a burning desire to see Reince Priebus go. For months, the Mooch had been feuding with the now-former chief of staff, who had blocked him from a role in the West Wing since January. (The Mooch described their relationship as brotherly when he first took the job; less than a week later, he clarified that they were brothers like Cain and Abel, where Cain killed Abel for God’s favor.) Less publicly, Ivanka and Jared had also been diligently pushing for Priebus’s ouster, according to a White House official.
