Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Sunday that there are "elements" in Washington and the White House who are seeking to "eject" President Donald Trump.
Scaramucci. who served less than two weeks before getting fired in the wake of a profanity-laden interview with the New Yorker, appeared on ABC's "This Week" Sunday for his first interview since his dismissal.
Scaramucci discussed with host George Stephanopoulos the competing elements in the White House and how some people are afraid to tell Trump the truth, as well as the continuing problem of White House leakers.
Stephanopoulos said he felt Scaramucci was describing a "hornet's nest" of sorts within the Trump administration.
"The president is not a representative of the political establishment class, and so for whatever reason, people have made a decision that they want to eject him," Scaramucci said. "It's almost like he's opened up the door now for America's CEOs and America's billionaires to enter the Washington political system. The members of that political class do not like that."
Upon taking the job, Scaramucci had vowed to fire all White House leakers. Stephanopoulos asked him if Trump was fighting "an enemy within the White House."
"I think that there are elements inside of Washington, also inclusive in the White House, that are not necessarily abetting the president's interests or his agenda," Scaramucci said. "I absolutely believe that, yes."
"Nane names," Stephanopoulos said.
"Well, I named some names," Scaramucci said. "There's been some strategic changes, and my guess is there will be more strategic changes. I think the president's getting his arms around the fact that if he wants to prosecute his agenda, he's got to bring in loyalists to him."
Shortly before Scaramucci's dismissal, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who opposed Scaramucci's appointment, was forced out of his post and replaced by Gen. John Kelly. Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned upon Scaramucci's appointment, reportedly in protest.
Scaramucci waved off the idea that he was a "suicide bomber," instead comparing himself to the "Wolf" from the movie Pulp Fiction, a character who cleans up messy situations.
The man has a firm grasp of the obvious.
It probably would not be a good idea to piss off 63 million + armed individuals.
Left wing, right wing all part of the same corrupt elitist bird. It is a vulture.
But he’s anti Bannon. hmmm.
“Name names”
You stupid sanctimonious twit. You KNOW it and happily support a coup of the legally elected government just like a good little socialist.
If this had been brought up when Obama was in office (and it was) you would’ve bobbled your head in agreement and give examples (like you did)!
In 2014 two Princeton professors concluded that America is an Oligarchy:
“…Our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association, and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But we believe that if policy making is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America’s claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened.”
Pretty good for a Global Warminista.
Well, Snuffleupagous is on the list now.
Note how now they have Scaramucci on as soon as they can.
A more irrelevant guest can’t be imagined.
Did Reagan have to deal with this sort of garbage in 1981? I recall reading an article here about some character who served under Reagan early on who published a load of anti-Trump manure recently and that a Freeper talked about how after Reagan got rid of this guy (because he opposed and tried to undercut a good deal of what Reagan wanted to do), things ran a great deal more smoothly.
Golly gee, why haven’t I read about this before?
That’s interesting — because an oligarchy was exactly what the founders of this country envisioned when they set up a new government after overthrowing the British.
Trump is a threat to their re-making of America with new Americans.
They will stop at nothing.
If this had been brought up when Obama was in office (and it was) you would’ve bobbled your head in agreement

The only reason the Kenyanesian Usurper ever saw the inside of the Oval Office was that EVERYONE in the District of Corruption bobbled their head that someone who was not a natural born citizen could be sworn in.

What is most important to the Left? -- President Trump must never, ever, ever, ever be in a position to nominate another USSC justice, much less two or three.
While Kennedy can hang around for a while (though it is clear he really wants to retire), the Left can prop up (think "Weekend at Bernie's") Ginsberg and Stevens for, at best, a couple of years longer. President Trump's re-election would crush the Left. The only hold on national power they would then have then would be the GOP RINOs -- and hopefully their influence would be effectively neutralized by then as well.
“Mooch, the Wolf!!!”
I came here thinking Mooch was going to be about the Wookie saying this.
