Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that former White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly saved the country several times from former President Donald Trump’s “recklessness” and “lack of intellectual curiosity.” Guest anchor John Berman said, “So, in this post, we’re talking about today, you saw the former president attack Bill Barr, John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney.

He does not like this. He is stressed about it.” Scaramucci served in his White House role for just 11 days in July 2017, before being dismissed...

VIDEOThe World Economic Forum has been furiously scrubbing its website of any reference to FTX with which it was closely associated before the yuuuuge crypto financial scandal hit involving Sam the Scam Bankman-Fried. However, I managed to grab these clips of Anthony Scaramucci hyping FTX before the WEF had a chance to scrub it.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the collapsing cryptocurrency company FTX, along with two others associated with the company, director of engineering Nishad Singh and co-founder Gary Wang, are "under supervision" in the Bahamas after the trio reportedly were planning on fleeing to Dubai. According to Cointelegraph, "Right now three of them, Sam, Gary, and Nishad are under supervision in the Bahamas, which means it will be hard for them to leave."

On Saturday, MSNBC host Tiffany Cross broke all the usual rules about how anti-Trump Republicans are used. She invited former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci on her show to ambush him. Cross began by showing a typical old clip of Scaramucci expressing his love for Donald Trump, which she claimed showed he has been "radicalized." She then proclaimed that she didn't want to "sanitize" him, suggesting that he is an "opportunist," who flipped from Trump supporter to Trump foe, and would turn again when the next opportunity arises. MSNBC never plays this game with its cast of turncoat McCain veterans like...

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci blasted President Donald Trump as 'the domestic terrorist of the 21st century,' comparing him to Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh. Scaramucci, who lasted just 11 days in Trump’s administration, denigrated his former boss in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper Thursday night. When asked if Trump will leave office quietly Scaramucci said: 'He incited a riot, he incited an insurrection. He’s arguably, at least in the 21st century, you could say Timothy McVeigh for the 20th century, but he is the domestic terrorist of the 21st century.'

In case anyone was wondering why Anthony Scaramucci all of a sudden has decided to make a pivot to Bitcoin, the 2020 returns for SkyBridge Capital could hold the answer.Scaramucci posted ugly numbers for 2020, with his fund losing 7.5% of its value - its worst annual performance since 2008.

Presidential debate moderator Steve Scully claimed through a statement by C-SPAN Friday that he believed his Twitter account was "hacked" after a tweet showing him reaching out to outspoken Trump foe Anthony Scaramucci went viral Thursday night. However, resurfaced tweets show that Scully has a history of blaming hackers for his social media posts. The "Washington Journal" host appeared to reach out to the former White House communications director, who has become a vocal supporter of Joe Biden, in the now-deleted tweet that read: "@Scaramucci should I respond to trump." Both the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) and C-SPAN have...

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on CNN that President Donald Trump’s Fox Business interview comments about former Vice President Joe Biden not lasting past a few months making Sen.

Joe’s not lasting two months as president.” He continued, “This monster that was on stage with Mike Pence, who destroyed her last night, by the way. Everything she said is a lie. They want to have thousands of people that...

We need a new nickname for Anthony Scaramucci. Forget "The Mooch." How about "The Vulture," or perhaps, "The Ghoul?" Appearing on CNN's New Day this morning, Scaramucci made the sickening suggestion that President Trump's COVID illness represents divine retribution. Or as Scaramucci put it: "This feels like Mother Nature is sending a message."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Those Harvard Law types sure have some wacky ideas . . . Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci—holder of the world record for shortest tenure as White House communications director—made a preposterous proposal on CNN's New Day this morning. [snip] In introducing the former Trump fan-turned-bitter-foe after being fired, co-host John Berman went out of his way to mention that Scaramucci is a Harvard Law grad: But within minutes, Scaramucci was suggesting something so absurd that it would have gotten him flunked out of a first-year course. The Mooch proposed that the Justice Department be taken out of the president's control and...

Anthony Scaramucci, who was once a Trump supporter and White House communications director, clashed Sunday night with Fox News' Steve Hilton, the host of "The Next Revolution," after he criticized President Trump for essentially failing at every turn in the White House and how there is a need to "re-engineer" the entire Republican Party. The tense exchange caught the attention of the president late Sunday who dismissed Scaramucci as a "loser" who made a fool of himself.

President Trump’s 4th of July remarks at Mount Rushmore, drew sharp criticism for what some deemed to be “divisive.” Companies have changed their logos, sports teams like the Washington Redskins are seriously considering name changes, and monuments and flags dedicated to Confederate leaders are being removed. Trump accused those demanding change of trying to wipe away history and criticized the media for labeling their opponents as “racist.” Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci blasted Trump’s rhetoric. Trump is “doubling and tripling down on full-on racism,” Scaramucci said “Just go read transcripts of the speeches he gave over the weekend....

Well the mainstream press is certainly excited. The giddy missives are still being published across the news spectrum as the announcement has gone out, courtesy of Axios, that there is another conservative political action committee formed to combat President Trump. This latest strongarm effort is called The Right Side PAC, and it is touted as being formed by former GOP operatives and influential Republican figures. Yea...hardly. This newest crank outfit is headed up by Matt Borges, the former head of the Ohio GOP. Borges has long been embattled with Trump and his influence can be summed up by the fact that...

Let's be clear: Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci wants you to know he isn't comparing congressional Republicans to Hitler—just to the people who collaborated with Hitler! Scaramucci was back on CNN this morning for one of his regular Trump-bashing fests with Alisyn Camerota. The Mooch is of course President Trump's quondam communications director, who, having been defenestrated after a tenure record-breaking for its brevity, has turned into one of the president's most bitter antagonists. Scaramucci vilified the congressional Republicans supporting President Trump as "Vichy Republicans," thus analogizing them to the French collaborators with the Nazis. That was too much even for...

"Mooch's Revenge" could be the working title for the series of interviews that CNN's Alisyn Camerota has conducted with Anthony Scaramucci. Since some time after President Trump fired him as Communications Director after a tenure that was record-setting for its brevity, Scaramucci has been carrying out a one-man vendetta against his former boss. And CNN will gladly book any Trump servant who will viciously turn on the boss. In today's installment, the Mooch: Found it "revolting" that Nikki Haley and Rick Perry had alluded to President Trump as "the chosen one." Said that people who praise Trump are "cowards," unlike...
