Scaramucci Just Melted Down Epically In An Interview With The New Yorker
HOLY CRAP!
*Warning this post includes a lot of profanity*
Anthony Scaramucci seemed to have a meltdown during an interview with The New Yorker on Thursday.
Scarammucci blasted Reince Priebus in a profanity packed tirade saying “Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac.”
“Reince Priebus—if you want to leak something—he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.”
Here is the key segment of the interview:
“Is it an assistant to the President?” he asked. I again told him I couldn’t say. “O.K., I’m going to fire every one of them, and then you haven’t protected anybody, so the entire place will be fired over the next two weeks.”
I asked him why it was so important for the dinner to be kept a secret. Surely, I said, it would become public at some point. “I’ve asked people not to leak things for a period of time and give me a honeymoon period,” he said. “They won’t do it.” He was getting more and more worked up, and he eventually convinced himself that Priebus was my source.
“They’ll all be fired by me,” he said. “I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I’ll fire tomorrow. I’ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus—if you want to leak something—he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.” The issue, he said, was that he believed Priebus had been worried about the dinner because he hadn’t been invited. “Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said. He channelled Priebus as he spoke: “ ‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’ ” (Priebus did not respond to a request for comment.)
He then turned his attention to Steve Bannon saying “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock.”
Here is that piece of the interview:
[He] also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he said, speaking of Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” (Bannon declined to comment.)
