The new White House Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci, whose hiring led to the resignation of Press Secretary Sean Spicer, has wasted absolutely no time in getting on the President's good side by expressing his "love" for Donald Trump, whom he called a "hack politician" in 2015. Hours after it was announced that he was appointed, Scaramucci stood behind the podium during Friday's White House press briefing and proclaimed his "love" for Trump and his administration.
"I love the President and I'm very, vey loyal to the President and I love the mission that the President has," Scaramucci, who is also called "the Mooch", said. "The President has really good karma." Scaramucci, 53, currently serves as the senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at the Export-Import Bank. He will officially begin in his new role on August 15. A Wall Street personal, Scaramucci reiterated his admiration for Trump and his administration over and over again during the briefing while speaking to reporters about his excitement level in taking over the job. He referenced the word "love" so much during the briefing that CNN compiled a mashup and played it on air. Scaramucci called Trump a "hack politician" in 2015 as at that time he was supporting Republican presidential candidates Scott Walker and Jeb Bush. During an appearance on Fox Business in 2015, Scaramucci called Trump a bully whose campaign would "eventually implode". He had also accused Trump of engaging in "anti-American rhetoric". Scaramucci had also challenged Trump to criticise him, saying he'll be the president of the "Queens County bullies association".
