Speaking about former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, Scaramucci told a New Yorker reporter: "Reince is an f------ paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac." Scaramucci then parodied Priebus and said: "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."
In the same interview, he also went on to abuse White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon saying: "I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own c---.” Amid the buzz in the White House on who would be the new communications director, here's look at the potential candidates:
Kellyanne Conway
On the condition of anonymity, a White House staffer told the Daily Caller that Kellyanne Conway is being considered for the position of the next communications director.

Jason Miller
According to a New York Times report, Jason Miller could be a potential candidate for the position of communications director as the president has long wanted to include him in the Trump administration.
A communication strategist and a political manager, Miller was best known as the chief spokesman for Trump's presidential campaign. Born and brought up in Seattle, Miller has a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the George Washington University.

Meanwhile, Scaramucci was caught up in another controversy involving his estranged wife Deidre Ball. A Page Six report said Scaramucci’s wife of three years filed for a divorce due to the former’s closeness with Trump. However, Ball’s lawyer Jill Stone refuted the rumors saying: “I don’t know where that came from, but it is not accurate. It is a false fact,” according to a People Magazine report.
“Ball is not a fan of Trump and she hasn’t exactly been on board and supportive of Anthony and his push to get back into the White House,” a source told the magazine.
