Twitter Reacts To Anthony Scaramucci's Dismissal From The White House

It was a short, bumpy ride for Anthony Scaramucci's tenure at the White House. The Wall Street financier was named as the new White House communications director ten days ago, and President Donald Trump on Monday decided to remove Scaramucci from his role.

Scaramucci was seen as a smooth talker and seemed in his first press conference like he would be a stabilizing force in the White House. However, Scaramucci on Wednesday called New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza and demanded in a profane tirade to know the name of his anonymous White House sources. Lizza refused, and Scaramucci went on to complain vulgarly about White House Chief-of-Staff Reince Priebus — who was removed Friday — as well as White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” Scaramucci told Lizza. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.”

The decision to remove Scaramucci reportedly came at the request of new Chief-of-Staff John Kelly, who was installed Monday.

Jokes flew around Twitter on Wednesday after the dismissal of the boisterous Scaramucci.

Scaramucci, whose nick name is “the Mooch,” took dings for his extremely short tenure.

Scaramucci also caught heat from the right from people like conservative commentator Ann Coulter.

Adding to the general chaos was the fact that Sean Spicer, the former White House press secretary, resigned in protest over Scaramucci's hiring. But Spicer still technically works at the White House.

Scaramucci follows Priebus, whom he pushed out the door in a week of tumult for the White House, in his exit. In addition to his dismissal from his role in Trump's administration, Scaramucci also faced a number of widely publicized personal dramas.

Page Six reported Friday that his wife Deidre Scaramucci filed for divorce because of his “naked political ambition.” The Post also reported that Scaramucci had recently missed the birth of his child while serving Trump.

“Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a statement Monday. “Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give chief of staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best.”
