Lunch with Anthony Scaramucci
April 6, 2018 at 11:22 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Former White House communication director Anthony Scaramucci has set a high standard for interesting interviews, but this lunchtime exchange with
Edward Luce raises the bar.
Since I am at Scaramuccis special booth, the staff is highly attentive. I can tell this is going to be a bloody nightmare, Scaramucci says as he strides in. He is dressed casually in green slacks and a dark sweater. Not at all, I protest. We will have a conversation and I will write it up. Which part of England are you from? Scaramucci asks me. Originally from near Brighton, I reply. Are you gay? he asks. Somewhat thrown by the question, I start to mumble that I am not but that some of my best friends are, and . . . I dont give a shit, he interrupts. Im just curious. There are a lot of gays in Brighton, right? I have little chance to weigh up Brightons sexual demographics before he interrupts again: Thats something I get no credit for, by the way, he says. I have been for equal opportunity in gay marriage for the last 12 or 13 years.
We havent even ordered, but I am already losing control over the conversation.
