Scaramucci Before Ouster: Pence 'Can't Believe What The F*ck Is Going On'
By MATT SHUHAM Published AUGUST 9, 2017 11:56 AM
Before his sudden departure as communications adviser on July 31, Anthony Scaramucci implied in an interview that Mike Pence’s new chief of staff was hired to protect the vice president from the political turmoil roiling the Trump administration, perhaps to set up a bid for the presidency in 2020.
In an interview with the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza — the very same interview in which the Mooch said White House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s self-regard was comparable to a stunning feat of bodily gymnastics — Scaramucci called attention to the man Pence announced as his new chief of staff on June 29, Nick Ayers.
“Why do you think Nick’s there, bro?” Scaramucci asked Lizza, referring to Ayers. “Are you stupid?” Scaramucci continued. “Why is Nick there? Nick’s there to protect the vice president because the vice president can’t believe what the fuck is going on.”
Lizza published the quotes on Tuesday.
