Fired White House comms director Anthony Scaramucci has lashed out at top President Trumpaide Steve Bannon as “insecure and paranoid” and “operating out of the shadows” in an interview with Page Six.
The Mooch, who famously lasted just 11 days in the job before he was fired by Trump, said that Bannon and former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus — who has since been fired himself — have created a climate of fear and distrust in the West Wing with their backstabbing tactics.
Speaking to Page Six after watching his interview with Stephen Colbert from his Midtown restaurant Hunt & Fish Club, Scaramucci said, “Priebus and Bannon were probably responsible for 60 percent of the leaking at the White House. It was a Priebus leak that the Secret Service escorted me out when I was fired. But that’s not the case. The protocol is that you are escorted out by one of the White House personnel. That was done to try to hit me and make me look like I’d done something nefarious. That’s how they operate, from the shadows.”
