Sean Spicer resigned as White House Press Secretary Friday morning, one day after it was announced that Wall St. Financier Anthony Scaramucci was named the new White House Communications Director.
Spicer reportedly called Scaramucci’s appointment a ‘major mistake.’
Per the NYT:
Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to a person with direct knowledge of the exchange.
Spicer has had a reduced role in the communications office in recent weeks, as deputy WH Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has taken over most press briefings.

Melissa McCarthy unavailable for comment…
Jerome Corsi applauds it, ’nuff said. Orange God bringing in the four horsemen. Gonna get interesting …
It’s over… just a King and some pawns left. Mueller hasn’t lost a piece. But expect Trump to toss the chessboard over rather than concede defeat.. like the preschooler he remains.
Trolled by Maxine Walters ……
Drain the swamp. lol
A Fox News Channel contributor, railed against Trump on the network, calling him “another hack politician,” and criticized his “crazy rhetoric spinning everybody’s head around”.
Who was that?? Scaramucci.. yup… so fuckin’ funny.
Somehow I have a feeling this will be a short stint for Scaramucci. Next!
We are the narrative now. Haha.
Iron has it right once again. Who has ever given a fuck who is communications director ever before? Sarah has been ruling the media for weeks. Get used to it. Drain the swamp
