Anthony Scaramucci Spills On Why John Kelly Had To Push Back 'A Lot' Against Trump
HuffPost
The ex-White House communications director said Kelly has been "very, very concerned" about Trump for years.
Ex-White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said John Kelly was Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff because he was “so worried” about what the former president was doing in office.
Scaramucci, who famously had a 10-day stint in the Trump White House, spoke to CNN on Wednesday where he reacted to Kelly warning that Trump wanted “Hitler’s generals.”
“One of the things that he didn’t add in that interview was a lot of times he had to push the president back from doing things that were illegal or against the Constitution or even against the institution of the presidency,” said Scaramucci, who confirmed that Kelly fired him from his role in the White House.
“So, I applaud him for being out there.”
Scaramucci, who said he’s “close friends” with the retired U.S. Marine Corps general, has warned of Trump privately for “many years” and has been “very, very concerned” about the former president.
