Anthony Scaramucci's "Expiration Date" and More Batsh*t-Crazy Things He Revealed to Colbert
Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has become a household name in the wake of his incredibly short time on Donald Trump's staff, and when he sat down with Stephen Colbert on Aug. 14, the host of the late-night TV show was not about to let him off easy. Colbert introduced Scaramucci as "the shortest-tenured communications director in White House history," and they went on to discuss Trump's reaction to the white supremacy violence in Charlottesville, Scaramucci's thoughts on President Trump generally, Steve Bannon, and The Mooch's "expiration" date in the White House.
Stephen Colbert's "Bohemian Rhapsody" Parody Is the Best Way to Bid Farewell to Anthony Scaramucci
While Colbert promised Scaramucci he wouldn't ask him any rapid-fire "gotcha" questions, he had to ask one. "Nazis: good or bad?" Colbert asked.
"Super bad," Scaramucci responded.
Well, he definitely got that one right. Check out some of the most batsh*t comments from the episode below, or watch the interview in full above (and prepare to be completely mind-blown at the conversation between the two either way).
- On how Trump is compassionate: "It's a super tough job. He made a step to give up what was a luxurious lifestyle."
- On Trump's lack of condemnation of the Charlottesville violence: "It was late, I'm not going to say that it wasn't, but he did go to the White House today and he did make a statement. It was very declarative . . . . Let's be fair to him, he did condemn the Nazis today."
- On what it was like working in the White House for 10 days: "It's a tough place, there was a lot of infighting."
- On Steve Bannon's role: "I've said that [I think he's a leaker] . . . . Well, if it was up to me, he would be gone, but it's not up to me."
- On Steve Bannon and whether he's a white supremacist: "I don't think he's a white supremacist, though I've never asked him. What I don't like is the toleration of it. It's something that should be completely and totally intolerated."
- On his very short time working for Trump and whether he felt "burned": "Not at all. When you take a job like that, you know your expiration is coming. I didn't think I'd last too long, but I thought I'd last longer than a carton of milk."
