Scaramucci says he'll do everything he can to keep Biden in White House

Source: The Hill

01/15/24 11:05 AM ET


Anthony Scaramucci, who served as White House communications director under former President Trump for a brief period, said in a Sunday interview that he plans to campaign for President Biden if Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

In an interview on “CNN Newsroom” with Jim Acosta, Scaramucci pointed to Trump’s recent threats against his political rivals to underscore the need to protect American institutions before prioritizing partisan politics. “This really is going to be a battle for the democracy, this one. He’s going to expand executive power. He’s going to make things rougher for people. He has already said he’s going after his adversaries using the Department of Justice,” Scaramucci said of Trump.

“And so, for all of these reasons, we’ve got to help the Democrats here if he’s eventually the nominee,” he continued, referring to Trump. “I’ll be working very hard on that.” When Acosta tried to clarify if that meant he would be backing Biden over Trump, Scarammucci said, “Well, 100 percent. No, no, you didn’t mishear me.”

“If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m a patriot first, Jim, I’m a partisan second. This is a battle for the American democracy. This is a battle for freedom. When someone’s telling you they’re going to flex and be a dictator on day one and go after their adversaries, this is against the 200-plus-year experiment of America,” Scaramucci said.

Trump, in a new rally rant, wondered aloud if he would rather die by electrocution or get eaten alive by a shark.

"But if I'm sitting down, and that boat's going down, and I'm on top of a battery, and the water starts flooding in, I'm getting concerned," Trump told the crowd. "But then I look 10 yards to my left, and there's a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or shark, you know what I'm gonna take? Electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time."

It's a request! (also old, but still...he did say every single time). And Scaramucci did say anything

pardon the silliness

As many already know, a single "Scaramucci" is established as a timeframe of eleven days.

even in Trump’s messed up world. Articles have said he’s hard to deal with - he doesn’t play well with others. His foul language was unacceptable and I see little merit in this guy at all.

If he wants to assist in Biden’s reelection, so be it, but I don’t have to like the guy.
