So, this has been quite a day for new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who kicked things off with an off-the-rails call-in to CNN’s “New Day” and then turned things up a few more notches in the New Yorker:
.@Scaramucci started the day threatening to call the FBI on @Reince, and ended it saying Bannon sucks his own dick. The Trump WH, everyone!

I just read this @RyanLizza account of his call with @Scaramucci again and it’s truly insane. Wow. https://t.co/HQuYIpVEGW

My mom is here visiting. She's wondering why I keep gasping reading this New Yorker article. I can't repeat these Scaramucci comments to her
— Jessica Taylor (@JessicaTaylor) July 27, 2017
Journalists wondered if Scaramucci’s call to Chris Cuomo had been authorized by the president, and apparently it was. Now, they’re wondering if the phone conversation he had with Ryan Lizza Wednesday night was supposed to be off the record. It doesn’t seem like Scaramucci cares one way or the other, though.
I sometimes use colorful language. I will refrain in this arena but not give up the passionate fight for @realDonaldTrump's agenda. #MAGA
— Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) July 27, 2017
Wow. That passionate fight, combined with the colorful language, produced this R-rated quote about adviser Steve Bannon:
“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock.” — Anthony Scaramucci, WH Communications Director. https://t.co/Q2Yb1S3Vi2
— Nick Bilton (@nickbilton) July 27, 2017
Guys, I don't know him personally but I seriously doubt Steve Bannon has the athleticism to suck his own dick.
— Jesse Berney (@jesseberney) July 27, 2017
My Twitter is currently half-healthcare, half-Scaramucci cock quotes.
— andrew kaczynski ? (@KFILE) July 27, 2017
“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock" is a pretty great line though.
— Ben (@BenHowe) July 27, 2017
yeah The Mooch said Steve Bannon is trying to suck his own cock but we need to talk about the reporter who reached out to Bannon for comment pic.twitter.com/Z9Z4a7fq5t

But wait, there’s more!
Scaramucci threatened to fire the White House communications staff. It escalated from there. @RyanLizza @NewYorker https://t.co/op2iVVqyoU

"Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said to @RyanLizza. https://t.co/s53gzJVs1g

To be clear: THE WHITE HOUSE COMMS DIR just called the WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF "a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac." https://t.co/9STON7JORT

This is only Mooch Day 6.

Bannon vs Mooch is going to be awesome considering they are both fans of the most profane vocabulary https://t.co/pRuU9VFxn9

Plenty of people are tweeting live looks at Scaramucci tonight now that his conversation has gone public.

Pretty sure, Mooch and Andrew Dice Clay have never been seen in the same room together.

As if it could get any better, Lizza says he recorded the conversation … hopefully he’ll release the audio so DJs can get to work on their AutoTune remixes of the Bannon quote.
Ryan Lizza just confirmed that he recorded his conversation with @Scaramucci

Sure it’s foul, but @Scaramucci has effectively proved that he fears no one except Trump.

Update:
I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again.
