It was less than a month ago that former White House communications director Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci announced his newest endeavor: The Scaramucci Post. Since then we hadn’t heard much until a bizarre poll popped up on the @ScaramucciPost feed asking how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust — which led to responses like this one:

After the poll was removed and a couple of explanatory tweets were posted, The Mooch himself issued a statement explaining just what happened. Seems he was out of the country when his social media director devised the poll.

That’s not the best way to kick off a news outlet with your name on it, but that just our opinion.
Maybe don't go out of the country when you're launching a product with your name on it and you employ morons could be sound advice https://t.co/ky1SlQPhQK

Not really inspiring confidence with respect to your hiring choices or managerial competence, Anthony. https://t.co/3LzvE4CoDp

Cheer up. Your foray into the media world is only slightly less embarrassing than everything else about you. ?

Update:
Speaking of bucks and where they stop…
On behalf of the @ScaramucciPost we will be making a $25,000 donation to The Simon Wiesenthal Center. Hopefully I spelled that right. ?
