The New York Post’s Page Six is reporting that Anthony Scaramucci and his wife, Deidre Ball, are getting a divorce because of his “naked political ambition,” according to multiple sources.
Scaramucci seemed to acknowledge the news in a tweet, asking people to “leave civilians out of this”:
Leave civilians out of this. I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers & nothing more.

Good luck with that.
Liberal reporters and other members of the blue-checkmark brigade are already reacting to this sad news with the class and dignity you’d expect, which is none. Check it out:

We’ll end it with this thought from Brianna Wu, who we’ve been critical of in the past. Well said:
It makes me so uncomfortable when families get dragged into the political fray for no reason. It always has.https://t.co/OAH7skKn9n

Question: Is there any benefit to the public trust in reporting lurid details of this divorce?
Answer: None whatsoever. It's just voyeurism.— Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) July 28, 2017
