Anthony Scaramucci...Right or Wrong for the Job
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
"A lot of you are hearing the news, and I want you to hear it directly from us."
- Press Secretary Sean Spicer on rumors surrounding his then possible resignation
And so last Friday, Press Secretary Sean Spicer submitted his resignation in light of his disagreeing with President Trump's new communications director pick...and immediately the liberal media jumped on this as their self-perceived example of a Trump White House collapsing in on itself for Sean Spicer had only served as press secretary for six months.
And with the media now inserting themselves into the fray came their twisting of the facts surrounding Spicer's resignation which led directly into their time-tested and skillfully honed 'divert and deflect' scenario for while Susan Rice was testifying behind closed doors about all things Obama and Clinton...the real news story that needed reporting on...the media instead focused on what should have been a routine administrative change of command... a specific change of command done by past presidents and done so with little fanfare...that is until Donald Trump became president...until Donald Trump became the subject of a political witch hunt the likes of which is truly one for the history books.

This then forced Stephanopolous into a less visible role as a policy advisor, but was there a media free-for-all that the person charged with framing policy for public consumption was being upended so early on in the Clinton presidency...simply...no there was not. In fact, many media hounds heralded this change as a way to help turn the Clinton administration back to the middle of the road...the road of bi-partisanship that Clinton ran on...while ignoring the fact that this change came on the heels of the abruptly unexpected dismissal of the Clinton travel office staff coupled with his razor-thin budget victory in the House of Representatives.
For the media, what's apparently good for the proverbial Democratic goose seems never to be good for the proverbial Republican gander.
So as Sean Spicer steps down as press secretary, no matter that President Trump asked him to stay on but to answer to his new appointee directly, he did so in a most gracious, humble, and sincere manner, because he believed that any new hiring would add to the “confusion and uncertainty already engulfing the White House,” if he stayed on, and that for the good of the country and Trump's agenda a clean slate was needed. But what of the man who now steps into the role of communications director...that man's name is Anthony Scaramucci...a savvy businessman but a man fairly new to the game of politics... and while he's a good man in the sense that good men are...I believe he is the wrong man for this important position.
Let me explain, but first let me say that while I supported Marco Rubio during the primary season, once Donald Trump secured the nomination I supported him as I promised I would do, and I campaigned for him and supported his agenda one hundred percent even though I never surrendered my core beliefs, and even though I do question a few of his cabinet and administration picks...picks which have me wondering exactly who advises our duly-elected president as to whom would be the best fit for each position that needs to be filled.

And while these 'red flags' are not the 'red flags' of let's say a Hillary Clinton, they are 'red flags' nevertheless. Having more to do with past liberal-held beliefs than with his supposed now love fest for President Trump...which I myself witnessed when Scaramucci was introduced at last Friday's press conference where in a matter of minutes he repeated the words “I love President Trump” almost as many times as Obama used to say 'me, me, me and I, I, I'...that in and of itself has me worrying because when someone does such a 180 degree turn in their long-held beliefs in such a relatively short period of time a motive usually lurks somewhere in the background.
And here are some of Scaramucci's tweets that have me more than a bit worried...worried in the same way that I worry about General H.R. McMaster.

Second 'red flag'...even more disturbing to me than mere campaign donations is that Anthony Scaramucci tweeted and then stated on live TV for all to see and hear what are basically liberal talking points...talking points that are counter to conservative core values... and only are now being taken down and words retracted as they have come back to haunt. Claiming he's deleting old tweets for "full transparency" and that his past views should not be a "distraction" because those views have “evolved,” I say people might change one or two of their past views but all...I think not. And if one really wanted to be transparent why hide...why delete...what was once said. Shades of Hillary and the deleted emails I think.




Then in 2015, when appearing on the Fox Business Network, Anthony Scaramucci called then-candidate Trump a “hack politician” and a member of the "Queens County bullies association,” and asked Trump, “Are you a Democratic plant for Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren? Stand here and tell us otherwise." But now all of a sudden we heard ad-nauseum this past Friday, “I love President Trump.” He loves President Trump...oh really...then why just this past December while being interviewed on MSNBC did Scaramucci in an attempt to deflect what the media was calling Trump’s routine departures from the truth say, “Don’t take him literally, take him symbolically. See, it’s different.”
And let's be honest here, words once said can never really be taken back no matter new words spoken.“I should have never said that about him...So, Mr. President, if you’re listening, I personally apologize for the 50th time for saying that. But here’s the wonderful thing about the news media: That was three minutes of my life. He’s never forgotten it, you’ve never forgotten it, but I hope that someday, Mr. President, you’ll forget it.” Something tells me that while Donald Trump seems to have 'stored away' those words he is the kind of man who never truly forgets words attacking his person or his character.
And lastly, dare we forget that recently President Trump rightfully pulled us out of the farce known as the Paris Climate Change Accord...you know what Trump himself called “nonsense”...nonsense concerning what is nothing but the 'weather.' Now here is what Anthony Scaramucci said just last year about climate change, “You can take steps to combat climate change without crippling the economy... The fact many people still believe CC is a hoax is disheartening.” Seems to contradict a core view of the very man and agenda Scaramucci claims he is “loyal” to...for how can you be loyal to a man and his agenda when you flip-flop your views for political gain alone.
So knowing all this the question
remains is Anthony Scaramucch just another political wannabe now
attaching himself to the president's coat tails for his own personal
gain or is he really the right man for the job?
But can Scaramucci succeed in this what is a non-policy making position...some pundits say yes. Citing that his introduction at Friday's press conference was smooth, polished, and confident, and that he appeared 'at home' at the podium, Scaramucci does appear to be a no-nonsense type of guy. When asked by one reporter, “Is it your commitment to give accurate information to the best of your ability from that podium?” Scaramucci without even a second of hesitancy responded, “I almost feel I don't have to answer that question...you can tell from me and my body language what kind of person I am.”
And those words spoken show a level of both
strength and confidence that to some seemed lacking in Sean
Spicer...words that seemed even 'Trump-like'...a good thing for
someone who will answer directly to the president. And Scaramucci
appears to be quick on his feet with words...a 'spin-meister' if you
will who also acts as the president's PR person of sorts...something
needed when defending a president whose words and actions sometimes
are misinterpreted...many times deliberately so by the left.
So as President Trump changes his communications team's key players and strategy...and here I must applaud Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointment as press secretary...know they have a tough job ahead of them as they go about trying to negate the pile of utter nonsense the Democrats have leveled against this president and his administration. And as President Trump continues to surround himself with generals and successful business people...only time will tell if Anthony Scaramucci is indeed the right pick to head the team charged with undoing the damage not of this president's doing.
