Anthony Scaramucci Calls JD Vance ‘A Smarter Version of Me’

Donald Trumphis former communications director turned antagonist Anthony Scaramucci says his former boss is a meaner version of the 2016 version and “there’s no defense” to support him now.

In an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, he’s referring to Trump’s running mate in the upcoming elections, JD Vancewho once called Trump “America’s Hitler” and said:

“I see a smarter version of me. I’m watching a brutal train wreck unfold for JD Vance.”

Scaramucci, a longtime Republican, briefly worked for Trump in 2017 for 11 days before being fired after a reporter shared his off-the-record personal thoughts about his White House colleagues. he said The Times his wife Deirdre told him at the time: “You’re unrecognizable” and filed for divorce, before the pair reconciled.

For his decision to work Kamala HarrisHis campaign, Scaramucci reported that he faced death threats and criticism for his disloyalty, but added: “You have to be patriotic. You know what I tell these people? “You are disloyal.” You know he’s a bad guy. You know he is a dangerous person.”

In the same interview, Trump’s former communications director took issue with what he sees as the stakes in the upcoming election:

“It’s unbelievable, but one of the people running for the most important job in the world is a fascist. He talks about non-white immigrants the way the National Socialists talked about the Jews. It dehumanizes them. So anyone who is with him is supporting a racist Nazi.”
