Anthony Scaramucci Says 'The Hypocrisy Isn't Even Hidden Anymore,' Slams Trump Supporters Over Double Standards

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci criticized President Donald Trump’s supporters, arguing that political reactions would have been far more intense if a Democratic president faced similar controversies. Scaramucci Calls Out Trump Supporters On Saturday, Scaramucci criticized Trump’s allies in a post on X , arguing that political reactions depend heavily on which party is in power. "Obama wore a tan suit and Fox News set their hair on fire," Scaramucci wrote, referring to the criticism of former President Barack Obama faced in 2014 over wearing a tan suit during a White House appearance. He then asked supporters to imagine Obama facing controversies involving major policy decisions and financial scrutiny. "Imagine Obama starting a war that creates a quagmire costing several hundred billion dollars," Scaramucci wrote. He added, "Imagine Obama trading in his personal account to the tune of $22 billion." "Imagine the right wing outrage," he further said. Scaramucci argued that conservatives would have responded more aggressively under those circumstances, saying, "Instead these guys fall in line." "The hypocrisy isn’t even hidden anymore," he wrote. He added, "It’s just sitting there in plain sight and nobody seems embarrassed by it." Read Also: Trump Calls Obama 'Weak And Ineffective'
