Anthony Scaramucci Sacked From White House: 7 Ways To React To The News

A helluva ten days.
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Anthony Scaramucci was on Monday fired from his role as White House communications director after a rollercoaster ten days in the post.

Following his profanity-laced tirade against other members of President Donald Trump’s White House staff and an extraordinary interview to BBC Newsnight, he has become - for better or worse - a global figure.

So soon after the news broke, Twitter piled on - and the reaction appeared to be thematic ...

Next up for WH Communications Director . . . the drummer in Spinal Tap.

Note: spoof rock band Spinal Tap had a series of drummers who met unfortunate ends. They included, but were possibly not limited to: John “Stumpy” Pepys (died in 1969 in a bizarre gardening accident), Eric Childs (died choking to death on someone else’s vomit), Peter “James” Bond (spontaneously combusted on stage), and Mick Shrimpton (disappeared and is presumed dead).

5. That he wasn’t technically in the job reaction ...

Scaramucci wasn't supposed to officially start until Aug. 15. Can't get fired from a job you don't have yet. pic.twitter.com/eOCJJ2IBCr

6. The Kim Kardashian reaction ...

I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but every Kim Kardashian marriage has lasted longer than Scaramucci's time as WH Comm Dir.

7. Ok, the Queen reaction.

Last week: Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
This week: Another one bites the dust.
Next week: Find me somebody to love.
