Anthony ‘The Mooch’ Scaramucci has called for Trump to be arrested for violating the “conditions of his bail agreement” following Trump’s comments about Liz Cheney.
At an event in Glendale, Arizona, on October 31, Trump was asked by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson about his thoughts on Harris surrogate Cheney, to which Trump responded: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
Scaramucci, Trump’s 11-day-long press secretary, posted to X (formerly Twitter) in response to these comments saying: “Trump should be taken into custody. He is a convicted felon and just violated the conditions of his bail agreement by threatening someone’s life. He needs to be sent away.”
Newsweek has emailed the Trump campaign for comment.
It is unclear which bail condition Scaramucci is referring to in this post. Newsweek has emailed him for comment. The former Trump employee, who has a Harvard Law School degree, has campaigned against Trump during the election, branding him unfit for office.
At one point he claimed Trump had lost his will to fight. And he has consistently supported Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the presidency after she stepped in for Joe Biden. He even highlighted a joke about Donald Trump‘s “tiny hands.”
After being fired by Trump, he supported his reelection campaign until August 2019, and since then has disavowed his support for the former president. Scaramucci founded the Right Side PAC alongside other Republicans in June 2020 in an effort to encourage voters in swing states to support other candidates.
He also criticized Trump’s behavior at Arlington cemetery in another X post and voiced his condemnation of Trump’s alleged altercation with a staff member at the cemetery during an interview on CNN.
Scaramucci worked in investment banking prior to his career in politics, and his work as the White House communications director is one of the shortest tenures in history, tied with a member of former president Ronald Reagan’s staff, according to NBC.
Trump is living under bail restrictions set by the state of Georgia due to the investigation into his alleged criminal attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump denies any wrongdoing in the case.
Scaramucci’s statement in his tweet that Trump is a felon relates to the trial in New York where he was tried and found guilty on 34 counts following his hush money payment trial.
The Presidential candidate is awaiting sentencing in New York. Despite his initial sentencing being scheduled for September 18, he will now not be subject to sentencing until after the election. Trump still maintains his innocence in this case and may yet appeal.
