Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci suggested that Republicans should consider a change to the top of their ticket ahead of the 2020 Presidential election.
It’s a remarkable divorce between Trump and an associate who was once one of his foremost public allies, but follows a familiar pattern of former aides turning on Trump. The turnover rate in the White House is the worst in modern American history, part of the reason being, Trump is the least popular President in modern American history.
“To those asking, ‘What took so long?’ You’re right,” Scaramucci tweeted Monday. “I tried to see best in @realDonaldTrump based on private interactions and select policy alignment. But his increasingly divisive rhetoric — and damage it’s doing to fabric of our society — outweighs any short-term economic gain.”
The Hill reports, "Scaramucci accused the president of inciting hate and fracturing institutions and suggested the GOP may need to consider nominating someone else for 2020. He predicted other Republicans might begin to speak out if Trump's divisive rhetoric continues, claiming GOP officials have raised concerns privately."
“The racially charged comments, the divisive tweeting, the nonsense coming from the President is not helping the country,” Scaramucci said on “New Day.”
The Mooch" does not hold public office, so the impact of his statements may be marginal at best.
However, there is a trend and it does not bode well for the Republican Party. House Republicans left office at a historical rate for the 2018 midterm elections. 44 House Republicans quit, including the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.
This year the lone African-American Republican in the House, Will Hurd from Texas, is quitting. Hurd is the third Texas Republican in the past two weeks to decide to spend more time with their families, and the eighth GOP member of the House to do so.
With the stock market tanking since March because of Trump's trade war with China, because of three mass killings in eight days linked to Trump's inflammatory rhetoric, more Republicans may be asking themselves, "What the hell am I doing?"
"The Mooch's" sentiments may be prescient.
