Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci criticized Washington corruption and accused supporters of President Donald Trump of excusing unethical behavior, calling the political climate "ridiculous" and deeply damaging to public trust.
Scaramucci Slams Trump Defense Over Corruption
On Saturday, in a post on X, Scaramucci wrote, "I understand there are levels of corruption in Washington. There always have been, but this is ridiculous."
He added, "Anyone apologizing for Trump on the corruption or giving him an alibi, you’re part of a cult. Try to get yourself deprogrammed."
In a video shared alongside the post, Scaramucci also contrasted today’s political climate with his upbringing in the 1970s and 1980s, saying Americans once had greater faith in national institutions despite scandals like Watergate.
