Top 10 Most Embarrassing Sean Spicer Blunders
From day one, Sean Spicer garnered controversy as the White House Press Secretary and acting White House Communications Director, like when he stated "Alternative Facts" on president Donald Trump’s inauguration crowd size. Controversy continued to mount throughout his career in the White House. In July of 2017, Spicer announced his imminent resignation from both positions, while Anthony Scaramucci was appointed the White House Director of Communications. Shortly thereafter, it was reported that Sean Spicer “vehemently disagreed” with the hiring of Scaramucci, which does not bode well for the transition.
#2: Scaramucci’s Past
Educated at Tufts and Harvard Universities, Scaramucci was a heavyweight in the financial market before his career in politics. Starting his career at Goldman Sachs, he later went on to found and manage two different investment firms, eventually selling both. He first got into politics during the 2016 Presidential Campaign, in which he originally endorsed Scott Walker, and then Jeb Bush. After his new position as White House Communications Director was announced in 2017, many were quick to point out Scaramucci’s past political views as being socially left-wing; in the past, he tweeted support for gun control, gay marriage, climate protection, abortion rights. He even criticized the president’s plan to build a wall on the US-Mexico barder. Since the announcement of his job in the White House however, Scaramucci has made an effort to delete these old tweets.
