Ooph, that's gonna leave a mark.

As with former attorney Michael Cohen, former public liaison Omarosa Manigault-Newman, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Anthony Scaramucci's relationship with President Donald Trump has soured since his 11 day stint as the White House Communications Director.

Scaramucci was fired in 2017, but continued to make the rounds on television news shows to vouch for the President—until recently. After criticizing the Trump's actions in the aftermath of two mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas earlier this month, Trump took to Twitter to rail against Scaramucci, who soon responded with a dire warning.


Trump is still holding a grudge.

Scaramucci recently elaborated on what triggered his ideological shift in an op-ed for the Washington Post.

"His response to the neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville was repellent," Scaramucci writes. "I was appalled by the administration’s child-separation policy along the southern border. His ranting about the news media as the 'enemy of the people' was dangerous and beyond the pale."

"But the final straw came last month when Trump said on Twitter that four congresswomen — all of them U.S. citizens, and three native-born — should 'go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.'"

Scaramucci ends by challenging Republicans to speak out against Trump and the "culture of fear" he's created.

Though Scaramucci clearly lays out his evolution and doesn't shy away from the praise he used to heap upon the President, Trump tweeted a video of "this dope" Scaramucci hours after the op-ed's publication.

And the feud continued.

There aren't really any heroes in this story, but people knew whose side they were on.

"Only the best people," right?

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
