inappropriate for the head of communications from the white house, and i think everybody knows it. he was referring, of course, to the profanity-laced interview scaramucci gave the new york magazine. joining me now, white house reporter ali vitali who has a new article headlined scaramucci rising: anti-leak crusader curries favor with trump. big welcome to you, ali. anthony scaramucci and general john kelly could not be more different. how could you rationalize the president s decision to bring them both on board. i think trump is someone who has always been fond of generals. he talked about kelly just said in long island saying he s one of our stars. you have to watch what he s done at the department of homeland security. he s done a good job of enacting the president s agenda there. so i think it works when you think about the way trump has talked about him in the past. but then you contrast him with someone like anthony scaramucci
