The Mooch wants to make Huckabee Sanders "incrementally better," staring with her hair and makeup.



When Tapper asked if the press would see Scaramucci more often at White House press briefings, he began talking about the White House decision to put restrictions on cameras in the briefing room. He then moved on to describe Sarah Sanders’ job performance as press secretary.

“I think Sarah does a great job. She’s incredibly authentic, and what I told Sarah on Friday is you take the big office … For Sarah Huckabee, I want to do everything I can to make her better at that podium. I think she’s phenomenal there now. But like every athlete that is training for the Olympics, every day we have to make ourselves incrementally better,” Scaramucci said.

After his noting how press secretaries can be “incrementally better,” Scaramucci focused on Sanders’ appearance.

“The only thing I ask Sarah, Sarah if you’re watching, I love the hair and makeup person that we had on Friday, so I’d like to continue to use the hair and makeup person,” he added.

That will be last straw, methinks. How very Trump-like, too--appearance is everything. Particularly for women.

Strange but I wondered how Mr. S and Huckabee Sanders would play in the sandbox. Sounds like he's throwing the first gob of wet sand.

I think Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a hypocritical liar and a disgrace.

And the eyelashes on Friday were downright ridiculous.

That said, he demonstrated the undeniable sexism and misogyny that all women are subjected to in the workplace. What an ass for talking about her appearance. I detest her, but it has nothing to do with how she looks. I am so sick of this shit.

but I think Scaramucci was talking about HIS own appearance, not hers. Here is his quote: "...I love the hair and makeup person that WE had on Friday, so I'd like to continue to use the hair and makeup person." Seems clear to me that he was talking about the way the hair and makeup person made him look for TV, and not necessarily her. JMO.

in a passive-aggressive way, leaving him deniability, kind of like gaslighting. Most people would know not to advise on hair and makeup around women, esp. women who don't fit his vision of a 10.

The guy sporting the outdated 80's styled hairdo has no business giving makeup and styling tips to the church lady. All the makeup in the world won't fix what's wrong with that woman, but that doesn't mean she has to tart herself up to meet Scaramucci's vision of female attractiveness.

In interview, White House communications director weighs in on press secretary’s appearance

By Kristine Phillips The Washington Post July 23, 2017

WASHINGTON - Anthony Scaramucci had nothing but glowing praise for new White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when he made the rounds on morning shows on Sunday.

‘‘I think Sarah does a great job. She’s an incredibly warm person. She’s incredibly authentic,’’ the new White House communications director told Jake Tapper on CNN’s ‘‘State of the Union,’’ even adding that he’s letting Sanders take the bigger office while he settles on a smaller one because she has the tough job of taking hits from the press.
.........................................

‘‘Sarah, if you’re watching,’’ he said. ‘‘I love the hair and makeup person that we had on Friday, so I’d like to continue to use the hair and makeup person.’’

Have scheduled Huckabee to go in for radical plastic surgery early next week.

She is going under the knife so when she comes out she will be a spitting image and identical in looks to the First Lady Melania.

Melania is far smaller than SHS. I'm not trying to be mean, but making SHS into a Melania clone involves removing bone, like they had to do to Caitlyn Jenner.

If I was going to pick one Trump sycophant to make over, it would be Kellyanne Conway. If you try piling makeup on a woman as plain as SHS in an attempt to pretty her up, she gets uglier. With SHS, a real basic face would be best: three shades of beige shadow, a little liner and mascara, subtle blush and plum lipstick. Kellyanne Conway is a different story: while her views are ugly her face wouldn't be if she didn't have the worst MUA in America working on her.
