On Friday, the smart morning show eyes were on New Day to get the latest from the extraordinary series of events surrounding CNN contributor and New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza and White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Last night, Lizza published a breathtaking interview with Scaramucci in which the newly installed comms chief blasted his White House rivals, Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon is unusually vulgar terms.

During the program’s first hour, Lizza appeared on the show to give the play-by-play to Chris Cuomo. While there was a lot to go over, one of the more interesting moments occurred toward the end of conversation when the issue of “on” vs. “off” the record was brought up.

After his interview was published, Scaramucci suggested that he thought the conversation was off-the-record and that he made a “mistake in trusting in a reporter”

UPDATE:


New Yorker is Sitting on Unreleased Recordings of the Scaramucci Meltdown

by Jon Levine | 8:10 am, July 28th, 2017

Yesterday, New Yorker writer, Ryan Lizza published an extraordinary account of a call he had with White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.

During the call, the newly installed comms chief denounced — in very vulgar terms — his chief West Wing rivals, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

Now, a New Yorker spokesperson is saying that there are recordings of the call and — get this — the magazine is apparently sitting on even more stuff which the two men agreed would be officially “off the record.”

The news was buried in the bottom of Axios’ indispensable morning email.

Per Axios:

A New Yorker spokesperson tells us: “Late in the conversation, Scaramucci requested that one part be off the record, and we respected that. The rest was on the record. Today (Thursday), Ryan and Scaramucci had another conversation and Scaramucci was clear and agreed that the conversation was on the record.”

1. When Mooch loses favor

with tRump. the blowup will be EPIC!! Maybe they will have a fistfight on the front lawn at the WH. F bombs will be flyng. I hope a book is in the works. Can hardly wait for these two blowhards to lock pompadour hair styles.

5. as trump said to those rich-suits who refused him loans. "I'll ruin you"

trumps not leaving.

[SharonClark]

2. Scaramucci is the perfect "Communications Director" for Trump

Like 99% of Trump's appointees, he is the antithesis of the person a sane president would pick for the job. That said, he communicates who Trump is very well. They are both thugs.

[DK504]

11. The Propaganda Minister.

[LisaM]

13. " the antithesis of the person a sane president would pick for the job"

[MBS]

16. Exactly.

I was going to say "kindred spirits," but that would wrongly imply that they have any sort of conscience or soul.

[Dave Starsky]

3. Continuing the high standard of excellence...

And professionalism that is synonymous with the Trump brand.

[Sunlei]

4. He deserves another month living with trump & bannon & spraytan girl. Go, go Saturday Night Live.

[FakeNoose]

6. Maybe the Mooch wants to be fired

He already knows what a shit-show this is, why stay at the White House and go down with them?
Say a few things (whoopsie!) and get fired now, maybe he can still salvage his reputation.

Just sayin'

[bullimiami]

7. There is no "off the F$&ng record". "Communications Director" means ON THE RECORD. ALWAYS.

PUTZ.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. No. But yes.

No, anybody can get pre-agreement that something is off the record before speaking.

Yes, Scaramucchi is a putz.

[Javaman]

9. mooch's quote should read...

"I made a mistake in trusting in my brain. It won't happen again"

[LiberalLovinLug]

10. Gee, this Scaramucci fellow looks like Presidential material

Deplorables would love him

[dalton99a]

12. Lying Mooch

[Kennah]

14. Be careful. Smoochy is a front stabber. (n/t)

[Ilsa]

15. IOW, this was a deceptive, planned assault on the press.

Say something grotesque, vulgar, stupid, insulting, whatever, then claim it's the media's fault for printing the truth.

Nice try, Asshole Scaramuccci.
