Anthony Scaramucci Drops Bombshell Melania Claims
“I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard,” the former White House communications director said during a podcast appearance Saturday.

Anthony Scaramucci has claimed that Melania Trump wants Kamala Harris to win the 2024 presidential election, and that she “hates” her husband.
The former White House communications director recycled allegations that the former first lady is not keen on four more years in the White House during an interview with the MeidasTouch podcast over the weekend.
Claiming Melania “is tired of all this nonsense,” Scaramucci said of the 2024 presidential campaign: “Nobody wants (Kamala Harris) to win more than me—maybe Melania Trump, that could be the only person I can think of.”
“I judge hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard,” he continued, adding that he could only think of one person (whom he named as General Mark Milley, appointed by Trump as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2019) whose hatred for the former president surpasses that of his wife.
Scaramucci’s hyperbolic claims come nearly two months after Melania Trump was last seen with her husband, having made a one-night-only cameo at the Republican National Convention in July.

“The Mooch,” who has since left the GOP and supported President Biden’s campaign in 2020, has become a vocal critic of his former boss.
The comments come following a Friday interview when Scaramucci called out Trump’s “contradictory” comments on abortion, claiming Trump knows “he’s in trouble.”
“He’s done a very good job of the last nine years of saying two contradictory things at the exact same time and giving enough food for everybody at the table,” Scaramucci told Alex Marquardt on CNN’s The Situation Room.
