Scaramucci Tells Fox Business Host ‘You’ve Got Better Legs Than Me’

 

One-time White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has been making the media rounds these past 24 hours following the blockbuster news that current comms director, Hope Hicks, was leaving the post. In his cable news hits, he’s sung the praises of Hicks while slamming Chief of Staff John Kelly, noting that the morale in the White House is at an “all-time low.”

The Mooch’s run through the news shows eventually brought him to Fox Business Network’s Kennedy. Following a fairly laid-back interview, the former Trump administration official and the titular host exchanged pleasantries. And things got a little weird.

After finishing up the segment by discussing the president’s recent announcement that he’d be imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, Kennedy told Scarmucci that it was nice to see him again because he’s “always open and honest.”

“You are great, I appreciate it,” Scaramucci responded back with his own compliments. “Like you, I don’t let anybody else define me. I’m going to define me.”

“You’re a supermodel,” Kennedy said.

After a beat, and with Kennedy getting ready to move on to the next segment, Scaramucci then made the following remark: “But you’ve got better legs than me — I don’t know if you’re allowed to say that on TV.”

Kennedy reacted gracefully by telling Mooch it was “just the implants” while looking down at her legs. Meanwhile, Scarmucci sheepishly said he “could get in trouble for that” before commenting on his own physical features, noting he has a “high torso.”
