UPDATED: Twitter Can’t Believe Scaramucci Post Tweeted About Holocaust Again: ‘WTF Is Wrong With You’
Ummm, why? Why would go back to this well again?
A few days ago, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci took a ton of heat after his online media venture, The Scaramucci Post, sent out a Twitter poll asking how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Following the immediate backlash, the outlet deleted the tweet and Scaramucci released a statement apologizing for the poll, stating it wasn’t meant to give comfort for Holocaust deniers.
Yet, for some reason, on Friday The Scaramucci Post decided to send out this tweet:
As you could imagine, the reaction online was swift and harsh:
FREE IDEA: Stop following Scaramucci Post

Mooch said he didn’t know was the Scaramucci Post was gonna be, but now we know – it’s “a Twitter account weirdly fixated on the Holocaust” https://t.co/BwMJxydOnJ

So the Scaramucci Post has no actual site or editorial direction but has just been tweeting about Jews all week for no reason whatsoever? pic.twitter.com/WNQBOsCW20

CNN’s Oliver Darcy reached out to Scaramucci’s agent to ask just what the hell was going on and got the following response:
Just spoke w/@Scaramucci‘s agent who told me Anthony “is a participant” in this round of tweets: “I think we are trying to make a point” https://t.co/gQa8XiAHnc

OK then. Meanwhile, Scaramucci sent out this tweet in a seeming defense of the Post’s tweets about the Holocaust and how many Jews were alive before it:
Go against the Mob once and a while if you want real change.

So, appears that we won’t get an immediate tweet(s) deletion and apology like last time. But, with The Mooch, who knows?
UPDATE 2:05 PM ET: Now it appears that the Scaramucci is doubling down on the Holocaust poll that it deleted earlier this week. This should end well:
Now that we reflected on it we are putting the poll back up & are adding a few other polls to help demonstrate the magnitude of the tragedy.

UPDATE 2:58 PM EST
In quite possibly the biggest Scaramucci Move™ to date, The Scaramucci Post has reposted the same exact reviled Twitter poll about the Holocaust that they originally posted and deleted three days ago. Yes, this is after ‘The Mooch’ personally apologized and took “responsibility” for the poll.
How many Jews were killed during the Holocaust?
