Scaramucci says vulgar remarks about Priebus, Bannon were a joke
Source: The Hill
Anthony Scaramucci, who recently resigned as White House communications director, said Tuesday he was largely "joking" in the comments he made to a New Yorker reporter about other Trump administration officials.
"Most of what I said was humorous and joking," Scaramucci told the Huffington Post on Tuesday, referring to his now infamous phone call to Ryan Lizza. "Legally, it may have been on the record, but the spirit of it was off. And he knew that."
While Scaramucci claims his insulting remarks were mostly not serious, he received strong backlash for his vulgar, expletive-filled phone call that many cable news network hosts have had difficulty repeating on air.
Scaramucci referred to then-White House communications director Reince Priebus as a "f------ paranoid schizophrenic."

that he thought everything he said to the reporter was "off the record". Why would you want a "joke" off the record?
Now his story has changed, and his statements weren't "off the record", they now were meant as "a joke".
He learned his deceit from Trump, who keeps changing the stories about HIS comments as well. Everything Trump says now "is a joke". Well, the country isn't getting the punchline, and his "jokes" seem more like the ramblings of a man who can't recall his previous lies, so he has to create new and better lies.
Trump has serious mental problems, and I'm surprised his family isn't more concerned about his mental state. I think they're afraid to approach the subject with him, just like every Republican in the country. They're just making believe everything is fine, that there's been no change in his demeanor whatsoever. He's just plain old, "normal" Donald.
