Former White House communications director Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci once said that Steve Bannon, Trump’s top aide, was “insecure and paranoid” and “operating out of the shadows” in a new interview with Page Six.

According to Page Six, The Mooch said that Bannon and former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus created a “climate of fear and distrust in the West Wing with their backstabbing tactics.”

“Priebus and Bannon were probably responsible for 60 percent of the leaking at the White House,” Anthony said to Page Six. “It was a Priebus leak that the Secret Service escorted me out when I was fired. But that’s not the case. The protocol is that you are escorted out by one of the White House personnel. That was done to try to hit me and make me look like I’d done something nefarious. That’s how they operate, from the shadows.”

He continued, “Going into the White House, Priebus and Bannon were very clear they did not want me there. Bannon specifically said that I had a ‘zero chance of being comms director’ and they were doing everything they could to get me out. You’ve got two people in very powerful positions — I think they are small people frankly — but they were in powerful positions, so I always knew it was going to be very tough for me.”

Apparently Bannon and Priebus wanted him gone even more after Anthony said to a New Yorker journalist, “I’m not Steve Bannon. I’m not trying to suck my own c–k,” and branded Priebus, “a f–king paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac”].

He added to Page Six, “They were responsible for half of the personal attacks on other colleagues in the White House. It comes from a level of insecurity and lack of confidence, that is how people are who are paranoid and backstabbing. I am the type of person say how I feel, Bannon would go around my back and tell 15 journalists lies about me so they would write terrible things.”
