Scaramucci Putting Together Coalition to Stop Trump

August 19, 2019 at 8:16 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Anthony Scaramucci told CNN that he is putting together a coalition of former Trump Cabinet officials to denounce the President ahead of the 2020 election.

Said Scaramucci: “I’m in the process of putting together a team of people that feel the exact same way that I do. This is not a ‘Never Trump’ situation. This not just screeching rhetoric. This is — OK, the guy is unstable. Everyone inside knows it, everyone outside knows it. Let’s see if we can find a viable alternative.”

He added: “Moreover, I have to get some former Cabinet officials in unity to speak up about it. They know it’s a crisis.”

Scaramucci did not provide any names of people associated with the coalition he said he is assembling, but predicted that by “middle to late fall” there will be a “trove” of people willing to speak out against Trump.
