Bloomberg’s Green: ‘Absolutely’ Bannon ‘Got Steam-Rolled’ By Scaramucci Pick

‘I think that show of fealty is something that makes other advisors the White House very nervous’

RUSH EXCERPT:
GREEN: "Well, I haven’t heard from him directly. But absolutely, Bannon got steam-rolled by this appointment. He and Reince Priebus, the chief of staff, had tried to intervene. Apparently, at that point, Scaramucci had already been told by the president that he had the job so they were unable to do that. But I think Scaramucci’s first press conference was revealing of what it is that Trump would like to see on TV. I viewed it as almost a tuning fork. You could listen to it, hear the notes that Trump wants his advisors to strike. That he’s brilliant. That he is underappreciated. That he’s not getting a fair shake from the media, from Democrats. That he has good karma, as Scaramucci put it. That he’s a great athlete even. And I think that show of fealty is something that makes other advisors the White House very nervous."
