Anthony Scaramucci Asks Media To 'Have Class' And Not Cover His Pending Divorce Or New Baby

White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci wisely stayed away Politicon, a weekend gathering of politicians, media personalities, and celebrities in Pasadena, Calif. The wise-talking new install in the Trump administration initially said he intended to keep his commitment to attend the event after his expletive-filled, now-infamous interview with New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza. 

Scaramucci's language and threats to fire the entire White House communications staff were so vulgar that it caused media institutions like the New York Times to questions their own policies about  not printing vulgarity, but bleeping it with an asterisk.

News broke at the end of the week -- no, not the firing of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus -- that Scaramucci's wife Deidre had filed for divorce nine weeks pregnant, and that she gave birth to a son named James last Monday.

Are you still with me? Anthony Scaramucci's estranged wife had a baby boy last week. This is not the typical Democrat wife and Republican husband argument playing out across America. Both Scaramuccis are Republicans but Mrs. Scaramucci is rumoured to detest Trump and his bravado. She has issued no comment on her husband's gutter-talk and threats to kill White House staffers. 

Mrs. Ball Scaramucci's lawyer Jill Stone confirmed the split on Saturday, shooting down reports that the split was due to Scaramucci's "naked political ambition and infatuation with Trump," writes the New York Daily News. 

In response to the reports of the pending divorce went public, the foul-mouthed White House big cheese went to Twitter with a message that truly takes the cake. "Family does not need to be drawn into this," the Mooch tweeted Saturday morning. "Soon we will learn who in the media has class and who doesn't. No further comments on this."

The fact that Anthony Scaramucci would use the word class after talking about men sucking their own c*cks is the kind of absurdity we've learned to expect from the Trump Administration.
