Anthony Scaramucci Gives 'No. 1 Reason' Why 'Alarmed' Republicans Are Hush On Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci spilled on why some Republicans have kept quiet on criticizing Donald Trump.

Scaramucci, who appeared on Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” weighed in on the former president after host Nicolle Wallace praised him for being “part of something” she really appreciates.

“Why is — and I have a little sense that that’s a very difficult, painstakingly diplomatic process — why is it so hard for some of these people to speak out? They’re some of the most alarmed people among us.”

“Well, they probably don’t like death threats, Nicolle,” replied Scaramucci, a harsh critic of Trump since his stint as White House communications director. “I think we can probably start there. So, I mean, that could be the No. 1 reason.”

1. Threats and intimidation is all he has.

A Mob Boss President wannabe, for sure.

[hatrack]

2. And if they give him what he wants and are vewy, vewy quiet . . .

There will be no more threats, and they won't have to worry any more!! Huzzah!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

3. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump had detailed dossiers on both

Democrats and Republicans, esp. those in leadership. Embarrassing stuff that would ruin them. And he's told them that he has the goods on them.

6. I think you're right on the money.

That's why they're so cowed.

[JoseBalow]

10. I've always assumed that's what's in the boxes he whisked away

Kompromat

[brooklynite]

4. "could".....

....I'm not sure Scaramucci is a solid information source.

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. As tRump's former "fixer"

he has a unique perspective about mob boss tRump, and I'd take his word over MF45's any day.

12. Cohen, not Scaramucci, was the fixer.

5. The Mooch was always a straight shooter.

Trump likes to intimidate people.

Insults anybody, threatens them and their family members.

He won't stop.
He can't stop.
Force is required to shut him up.
I'm still waiting for that to happen.

[Earth-shine]

7. The potential for death threats to family members is the Occam's Razor explanation.

Another would be loss of standing, position, and/or electability in the Republican political body.

8. I have been saying this for a long time now,

Occam's razor - Everyone fears Trump. Until someone punches a bully in the face he will continue to bully.

11. Someone might get the cojones.

Maybe

[ThoughtCriminal]

13. Republicans are cowards

Democrats have been dealing with these kind of threats from right wingers for a long time before MAGA.

14. This is why I don't agree with the knee-jerk assumption that everything's about money and

they're bribed. Threats and blackmail are practically free and so much more effective.

[CousinIT]

15. Why didn't that stop Cheney, and the various aides who have come forward?

And most heads of Trump's various cabinets? Quite a few have spoken out against Trump - though ALL Republicans should be doing it. The males, not enough - they think it's a one and done deal and it isn't - they need to keep consistently speaking out and they're not. It's the women who have the most courage it seems. But women are more used to living with threats on their lives (like every day) just because they're women and that's the kind of world we live in. The rest of them are cowards.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. It's not just them. Their families are in

real danger. Look at poor Mr. Pelosi


It's a legitimate fear.
