Iowa evangelical leader suggests Trump fire Scaramucci [View all]

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 07/29/17 10:39 PM EDT


An influential Iowa political activist is calling on President Trump to fire Anthony Scaramucci after the White House communications director went on a profanity-laced tirade during an interview with The New Yorker.

"'Silence equals assent.'" @POTUS must model and demand a higher standard. @Scarramuci should be fired immediately," Bob Vander Plaats, the president of the conservative group the Family Leader, tweeted Saturday.

In a separate blog post on the Family Leader's website, Vander Plaats urged Trump to wash "Scaramucci's mouth with a bar of soap" and promptly oust him from the White House.

"Mr. President, it is time to look in the mirror, accept responsibility, apologize to the American people, and declare an end to this behavior immediately," he wrote. "While what I’m urging may not be the “Trump” brand, it is the brand of a leader. We need a leader. You must lead!"

Rev. Bob Vander Plaats knew Trump grabs peoples' crotches,
yet he supported him right up until this silly Tweet, didn't he?

Bite me, Bob.
