Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci drew the ire of President Donald Trump's fans on Tuesday when he called on White House chief of staff John Kelly to resign in the wake of the Rob Porter scandal.
Responding to FBI Director Christopher Wray's testimony that the FBI had finished its background investigation into the former White House staff secretary this past July, Scaramucci hammered Kelly for keeping Porter on the staff despite knowing about multiple domestic abuse allegations being leveled against him.
"Based on FBI testimony, WH Chief of Staff John Kelly almost certainly knew about credible allegations of domestic abuse against Rob Porter at least 6 months ago --
then recently forced others to lie about that timeline," Scaramucci wrote on Twitter. "Inexcusable. Kelly must resign."
Scaramucci, who was ousted from his job at the White House after 11 days, was then accused by a Trump supporter of being bitter that Kelly got rid of him shortly after he took over as chief of staff last summer.
Scaramucci replied that this wasn't about him getting fired from the White House, but was rather about how the White House deals with domestic abuse allegations.
"Domestic abuse is a red line," he wrote. "Covering up for it is indefensible. If speaking out against that makes me look petty, then so be it. This has nothing to do with my exit from WH. I trust the FBI Director in this matter, and so should you. We'll know the full truth soon enough."
This prompted some angry reactions from Trump fans who accused Scaramucci of being disloyal to the president -- check out some of the responses below.
