On Monday's edition of CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci ripped into President Donald Trump's sleaziness and corruption throughout the Ukraine scandal and the administration's response.
"There were four officials from [the Office of Management and Budget] and the White House who were supposed to testify today didn't even show up, not really any ramifications, the Democrats don't want to have this tied up in courts," said Cooper. "Do you think that's a mistake?"
"I think the quicker they get this out in the public domain, the greater the likelihood that one or two rationalists that really love the country and want to go down in history," said Scaramucci, who was fired after just ten days on the job amid obscene comments about fellow Trump associates. "Think about the way we look at [Rep. Joseph] McCarthy now. In the bubble of McCarthy, Dwight Eisenhower failed to make a speech to denunciate McCarthy based on the criticism that he was giving to his old boss George Marshall. He went up to Wisconsin, he was ready to make the speech, and he folded the speech due to political expediency. Eisenhower said later on when he was at the Gettysburg Forum, that this was one of the biggest mistakes of his political career, that he couldn't stand up to McCarthy. Fearful of McCarthy in his home state."
"That's what the Republicans are like right now," added Scaramucci. "One of those Republicans, okay, man or woman, will say, hey, enough is enough, I'm voting against this guy when it comes time to impeach him."
"You're talking about McCarthy, Roy Cohn was whispering in McCarthy's ear—" said Cooper.
"If Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn had a baby, it would be Donald Trump, and he happens to be running the country," said Scaramucci. "I'm just giving you the visual."
"The visual of those two actually having a baby is not something I wanted to think about," chortled Cooper.
"Anyone can have a baby," said Scaramucci. "This is a situation that's going to unfold. And there's more lawlessness. There will be more facts that come out that are more damning than the current facts that are out right now. We're doing a very, very good job on the ground in these swing states. Yes, some of those swing states the president is neck and neck with people like Joe Biden, but I'm talking about the impeachment issue."
