Anthony Scaramucci’s tenure as White House communications director was short-lived, but it was marked by multiple hostile relationships, personal strife and one instantly iconic photo with Reince Priebus.
During one of Scaramucci’s 10 days on the job, he famously battled with then-chief of staff Reince Priebus. Wall Street Journal photographer T.J. Kirkpatrick captured their adversarial relationship in a stunning photo of the two locking eyes while standing in the Oval Office.
“That’s a rough photo,” Scaramucci admitted in an interview on CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Monday.
Though Preibus was ousted just days after Scaramucci stepped into his role at the White House, he stopped short of saying that he came in with the intention of cleaning house.
