Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director, unleashed a scathing critique of Senators JD Vance and Tommy Tuberville, labeling them “spineless sycophants” for their support of former President Trump during his ongoing hush money trial.
Scaramucci’s remarks came after the senators traveled to Manhattan to show solidarity with Trump, who faces charges related to falsifying business records.
Scaramucci accused Trump of “destroying the Republican Party” and claimed that the senators’ actions were a testament to the lack of backbone within the party.
Scaramucci’s comments were in response to Vance and Tuberville’s attempts to discredit Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney and star witness for the prosecution.

Vance questioned Cohen’s credibility, citing his felony conviction, while Tuberville expressed dismay at the trial, calling it “the most depressing thing” he’d witnessed.
Scaramucci dismissed their comments, saying they were simply doing Trump’s bidding. He also suggested that Trump’s loyal supporters were living in a “closed sphere of influence,” where they believed Trump had already won the election.
The drama unfolded as Cohen took the stand, providing damaging testimony against his former client. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, but the trial has shed light on his questionable business dealings.
Scaramucci’s critique of the senators highlights the deepening divisions within the Republican Party, where loyalty to Trump is often prioritized over principle. As the trial continues, it remains to be seen how far Trump’s allies will go to support him and what consequences their actions may have for the party as a whole.
