White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said he will never trust a reporter again after a New Yorker reporter wrote a story detailing Scaramucci’s profanity-laden phone call to him Wednesday night. 

To recap: 

1. Scaramucci calls Ryan Lizza, unsolicited, to demand the name of one of his sources. 
2. Scaramucci, without asking to speak off the record or on background, launches into his tirade. 
3. Scaramucci blames Lizza for writing about the phone call. 

I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won’t happen again.

Many Twitter users were perplexed by the fact that the man who has been put in charge of communicating the administration’s message to the press does not seem to grasp how the press works. 

It’s cool how the communications director of the White House doesn’t understand how talking to a reporter works.

So Scaramucci:

1) Begs reporter in vain to reveal confidential sources
2) Expects him not to print juicy quotes

Welcome to communications.

That’s what you think the mistake is?

You’re the DIRECTOR of COMMUNICATIONS for the entire White House, and you don’t understand how this communications thing works?
