Anthony Scaramucci criticized Steve Bannon in a provocative manner, clearly distancing himself from Bannon’s controversial style and behavior. He emphasized that he was not like Bannon and used a crude metaphor to underline his point, exemplifying his frustration with Bannon's approach to self-promotion and politics.

This confrontation escalated when Bannon was informed of Scaramucci's comments during a fact-checking process for Michael Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." The situation highlighted the tensions and rivalries within Trump's inner circle, showcasing the differing personalities and strategies in play during a tumultuous era in U.S. politics.
