Short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said that Steve Bannon is hurting President Donald Trump's ability to move his agenda forward, and suggested the administration move toward the political "mainstream."
"You also got this sort of Bannon-bart influence in there, which I think is a snag on the president," Scaramucci said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "If the president really wants to execute that legislative agenda that I think is so promising for the American people, the lower-middle class people and the middle class people, then he has to move away from that sort of Bannon-bart nonsense."
Scaramucci blended the name of Bannon, chief strategist and senior counselor to the president, with Breitbart News, the far-right news and commentary website that Bannon ran before joining Trump's presidential campaign.
