Former White House staffers Anthony Scaramucci and Omarosa Manigault Newman appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews on Friday evening despite severe backlash, blasting President Trump as being in a state of "mental decline."

The former Trump staffers were announced as guests for the MSNBC segment in a tease on Wednesday and spent the entirety of the segment criticizing the president for his past gaffes and seemingly ailing mental heath.

"What we're watching is Donald Trump in complete and total mental decline," Manigault Newman said. "He can't finish a thought, a sentence. He can't even conceptualize simple policy issues."

Scaramucci also appealed to his recent attempts to coordinate a Republican candidate to challenge Trump in the GOP primary.

"We have to litigate this before the American people," Scaramucci said. "Do you want somebody for the next five years that’s not going to take anybody’s counsel inside the White House and just literally be talking to himself in that stream-of-consciousness that you just witnessed in New Hampshire last night? So that’s what we’ve got to do. It’s a patriotic duty for my fellow Republicans to do that as well."

Both Scaramucci and Manigault Newman were once Trump loyalists. Scaramucci served as the White House communications director for 11 days in 2017 and Manigault Newman was a senior aide to the president and also served as communications director for the Office of Public Liaison.

"Omarosa and I were trying to help him," Scaramucci said. "There were many other people in there trying to help him. Omarosa and I are willing to speak out about it. There are people behind the scenes, I talked to many of them over the last four or five days, that are getting ready."
