Former WH communications director Anthony Scaramucci appeared on Fox News Thursday morning to perform damage control over claims made in the new book about the administration, 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House' by Michael Wolff. Scaramucci enjoys reopening his feud with former campaign CEO Steve Bannon, warning that if the quotes attributed to him are accurate "even Breitbart" will abandon him.



"I don't know if it is true," Scaramucci said about the claims attributed to Bannon in the book. "What I would suggest to people (what goes on in the [media] industry now is people just say whatever they say) let's go verify it. Some of it may be true, some of it may not be true. But I have to say this: If he did say it, he should go out there and walk it back."



"Donald Trump Jr. is not treasonous, he is an American patriot, he loves his dad and his country," Mooch said about one of the most explosive claims in the book, that Bannon thinks the president's son's meeting with a Russian lawyer amounts to "treason."











"Walk it back," Scaramucci repeated. "I'll say to Steve Bannon, if he is listening to your show: Why don't you drop the nonsense and apologize and rejoin the team."



"I don't know what jersey you're wearing, but it isn't our jersey, and it isn't Team America's jersey."



"Be a team player and knock it off," Mooch said to Bannon.



"The notion that the president needs [Bannon] for his base -- I soundly reject that," he added. "The president has his own base. My prediction is even Breitbart will break from Bannon if he doesn't drop the nonsense and come back in the fold."
