Reince Priebus just gave his first post-shitcanning interview to CNN, which some Twitter wags consider an implicit jab at Trump. Wolf Blitzer asked Priebus point-blank about the Mooch’s accusation of being the White House leaker, which Priebus called “ridiculous.”
Mediaite reports:
Priebus told Blitzer that he simply wasn’t going to comment on Scaramucci calling him a “f*cking paranoid schizophrenic” during an interview with The New Yorker. “I’m not going to respond to it,” Preibus said. “I’m not going to get into the mud on those sorts of things.”
Blitzer pressed, but Priebus again gave him the brush-off. “Look, it’s over,” Priebus said. “I’m moving on.” The longtime CNN anchor then asked about Scarmucci’s charge that Priebus is a White House leaker. “Are you the leaker in the White House?” Blizter asked pointedly. “That’s ridiculous, Wolf. Come on!” Priebus said.
