Sinclair’s Boris Epshteyn celebrates Anthony Scaramucci’s “new approach” and “fresh perspective” for Trump’s White House

Scaramucci, one day earlier: “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock”

Update: Just days after Sinclair Broadcast Group's chief political analyst Boris Epshteyn released a commentary segment lauding Anthony Scaramucci's new approach as White House communications director, The New York Times reported that President Donald Trump had removed Scaramucci from the role.


Former Trump aide Boris Epshteyn’s latest “must-run” commentary segment for Sinclair Broadcast Group proves that President Donald Trump’s clumsy damage control will be televised on local TV news stations nationwide -- whether viewers like it or not.


On July 27, The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza published a profanity-laced, on-the-record interview with Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House communications director, in which the latter savaged his new White House colleagues. The following day, without mentioning the firestorm Scaramucci’s viral interview had caused, Epshteyn posted a new video commentary celebrating Scaramucci’s “fresh perspective” and pushing generic propagandistic talking points about the predicted success of the new White House communications strategy.

Here is the entire transcript of the 86-second clip, via Sinclair-owned Washington, D.C. station WJLA:

Changes are afoot in the White House communications department.

It may be hard to keep track of who’s in, who’s out – and more importantly, what this means for the American people.

Citizens in the rural areas and those who listen to local news need to be warned ASAP about what and who they are. And we need some form of challenge to their false and misleading allegations. Oh, for the equal time law. Is there any chance of getting that law back?
