his resignation follows what many call president trump's worst week in office. the white house infighting spilled to the public realm and there was a senate attempt to repeal and replace obamacare. a white house official telling cnn that scaramucci's dismissal came at the hands of the new chief of staff general kelly who thought the communications director was not disciplined and already burned his credibility. white house press briefing on the matter wrapped up a short while ago. >> i think anthony wants general kelly to operate fully with a clean slate, build his own team. at same time the president felt his comments were inappropriate. the two things aren't mutually exclusive. >> what was your reaction? >> i saw it coming. yes. >> 11 days. that is how long he lasted. >> not surprised. due to his comments.
