Ex-Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci (http://thehill.com/people/anthony-scaramucci) blasted chief of staff John Kelly (http://thehill.com/people/john-kelly) as “General Jackass” on Thursday, accusing him of pushing out top White House aides.

"Does the president want to lose everyone because of General Jackass?” the former White House communications director said during an interview with Bloomberg News (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-01/scaramucci-tears-into-bad-dude-trump-chief-of-staff-kelly).

Scaramucci was fired by Kelly after just 11 days on the job, after the New Yorker published his expletive-laden tirade against former White House strategist Stephen Bannon and former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus (http://thehill.com/people/reinhold-reince-priebus).

His comments come the day after communications director Hope Hicks (http://thehill.com/people/hope-hicks) announced she would leave the administration. Deputy communications director Josh Raffel also announced he was stepping down (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/375854-trumps-deputy-communications-director-leaving-white-house-report) this week.

Scaramucci has made other public comments (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376192-scaramucci-white-house-morale-is-terrible) blaming the high departure rate on Kelly, who he says has created an environment with “terrible” morale in the White House. He again called for the chief of staff to resign."There will be a further evacuation of talent,” Scaramucci told Bloomberg. “The guy is a bad dude. Fear and intimidation doesn’t work in a civilian organization.”
In his interview with Bloomberg, Scaramucci accused Kelly, a retired Marine general, of limiting his access to President Trump and said that he is concerned Kelly will try to interfere with his efforts to sell his stake in SkyBridge Capital, a deal that has been stalled in a government office.

John Kelly: Leaving DHS to Work in Trump's White House Was Punishment From God (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/03/kelly-leaving-dhs-for-trumps-wh-was-gods-punishment.html)
New York Magazine Mar 1, 2018

White House chief of staff John Kelly said on Thursday that “God punished” him when he left the Department of Homeland Security to go to work in the White House as President Trump’s chief of staff.
The comment came at a celebration for DHS’s 15th anniversary and was preceded by Kelly rolling his eyes like a surly teen when he alluded to the drama that surrounds him in the West Wing.
“I miss every one of you, every day,” Kelly said, rolling his eyes.
“Truly, at six months, the last thing I wanted to do is walk away from one of the great honors of my life, being the secretary of Homeland Security, but I did something wrong and God punished me, I guess,” he said.
