Newly appointed Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci aced his first day on the job. In a wonderfully done question-and-answer session with the liberal press, Scaramucci was charismatic, direct, likable and appeared very much at home in his new post.
For someone who's never worked in communications, @Scaramucci is a very impressive communicator.
Great hire, @realDonaldTrump. pic.twitter.com/6Tvq5vYs84— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 21, 2017

A very polished performance behind the podium from Scaramucci. Rare in first 6 months of this WH.

Given @Scaramucci's biz background, he is well suited for WH comm director as the job is selling @POTUS’s agenda to the American people pic.twitter.com/58toCNOclg

The Daily Caller rated Scaramucci’s performance as “smooth.”
DC wrote:
Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference as White House communications director.
Scaramucci spoke confidently from the podium and made an effort to call on as many reporters as possible, before ending the press conference with an air kiss to the media. Many reporters described Scaramucci’s performance as “smooth,” while others praised his comfortable speaking style.
“Anthony Scaramucci is showing here why President Trump picked him,” The Boston Globe’s DC bureau chief Matt Viser noted. “Smooth and soft-spoken. Lighthearted and optimistic.”
CNN anchor Dana Bash described Scaramucci as “smooth as silk as a talker.”
US News and World Report senior politics writer David Catanese said, “IF Scaramucci is this calm and smooth six months from now, it’ll serve him, the president and the press very well.”
“Anthony Scaramucci is having a very good, very smooth on-camera debut,” said Washington Post reporter Ashley Parker.
Vogue editor Elena Sheppard, complained that “Scaramucci is actually terrifying because he’s so smooth and good at this.”
Los Angeles Times reporter Jim Puzzanghera said Scaramucci walked “the tightrope between smooth and slick” in his first press conference.
“Trump will love this,” said Politico White House reporter Josh Dawsey. “Scaramucci says he is smart, a good communicator, a brilliant businessman, genuine, a good athlete [and] more.”
Smooth and affable, but the answer about the President's falsehood about millions of illegal votes was not reassuring.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Scaramucci made no bones about how disconnected the liberal media is from everyday Americans.
Anthony Scaramucci: I think there’s been at times a disconnect between the way we see the president and how much we love the president and the way perhaps some of you see the president. And I certainly see the American people see the president the way I do.
