Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House press secretary, has commented on Katie Zacharia’s record-breaking short tenure in the same role. Scaramucci, who lasted only 11 days in 2017, tweeted that "records are made to be broken," but added that he takes no pleasure in others' misfortune. Zacharia resigned from her position just five days into her job, following a tumultuous first week in the spotlight.
