Scaramucci was reportedly hired directly by President Donald Trump to the objections of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.
ABC News’ Jonathan Karl said on Twitter that when he went to ask Spicer about Scaramucci’s hiring he slammed the door in the reporter’s face.
Strange times — I just went to ask @PressSec (@seanspicer) a question about @Scaramucci. He slammed the door in my face.

Democrat anti-President Trump activist and California Rep. Maxine Waters was the first to welcome Spicer to the #Resistance.
Congratulations Sean Spicer. You’ve got more guts than Jeff Sessions!
— Maxine Waters (@MaxineWaters) July 21, 2017
Other’s that support the president are happy for Spicer, while buzz and speculation ran rampant:
Sean Spicer had a great effort, but came from the old GOP school & assumed a good faith press
Scaramucci knows how to create news cycles

Sad to see @seanspicer go. Tough, even impossible job. Best of luck to @Scaramucci.

Sean Spicer told WH he would quit if they hired Scarsmucci. That was another reason Scaramucci got hired immediately.

I'm more surprised @seanspicer held out this long. You had the worst job in the world. Respect for doing a job nobody wanted.
