Washington (CNN) Ex-White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said "someone had it out" for the White House communications aide who was quietly let go on Tuesday after making a comment about Sen. John McCain's health. The aide, Kelly Sadler, had made the misguided remark, reportedly intended as a joke, nearly a month ago. "Someone had it out for Kelly Sadler," Scaramucci, who served as the White House communications director for less than two weeks last summer, told CNN's Chris Cuomo. CNN previously reported that Sadler's comment had been made in response to McCain's opposition to President Donald Trump's CIA director pick, Gina Haspel. Immediately after the remark was reported, the White House was reluctant to condemn it.
