    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Anthony Scaramucci, who spent a short amount of time as White House communications director under former President Trump, said more Republicans don’t speak up about their opposition to Trump due to not wanting threats to their life.

    “Well, they probably don’t like death threats, Nicolle, I think we could probably start there,” Scaramucci told MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” host Nicolle Wallace on Thursday when she asked him about why some of those who have interacted with Trump directly find it hard to speak up about the “danger” he poses, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

    “And so … that could be the number one reason, but … I think with the generals, it has to do with their respect for the dignity of the Constitution and not wanting to bring military leadership into the political fray,” Scaramucci continued.

    “[L]et me just talk about my colleagues and friends, because we’re sort of like in this Trump recovery unit together, which would include [former Defense Secretary Mark Esper], [retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff],” Scaramucci said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last Friday.

    Scaramucci also talked about a “big” fight he had with Trump during his brief stint in the White House on the topic of “the institution of the presidency.”

    “It’s the only job in the country, as every one of us know, where all of the eligible voters get to vote on it, and therefore you’re president for everybody.”
