Anthony Scaramucci’s eleven days as White House Communications Director instantly sparked a million memes, but he might soon find his record beat by Katie Zacharia’s tenuous hold on her new gig as White House Press Secretary.

Scaramucci was appointed by President Donald Trump on July 21, 2017. From the beginning, the “Mooch” had a notoriously fractious relationship with then-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Within days, Priebus had resigned and Scaramucci had gotten tangled up making overly chatty comments to a reporter without first getting an agreement to go off the record; Trump fired Scaramucci on July 31, 2017.

Zacharia’s first day as press secretary has been a contender for Scaramucci’s brief White House tenure. She was announced as the latest MAGA mouthpiece for the administration earlier this month, taking over after her predecessor Karoline Leavitt resigned after the birth of her second child. She kicked off her tenure presiding over the White House Press Briefing Room Tuesday to decidedly brutal reviews.

In addition to the awkwardness of her first press briefing, Zacharia is facing more serious questions about her résumé. She has repeatedly publicly claimed she is a lawyer but there does not seem to be any evidence she passed the bar exam anywhere in the U.S. A job she had at a law firm in Beijing, China a few months after graduating law school does not plausibly appear to have conveyed any Chinese bar admission (only Chinese citizens can take the Chinese bar exam and she did not meet the requirements for foreign lawyers admitted in another jurisdiction to advise Chinese clients on those outside jurisdictions); there is similarly no reports of her earning any bar admission in another country.

Still, Zacharia insisted Tuesday that she had “practiced international transactional law, with all the appropriate credentials;” a White House official told a reporter she “moved to China with her husband after graduating because of his job at an American private equity firm while she worked on international transaction law.”

Scaramucci reacted to Zacharia’s rough debut by openly pondering if she could outlast his time in the White House.

 

“The clock is running,” he wrote in a tweet sharing a flashback video of Sean Spicer’s time in the briefing room.

“Thus far 1/11th of a Scaramucci,” the man who inspired the meme added.

Scaramucci did offer a showing of grace to Zacharia in a later tweet, replying to a commenter who suggested he might be “happy” with her rough start “because his record might get broken.”

“Not me,” wrote Scaramucci. “I hope she makes it.”
