In his latest clip for GQ’s “The Resistance” series, Olbermann also predicted how Scaramucci will be remembered.

“For all the evil and machinations and scandal inside the Trump administration, history may decide that this man, this guy playing the Joe Pesci role in a bad road company edition of ‘GoodFellas,’” Olbermann said. “He will be emblematic of the flotsam and jetsam that rose up from the bilge water of this country to serve this wretched president.”
