“I’m not here blaming the president, Chris. I know there’s a lot of people who want to blame him. I think there’s blame on both sides. But I think that the big thing here now is that you’ve got 20 days, longest government shutdown in history. You’re going to start to affect the stock market and the economy,” Scaramucci told CNN host Chris Cuomo.
