Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Sunday the similiarities between President Trump and Anthony Scaramuci make Trump “happy.”

“President Trump is a New Yorker. He and Scaramucci sort of speak the same language,” Gingrich told radio show host John Catsimatidis in a pre-taped interview on AM 970 in New York City that aired Sunday. “And this way he has somebody that makes him kind of comfortable that he’s getting taken care of.”
