‘About Half a Scaramucci’: Twitter reacts to Donald Trump firing Sidney Powell from legal team

Twitter users reacted today to shocking news that Donald Trump had left one of his top lawyers, Sidney Powell, and hinted that she had never been part of his legal team, just days after he led a press conference. on campaign demands.

In a statement today, Trump’s legal team said that “Sidney Powell is practicing law on his own,” adding that she is not a personal attorney for Donald Trump.

However, the statement came just a week after Trump named Powell as one of the top members of his legal team to fight the election results.

Trump took steps to distance himself from Powell today after she accused George Gov. Brian Kemp, a Trump ally, of being an accessory to electoral crimes.

Last week, at a press conference with Rudy Giuliani, Powell made headlines after claiming, without providing any evidence, that Venezuela and the late Hugo Chávez were behind the plot to steal the election from Donald Trump.

News that Trump and Powell will no longer be working together sparked Twitter this afternoon.

Anthony Scaramucci, a former White House communications director, called the situation “classic Trump.” “Coercing people to lie and then firing them for following his instructions. A death cult where everyone drinks the poison except him,” he wrote.

Senator Adam Morfeld noted that Powell lasted “about half a Scaramucci,” alluding to the fact that Scaramucci only lasted 10 days working for Trump in the White House.

Some people joked that just like Trump is doing, Powell should refuse to give up his role within the team.

Multiple people also provided evidence that Powell had been appointed multiple times as a member of Trump’s legal team.
