Why it matters: Scaramucci, whose tenure in the White House lasted less than two weeks, is on a list with other former White House staffers who departed "under adverse circumstances," per Bloomberg. He tweeted on Friday evening: "The next time I will go to Washington it will be to visit the @smithsonian."
