Ryan Lizza, the New Yorker reporter who recorded Anthony Scaramucci’s profanity-laced tirade which ultimately got the former White House Comms Director canned, has been fired for alleged ‘improper sexual conduct’.
HuffPo’s Yashar Ali tweeted, “Ryan Lizza out at the New Yorker: “The New Yorker recently learned that Ryan Lizza engaged in what we believe was improper sexual conduct. We have reviewed the matter and, as a result, have severed ties with Lizza. Due to a request for privacy, we are not commenting further.””

As previously reported, White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci called reporter Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker in late July.
Scaramucci had been Communications Director for 10 days.
Scaramucci threatened to fire the White House communications staff and descended into a profanity-laced rant about senior strategist Steve Bannon and then-Chief of Staff Reince Preibus.
Scaramucci told Lizza Priebus was “a f***ing paranoid schizophrenic.” He then turned on Steve Bannon saying, “I’m not Steve Bannon. I’m not trying to suck my own c**k.”
A few days later Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Scaramucci was fired after his interview with The New Yorker.
In early August, Scaramucci fired off a mini tweetstorm attacking The New Yorker reporter who outed his private, profanity-laced tirade to the press which ultimately led to his firing, “Ryan Lizza is the Linda Tripp of 2017. People know. And he is up at night not being able to live with himself,” Scaramucci said in the first tweet.
Now Lizza is OUT for alleged improper sexual conduct. Life comes at you fast.
