Sean Spicer is out, reportedly because he was upset that Anthony Scaramucci, aka "Mooch," was named White House communications director.

We've had six months to get to know Spicey. But who is this Mooch character? Let's internet stalk him, shall we?

First thing you should know: He's a longtime Republican donor, a hedge fund manager, and he probably follows you on Twitter.

He follows me, which I didn't even realize until today. Overall, he follows around 168,000 people--not quite Taye Diggs numbers, but that's still some scammy #follow4follow stuff.

So, let's see if he's tweeted any of his policy positions ...

Ok Mooch, good so far.

Well, surely he hasn't quoted a famous figure whose name is synonymous with political deceit.

How about some terrible memes your Tea Party uncle emails you ...

He also loooves retweeting Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, and Donny Jr., who he has been friends with for a long time.

But the biggest revelation from his Twitter account: He's a little monster.

Sorry, Lady Gaga fans!
