The Mooch helps host Mayor Adams’ tony Hamptons fundraiser

New York City Mayor Eric Adams got a boost from an unusual source at a posh Hamptons fundraiser over the weekend: former President Donald Trump’s short-lived communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

The Mooch, who famously survived fewer than 11 days as the Republican president’s front man with the media in 2017, was touted on a flyer as a co-host of the tony two-hour Southampton reception Saturday supporting Adams.

Scaramucci was joined by John Catsimatidis, Todd Shapiro, Charlene Gayle, David Schwartz, Hon. Robert Cornegy, Hon. David Paterson, Victoria Schneps. Vincent Levien, James Malls, Andrew Ansbro and Michael Pitsinos to “cordially invite” other supporters to join them at the Capri Hotel Southampton, according to the flyer, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

The 59-year-old financier had been supportive of the Democratic mayor during the contentious 2021 New York City mayoral contest. Adams isn’t up for reelection until 2025.

Adams has billed himself as a “pragmatic” Democrat who is more supportive of law enforcement and less afraid to buck progressive orthodoxy than others in his party.

Despite being an outspoken Republican, Scaramucci has a history of playing nice with Empire State Democrats.

Last year, for instance, he became the first guest on former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s podcast, “As a Matter of Fact … with Andrew Cuomo.”

Scaramucci is currently backing Trump foe and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the 2024 GOP primary for president.

The Mooch has also heartily warned against a second Trump term.

“A good third of our country would like an insecure bully to return to power. Have to think about that and what has gone wrong,” he recently posted on X, formerly Twitter.
