He was going to moderate a "Presidential" debate. C-SPAN is a not-for-profit which is supposed to be even more objective than the supposedly objective rest of the media. Trump tweeted something (I forget what) and Scully sent a tweet, apparently thinking it was a DM, to some big league lefty operator, asking "Should I respond to Trump?"
When he was called on it, he claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked. Several obvious problems with this. Lo and behold, he crawled ass-up down the coconut tree and admitted that he lied.
Now he'll get a comfy vacation until C-SPAN lets him out of the doghouse. Or until CNN hires him, or even Fox these days.
Scully obviously thought he was private messaging but ended up tweeting to Anthony Scaramucci--who was once supposedly MAGA but then turned like a snake--"Should I respond to Trump?" Scaramucci then tweeted something like "Ignore. Some bad stuff's going down." (paraphrased). Twitter then blew up.
European here, can someone tell me what happened here?

Can someone explain the context for what he said? How is "should I respond to Trump?" Bad?
Is it implied that he meant "lol, should I tell him I am a never trumper xD?
