Scaramucci Says His Political Views ‘Don’t Matter’ as Records Show he was Pro-Hillary, Pro-LGBT, Pro-Gun Control and Anti-Wall

Tells Breitbart in Exclusive Interview They ‘Captured Spirit’ of America

Anthony Scaramucci showered Donald Trump with praise during yesterday’s press briefing announcing his new role, but political records and his personal Twitter account paint a very different picture of the White House’s new Communications Director.

Trump also weighed in on Scaramucci this morning, defending his decision to call the president “anti-American” and a “hack” in 2015, a tweet Scaramucci himself retweeted this morning:
