Read Anthony Scaramucci’s old tweets and you’ll understand why he deleted some of them

New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci hasn’t always shared the political views of the administration he now serves.

In previous tweets, the Wall Street financier called Hillary Clinton “incredibly competent” and appeared to be at odds with his new boss on issues such as gun control, climate change, Islam and illegal immigration.

But on Saturday, the day after he became Trump’s communications director, he announced on Twitter that he’s deleting his old tweets, which he said are only a distraction.

“Full transparency: I’m deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn’t be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & that’s all that matters,” he tweeted.

“The politics of ‘gotcha’ are over. I have thick skin and we’re moving on to @POTUS agenda serving the American people,” he wrote in a follow-up tweet nearly two hours later.
