New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci announced Saturday he was purging old tweets that reflect policy views he no longer holds.
“Full transparency: I’m deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn’t be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & that’s all that matters,” Scaramucci tweeted Saturday afternoon.

Old tweets from Scaramucci show that he embraced some liberal policy stances in the last few years, just as President Trump did before he committed to running as a Republican.
The messages have garnered the media’s attention since outgoing White House press secretary Sean Spicer announced Friday he would be stepping down from his spokesman and communications roles.
“I am not a partisan, just practical. I voted for Clinton and Obama,” Scaramucci wrote on Twitter in November 2011.
Scaramucci also shared his liberal views on gay marriage, climate change, abortion, the border wall, and other issues.
