Old tweets from incoming White House communications director Anthony 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.
“I am not a partisan just practical. I voted for Clinton and Obama,” Scaramucci wrote on Twitter in November 2011.

In 2012, Scaramucci reacted to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings with a call for gun control.“I have always been for strong gun control laws,” Scaramucci wrote in December 2012.

Earlier that year, he wrote, “We (the USA) has 5% of the world’s population but 50% of the world’s guns. Enough is enough. It is just common sense it apply more controls.”
The 53-year-old Long Island native also urged conservatives to embrace gay marriage and rights in 2012.
