“I like Hillary. ... I hope she runs, she is incredibly competent.”
Those words sound like something former President Barack Obama might have said, but they’re actually from Anthony Scaramucci, who was introduced to the public as the communications director for the Trump White House on Friday.
Within hours of the announcement of Scaramucci’s hiring, journalists and social media users had scrolled through his Twitter feed and uncovered a trove of posts that seemingly contradict things Trump has said on the campaign trail and in office.
Gizmodo dug up tweets from the 2016 campaign in which he expressed support for former candidate Jeb Bush, saying he “will make a great president.”
