New White House Comm Director Has A Liberal Past

Anthony Scaramucci

Newly installed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has a liberal background, and he’s quickly deleting as much of his progressive side as he can on Twitter.

Scaramucci says he’s deleting the tweets because they represent old views that he has now “evolved” from, and the tweets shouldn’t be a “distraction.”

It turns out the new comm director is pro-marriage equality, pro-gun control, pro-choice and believes in climate change. Oh, during the 2016 presidential campaign, he tweeted that “walls don’t work. Never have never will.”

Scaramucci is around 52 years old. I find it hard to believe views he held at 47 would have changed that much.

Of course, this is the internet where everything is forever.

Here’s a small selection of what folks have found.

Canada Brings Liberal Party Back To Power After A Decade Of Conservatism

After a decade of conservative rule, Canada has returned the Liberal party back to power, with Justin Trudeau (sone of the former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau) as Prime Minister.

In addition to pledging to repair the chilly relations with the Obama administration, Trudeau campaigned on a promise to run a C$10 billion annual budget deficit for three years to invest in infrastructure and help stimulate Canada’s anemic economic growth.

Trudeau also says he will withdraw Canada from combat against Islamic State militants shifting Canadian support to humanitarian aid and training. Additionally, the new Prime Minister will place a higher focus on climate change than his predecessor.
