Scaramucci deletes old tweets bashing Trump.

President Trump's new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci went on a Twitter purge Friday, deleting years-old tweets bashing his new boss and supporting positions like gun control.

One of the deleted tweets referred to the Trump campaign as a "spectacle," which was pointed out by a reporter who was swiftly blocked by Scaramucci.

Another deleted tweet praised Trump's eventual challenger, Hillary Clinton. In a now-deleted tweet from 2012, Scaramucci calls the former Democratic secretary of State "incredibly competent."

Another deleted tweet from the same year included a statistic on gun ownership in the United States, and a third included a direct statement of support for "strong gun control laws."

One tweet attacked top Trump supporter and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, insulting his "judgment" for joining the Trump team.

During a White House press briefing on Friday, Scaramucci apologized for old comments he made attacking Trump, who he said "never" lets Scaramucci forget his old remarks.

“He brings it up every 15 seconds, OK?

One of the biggest mistakes I made, because I was an inexperienced person in the world of politics.

I was supporting another candidate. I should have never said that about him.

So Mr. President, if you’re listening, I personally apologize for the 50th time for saying that,” Scaramucci said.
