Tony the Mooch risking carpal tunnel syndrome from repeatedly hammering delete key on Twitter

New Trump comm head Scaramucci admits he’s deleting tweets critical of president — in the name of ‘transparency’



Switching from alternative facts to alternative history, new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci admitted on Saturday that he is deleting personal tweets that are critical of President Trump and some of his policies

According to Scaramucci, he is doing so for “transparency” and because his views have suddenly evolved after landing the White House gig.

Writing on Twitter, Scaramucci stated, “Full transparency: I’m deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn’t be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & that’s all that matters.”

Along with tweets advocating for tougher gun control, Scaramucci also took some shots at Trump over the years (see below) and climate change deniers:

Emulating the Ministry of Truth complete with an Orwellian perversion of language.

Fasten your seat belts, this is going to be scary ride.

After this goon and Jr.'s "transparency" charades, Look for them to change the official language of the US from English to Newspeak.

Perhaps, as communications director, he could communicate how and why his opinions changed. E.g., why is climate change suddenly not real?

Republicans won't ask those questions, though. They'll just keep voting for whomever Minitrue tells them to.
