Scaramucci first endorsed Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush over Trump during the Republican primaries. In August of 2015, Scaramucci called Trump a “hack politician” during a TV appearance, adding that his rhetoric was “anti-American” after Trump made comments about “hedge fund guys paying nothing” in taxes.

Scaramucci on Friday addressed his comments during a White House press briefing, saying it was “one of the biggest mistakes that I made because I was an unexperienced person in the world of politics” and that Trump “brings it up every 15 seconds.”
