Story highlights Scaramucci defended Trump's decision to exit the Paris climate agreement earlier this yearHe said he believed the global warming tweet came from Trump himself, not his social media director, Dan ScavinoWashington (CNN) Short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Sunday defended President Donald Trump's tweet last week on climate change, saying that his actual opinion on the subject might surprise people. "I think you guys should ask him directly if he's a climate change denier. I think you'll find you'll be surprised by that answer." Scaramucci was referencing Trump's tweet on Thursday suggesting that climate change could be a good thing given that East Coast cities have been gripped by freezing temperatures. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against.
