Watch: After Super Bowl Ad Nixed, Scaramucci Defends His Politics: 'I've Been a Gay Rights Activist My Whole Life'

Anthony Scaramucci, who served as the White House communications director for the Trump administration for just ten days, was reportedly set to star in a Super Bowl ad for T-Mobile but the deal was suddenly cut, TMZ reported Thursday. In response, Scaramucci said he believes the company didn't use him for the commercial because of his politics even though he says he's "been a gay rights activist my whole life."

TMZ first reported T-Mobile initially contacted Scaramucci and planned on giving him a six-figure deal for the spot, in which he would be standing "at a podium fielding questions about T-Mobile, and whenever someone had their information wrong he'd scream, 'Fake news!!!'" But days after the offer, "it was pulled with no explanation."

Sources connected with Scaramucci told the celebrity news site they believe the deal was nixed over his politics. TMZ caught up with the financier at LAX Thursday and asked him why he thinks the T-Mobile deal fell through, sparking him to defend his own politics.

"What is it about your politics that T-Mobile would have a problem with?" a TMZ reporter asks.

"We're in a very polarized society right now, so my guess is it's a combination of things," he responded. "The weird thing about is that I've been a gay rights activist my whole life so because I've sided with Trump on the election I guess I don't get any credit for that.

"I'm actually a mixed bag politically and quite centrist," he added. "But that's ok it's their decision no big deal."

Scaramucci also told TMZ he believes the Super Bowl ad was a proposed idea by T-Mobile but that it "went up the chain of command and got killed. That's probably what happened."

Scaramucci has tweeted in the past that he supports gay rights equality.

His tweets about the issue go far back as 2012.

More recently, in November 2016, he told BBC HardTalk that he's donated to the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ groups. He also claimed Elton John would perform at Trump's ingratiation, which did not happen.
