National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch on Friday appeared to criticize newly named White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci’s opinions on gun control.

Loesch resurfaced a tweet Scaramucci sent in December 2012, in which he said he was opposed to legislation that blocked “sensible gun laws.”

“I don’t support that legalization, never had, I have always been for stronger gun control laws,” Scaramucci said in the tweet.

“Hmm,” Loesch tweeted in response. “How does Anthony Scaramucci as [spokesman] handle nation reciprocity when it becomes an issue?”

"Dana Loesch was not speaking on behalf of the National Rifle Association when she commented on recent White House personnel decisions," Jennifer Baker, the NRA's director of public affairs, told The Hill.

It was reported early Friday that President Trump had offered Scaramucci, Wall Street financier and longtime Trump supporter, the job of communications director and that Scaramucci has accepted.

Scaramucci will replace Mike Dubke, who resigned from the position in May after just three months on the job.

The news of Scaramucci's appointment to the position led to White House press secretary Sean Spicer's resignation on Friday.

Scaramucci was also previously linked to the ambassador position to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development but ultimately was not named to that post. He currently serves as a senior vice president at the U.S. Export-Import Bank.
