As we told you last night, C-SPAN political director Steve Scully — the guy who’s set to moderate the second presidential debate — asked Anthony Scaramucci a question that he probably didn’t mean to be public.
This is interesting. Moderator for second presidential debate (a former intern for then-Senator Joe Biden and former staff assistant for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy) …? pic.twitter.com/ULfVAwYaae

What’s even more interesting is that Scully deleted his tweet:

Steve Scully, the moderator for the next debate, has now deleted this tweet where he appears to be coordinating with Scaramucci and posted publicly instead of DM. pic.twitter.com/jKvGivOSHM

Welp.
So how long before he claims his account was hacked???

Funny you should ask! Scully is clearly very scared of how all of this looks, because he went a little overboard trying to clean up his mess:
When you boomer so hard that you mistakenly tweet a DM and then can't figure out how to delete the tweet you so just nuke your whole account pic.twitter.com/HgHjvxGotS

Awww, don’t be like that, Steve.
He's back and officially figured out how to delete the tweet alone. Lmao pic.twitter.com/oDvdE2uw0w

How embarrassing for him. But will it be embarrassing enough for the debate commission to find someone else to moderate the debate?
The debate commission is AWESOME. https://t.co/KFE3OuZ6yL

Can’t wait to find out just how awesome they are.
