We were rooting for you! (Tyra Banks voice.)
Suggested Reading
Fine, none of us were rooting for former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, but the hope, I guess, is that once he left the horrid Trump administration heโd finally admit that he was a lying ass liar and that heโs changed his ways.
Welp, that ainโt happening. Even before proving that all Easter bunnies are lightweight creepy, Spicy Facts was trash. He was trash when he joined the White House administration and now, after leaving the White House, heโs still trash.
Whyโs Spicer in the news? You guessed it, heโs pushing a book and is currently on a press tour for his weighty tomb of bullshit, The Briefing, that no one, including the most ardent MAGA hat wearers, is going to buy.
On Tuesday, BBC Newsnightโs Emily Maitlis tried to hold Spicerโs feet to the flames about the lies that he not only participated in but perpetuated. Like the time he claimed that the Trumpโs inauguration was the most widely attended inauguration in the history of an inauguration, which everyone with eyes and 2nd-grade reading comprehension knew was bullshit.
โIt became a joke,โ Maitlis told Spicer. โIt became something that defined you. You joked about it when you presented the Emmy Awards, but it wasnโt a joke,โ HuffPost reports.
โIt was the start of the most corrosive culture. You played with the truth. You led us down a dangerous path. You have corrupted discourse for the entire world by going along with these lies.โ
Hereโs the short of Spicerโs answer: OK, I kind of told a tall tale about the inauguration numbers but letโs be clear the media lies too!
You can watch the full interview below, but I warn you itโs triggering because Spicer is still trash.
