  • Sean Spicer Time to move on

    Posted by kaldridgewv2211 on April 11, 2017 at 11:50 am

    Holy cow.  Has anyone seen tidbits from Sean Spicer’s presser today.  I listened to a brief clip someone sent me of him comparing Assad and Hitler.  These are the words coming out of his mouth.
     
    You had someone as despicable as Hitler, who didnt even sink to using chemical weapons.
     
    He was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing.
     
    So Sean, the Jews weren’t Germans?  WTF Sean.

    He is such an embarrassment–unprofessional and ignorant–this is the alt right white washing of the Holocaust–and passover started yesterday/ this is holy week
    Dying by gas is a horrific death.  Hitler used everything from gas to medical experiments
    I have never seen a more inept/tone deaf administration –they created a situation to  up the President’s tanking ratings–forget international law

      Spicer said Trump wants to destabilize the mid-East–Freudian slip
      and folks Trump has ships enroute to N. Korea

        actions speak– Trump/Ivanka  and Jared did not attend The White House Passover Seder–if this had been President Obama
        Ivanka–complicit. Period.

            I caught some of her presser.  She seems vastly better than Spicemaster.  Small sample size but it didn’t seem like it was her vs the press.  Like the anti-Spicer.  He’s also getting ripped because he supposedly was trying to hide in in and around the schrubs to escape questions.  He’s being mercilessly mocked on Twitter for it.  Someone has the easter bunny pic of him standing between George and Laura Bsuh.

                  It was a journalistic error.  And the paper did exactly what it is supposed to do when it incorrectly reports a story.  It promptly issues a correction.
                   
                  That’s what is supposed to happen.
                   
                  News outlets of all types and in all media formats make mistakes.  They have been making those errors and issuing appropriate corrections and/or retractions when necessary long before the moniker of “fake news”.
                   
                  I would not put this story into that category myself.  I would, however, call it it a journalistic failure. The reporter caved to the temptation of click bait and the editor didn’t stop it.

                    When you first read about the bushes it does come off like he’s hiding in a bush.  However, even though it turns out to be incorrect, I can totally believe that would be a Spicer move.  Jumping into the hedges like he’s diving away from a grenade.  More cannon fodder for Saturday Night Live.

                      So now I’m reading she’s as big a BS artist as Spicemaster. She made claims about FBI agents calling her about Comey and what I’m reading is most career FBI news coverage says there’s about a 0% chance anyone would be talking to her.

                      She said she had spoken to “countless numbers” of FBI agents in the period of time between Comey’s firing and her press conference.

                  huddled among the Bushes–pathetic but what you do when you sold your soul to devil and lost your reputation
                  Huckabee-Sanders has lied and shows she has slither right into the gutter–an atrocious disaster
                  anything associated with Trump turns to crap–4 failed casinos

    Apparently someone in the White House complained to The Washington Post about how they described that episode, because this truly amazing correction was attached to the article yesterday: This story has been updated to more precisely describe White House press secretary Sean Spicers location late Tuesday night. Spicer huddled with his staff among bushes near television sets on the White House grounds, not in the bushes. I wasnt in the bushes, I was merely among the bushes. You know, like they accepted me as one of their own.
     
     
    And when the White House is clarifying the press secretarys position in relation to bushes, its important to remember, America is both among and in deep sh*t.  [i]SETH MEYERS[/i]

    President Donald Trump is considering scaling back White House press secretary Sean Spicers public role, according to several officials familiar with the presidents thinking, as Trump also weighs a broader shakeup of his communications shop in the wake of several scandals.

    The press secretary, who has turned into a household name over the past five months and garnered sky-high television ratings for his daily press briefings, has also drawn the ire of the president. He is no longer expected to do a daily, on-camera briefing after Trumps foreign trip, which begins Friday, the officials said.

    The briefings have become one of the most dreaded parts of the presidents day, and Trump has told allies and aides he doesn’t want Spicer, who has developed a belligerent persona from behind the lectern, publicly defending and explaining the message anymore, officials added.

        Yep. Apparently Spicer was clear that he could not work with Scaramucci.
         
         
        And Reince Priebus may be next.  Supposedly he said that Scaramucci would get a White House job “over my dead body”.

                  Gordon Gecco, that lizard in the White House & the “That guy!” meme. Gucci Scaramucci.

                  Trump can’t get out of the 80’s.

                Spicey did a heck of a job [size=”1″][sup](TM)[/sup][/size] representing Trump. Trump now has an approval rating of 60%.

            Looks like someone was prematurely thawed out. He was supposed to remain frozen until 3002.

            I know Fox & Friends sort of does it but … Scaramucci actually spoke directly to Trump while doing the Sunday shows today.
             
            An audience of 1… that matters.

    Yesterday’s White House press briefing felt like a bit of a watershed moment.

    Repeatedly questioned over her past statements regarding Stormy Daniels and Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders had no acceptable response.

    The implication from the Press core was she had either overtly lied to them in the past or was not in the loop, and therefore worthless as a source of information.

    [link=https://www.auntminnie.com/Forum/"https:/www.mediaite.com/tv/jim-acosta-confronts-sarah-sanders-over-giuliani-bombshell-in-tense-showdown-were-you-lying-to-us/"]Jim Acosta was most pointed: [/link]

    Acosta brought up the conflicting timelines in the White House press briefing, asking Sanders, How can you only be aware of something ten days to two weeks ago, but at the same time in the process of paying monthly retainers that apparently covered this reimbursement to Michael Cohen?

    Sanders said she couldnt get into the details, but Acosta grilled the press secretary further by bringing up what she previously said about Trump denying the underlying claims about Daniels and reimbursement.

    Were you lying to us at the time, or were you in the dark?

    [/QUOTE]

    Sanders’ response was that she presented “the best information she had available at the time.”

    That’s not going to help the reputation of a Press Secretary already viewed as compromised.

    If she doesn’t go to Trump/Kelly and the lawyers and demand to be read in with the full truth then she should quit.

      Newsmax pulls Sean Spicer as White House “reporter” before he can even get through the door.
       
      (Turns out he is also a registered lobbyist … so he’s not going to get a journalist credential)
