Kimmel and Colberrrrrrt are all over his jock because he's now Leftist-friendly.

Just goes to show you that it's not about principles or anything like that. It's about bashing the other side no matter what.

It's literally in the headline.

Anyway, Spicer can go jump in a lake for all I care. He's not fit company for decent people.

I guess if you tell yourself that Trump didn't win long enough, that you think it didn't really happen.

LOL
You may have forgotten, but the rest of us haven't.

Here's a REALLY BIG clue for you - Sean Spicer admits he 'absolutely' regrets scorching tirade about inauguration crowd sizes during his first day as White...

If it looks familiar to you, why guess what - it is the thread title!

Spicer started with the big most obvious lie he could have and he tried to force it down the throats of the media. He acted shamefully and he has no place in our politics nor our hearts.

I don't care how "nice" he is, how sorry he is. Spicer stood in front of America , Globe and openly, purposely lied lied and lied. He shouted at reporters, He debased and demeaned reporters.


I dont think it is OK for us to forgive him just like that.

Totally agree, and the same can be said for the PATHOGICAL LIAR/TROLL-IN-CHIEF squatting in our White House!

I genuinely feel bad for Spicer. By all accounts, he is a good guy and well liked. Sadly he got sucked into the vortex of the inexperienced early days and months of Trump's White House.

He lied almost every day. He knew he was lying and we knew he was lying. He showed that he didn't have any integrity.

Nope. He's going to have to work a little harder than THAT.

Oh, hell even Spicey told us what lie he told. He told us at the Emmy Awards. Did you miss it?

He lied about the size of the crowd, something that was easily disputed, and I don't think he should be given a free pass for that. There were so many ways that situation could have been handled that would not have smacked of gaslighting and would have preserved the trust America has in the press secretary as the voice of the administration. If the press secretary cannot be trusted to tell the truth about something so silly, he cannot be trusted to tell the truth about things that are much more serious.

If he didn't know he was lying that would be one thing. As in, if he was told something that turned out to not be true but he had no way of knowing it wasn't true. But he knew full well many of the things he was insisting on--such as the size of the inaugural crowds--were outright lies. And he doubled down on the lies when he was confronted with them--EVEN WHEN EVERYONE KNEW HE WAS LYING.

He damaged the office of the press secretary by participating in a daily lie-fest. Nope, he gets no pass for that. He also damaged his own reputation. He doesn't deserve to ever have a job where honesty and trust is required again--which would be just about any job you can think of.
