Even if this was true, what, it happened like many decades ago? Who cares.

Anyhow, if this allegation is true, I'm sure Spicer will soon come up with the standard apology as per usual these days ("Recently, an allegation was made that I had used a racially offensive term towards another when I was a naive young boy. blah blah blah").

A black man yelled at former White House press secretary Sean Spicer in a bookstore and accused Spicer of calling him a racial slur when they were students at a prep school decades ago.

Spicer was "taken aback" by the man's "outrageous claim" and had no recollection of him or of being in school with him, his publicist said on Saturday.

Spicer was at a book signing in Middletown on Friday to promote his new book reflecting on his time at the press podium for President Donald Trump.

What article did you read? The article linked says Spicer called him the N word and then challenged him to a fight.

Spicer doesn't remember this because they were both in grade school at the time.

Spicer. This book tour is proving a disaster.

He warmed up his sucky book with a few private corporate speaking engagements where people were mostly polite. Guess that did not prepare him for a public that never forgot what a parasitic, opportunistic douche he was.

I really don't care what anybody said to somebody in 1989.
The guy got his 5 minutes of fame (the allegation isn't worth 15 minutes), so now we can forget about it.

I almost have to wonder if the guy making the claim was hired by the publisher for cheap publicity because wow...that's some weak crap going back to gradeschool lmfao.

They weren't in grade school at the time, which is elementary school, they would have been in high school.

Interesting to see how this plays out.

You're correct, Clara, and thanks for the post.

Still embarrassing for the guy who is holding a grudge for so long that he has to make a scene in public over something that happened when they were kids.

... only because it's an indicator of just how TDS-addled the media has become.
