Sean Spicer Still an Asshole

[Reporter Mike] Allen wrote in Axios Thursday morning that when he had learned Spicer has a propensity for taking detailed notes—something that could be of interest to special counsel Robert Mueller as he investigates President Donald Trump’s actions—he sent Spicer a text message asking about his note-taking practices at the White House.

Spicer refused to answer Allen’s questions, though.

“Mike, please stop texting/emailing me unsolicited anymore,” Spicer responded, per Allen.

Pressed by the reporter, Spicer sent another text message reading, “From a legal standpoint I want to be clear: Do not email or text me again. Should you do again I will report to the appropriate authorities.”

What are the appropriate authorities for reporting that? When did emailing become illegal? Does he not know how to filter his emails to send them to the trash bypassing his inbox?

The former press secretary followed up with a similar email, threatening to “contact the appropriate legal authorities to address your harassment,” according to Allen.

Harassment. What a dickhead. A lying dickhead.

Sean Spicer, on a press tour now that he’s left the Trump administration, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday that he never “knowingly” lied as White House press secretary.

“I don’t think so,” Spicer told ABC News when asked if he lied during his White House tenure.

“I have not knowingly done anything to do that, no,” he added when pressed again.

Bullshit.

Spicer notoriously berated reporters in January for reporting that fewer people attended Trump’s inauguration than in past years, based on aerial photographs showing larger crowds at former President Obama’s inauguration.

“This was the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration, period,” Spicer said at the time.

“I think it might’ve been better to be a lot more specific with what we were talking about in terms of the universe, not focus so much on photographic evidence, et cetera,” Spicer told ABC.

WTF does that mean?

In terms of the universe? It's still not true. Don't focus so much on photographic evidence? That's proposing and justifying a lie right there.

“I could’ve probably had more facts at hand and been more articulate.”

“This was the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration, period,” is actually very articulate. How did he know that without the facts?

He lied. Period.

Still a dick, and having him do something cutesie at the Emmy Awards doesn't change that. And it doesn't rehabilitate him.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
