Let’s remember Sean Spicer’s most heinous deceptions—now with a laugh track
Sean Spicer is not a particularly funny guy, a fact made evident by—well, everything about him, but let’s just go with his running war on Dippin’ Dots, or the fact that he is so wracked with contempt and rage that he eats a fucking pack of gum per day, or the way he approaches press conferences, which are the one essential function of his job, as if he spends the rest of his time in a cage being poked by electrified rods.
Actually, that would explain a lot about the general demeanor of the Trump administration. Spicer shares with fellow Trump frontispiece Kellyanne Conway a skill for lying but lacks her graceful, “the real fake news here” brand of misdirection, instead bluntly lashing out at the reporters who attempt to report around him. Accordingly, the general response to his aggressive lies, mischaracterizations, and Holocaust denials in real life are shocked silences, groans, and exasperated attempts to wrangle some semblance of truth out of him.
