so by playing along with the sketch, did spicer essentially admit that he lied to the american people on behalf of president trump? is that a laughing matter? are you talking to me? yes, patty. look, the white house press secretary has an awesome responsibility to the american people to tell the truth. and he betrayed that trust by lying to them on a consistent basis. and then he left the white house and went on national television and basically made a joke about betraying the trust of the american people. and that s pretty offensive. and not only is it offensive but it s wildly hypocritical. you know, sean spicer has spent the last eight months basically land-basing the media. calling them fake news, calling them irresponsible, elitist and liberal. and what does he do? he shows up at the glitziest, elitist event that hollywood has to offer and all for a buck?
ben, that s not being fair. listen, bill clinton lied under oath. and was impeached for it. and was impeached for it. yeah, you would have him on the oscars, wouldn t you? yeah, he made a joke about it, everyone would laugh. he just admitted today he said he should not have been so hard on reporters and kbasly admitted he lied to american people. if you don t allow people to make a joke about themselves, and you just crush them when they do that, what s the insentsive for everybody to say maybe i was a little harsh and i think you guys are getting it wrong. people are not so upset with sean spicer. they re upset with the folks who were there that invited sean spicer on, because they think they re normalizing sean spicer. so i get what you re saying but i m actually upset with both of them.
