Sean Spicer on ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars' is a slap in the face to every American he lied to
NBC News ^ | By Kurt Bardella, NBC News THINK contributor

Posted on 08/22/2019 11:19:33 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

On Wednesday morning, ABC rewarded former White House press secretary Sean Spicer with a spot on the new season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Making the announcement on ABC’s flagship program, “Good Morning America,” Spicer waved to the live studio audience from behind a prop podium.

The dancing competition has long been a popular place for washed up celebrities looking to rehabilitate or pump up their image. But Spicer shouldn’t get that chance — and he certainly doesn’t deserve it.

More than halfway into this White House’s train wreck of a tenure, flagrant lying and attacks on the free press have become standard operating procedure. This week began with President Donald Trump tweeting, “The LameStream Media is far beyond Fake News, they are treading in very dangerous territory!” According to The Washington Post, Trump has made more than 10,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president of the United States.

But as conditioned as we all now are to this administration’s lies, it’s important to remember how we got here. During his first White House press briefing, on the first full day of Trump’s presidency, Spicer infamously declared that, “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.” When confronted with evidence that this claim wasn’t true, Spicer doubled down on the lie, responding, “it was the most–watched inaugural.” (Spicer would later go on to concede that he “screwed up” and characterized it as a “moment he regretted.” But not until he'd left the White House, of course.)

Sure, arguing over the size of an inauguration crowd may seem trivial. But Spicer’s very bold, very public and very disprovable lie arguably set the tone for the entire Trump presidency. This White House, Spicer implied, would not be concerned with facts and accuracy.

RE: .let’s go through the long list of lies Obama and his Administration told

They never had a project cataloging Obama’s lies.

He definitely set off my gaydar. He’s now “proud” of his Asian-American heritage. I guess he’s special, now.

I didn’t think there was a problem.

Apparently he did. Now he’s a Huffington Post favorite.

Any thinking person can see how sickeningly-partisan the media have been for over 11 years, especially.

Now, when I say “thinking person” that automatically excludes liberals who go by “feelings”....

I recommend Sean Spicer’s book on his time in the Trump WH and how we eventually joined the TRump admin. Great hilarious book. The dude just hates libs.

So let me get this straight.

One fake news network, NBC, is upset with another fake news network, ABC, for giving who they think is a former fake news spokesman, Spicer, a chance in the spotlight?

Liars are upset that other liars are hiring a liar.

NBC is just taking a cheap shot at a popular show on another network.

Obama’s Press Secretary never lied to us on days of the week beginning with the letter X.

Saw him on Fox and Friends this morning and he stated that it was the host of the freak show that objected to him being selected to participate.......for political reasons of course.

I never watch it so who cares......

NBC is butt hurt over Trump calling them fake news. He doubled down on it yesterday, and now we have this screed.

I was thinking something similar. This Kurt fella has a severe case of the red-assed baboon butt hurt. He should get an ice bath and a salve for that!

we need to red flag this Kurt Bardella. He is speaking about violence.

He should not be allowed to purchase a gun.

Kurt works for NBC and he has the gall to talk about TRUTH?

AS SOMEONE RECENTLY SAID...”NBC IS WORSE THAN CNN”...THAT’S QUITE AND OBSERVATION AND SOOOOO TRUE.

Shut up, Kurt.
