YESTERDAY, SEAN SPICER IS TOLD BY THE PRESIDENT, OR BY THE
WAY, I FIRED JAMES COMEY, GOOD LUCK TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT.
GO
AHEAD.
HE'S LIKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
OF COURSE TRUMP
STUMBLED INTO IT WITHOUT ANY PLAN AT ALL, AND NOW SPICER HAS
TO SOMEHOW FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS.
HE IS PUT IN AN
INCREDIBLY AWKWARD SITUATION, THERE IS PRESS ALL AROUND HIM
WHEN THIS STUFF BREAKS, AND THERE ARE CAMERAS RIGHT AROUND
THIS SET OF BUSHES.
SO HE GOES WITH A COUPLE OF AIDES AND HIDES
BEHIND THE BUSHES.
THIS IS GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE.
AND THEN AN
INCREDIBLY AWKWARD INTERACTION WITH THE PRESS HAPPENS WHICH I
WILL TELL YOU ABOUT IN A SECOND, BUT TODAY WE FIND OUT THE
PRESIDENT WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HOW SPICER HANDLED THIS, AND HE IS
IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.
LET'S GO TO JIM ACOSTA'S TWEET FROM CNN
--
>>THAT IS SARAH HUCKABEE
SANDERS, DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY
--
>>THE REASON YOU SAW SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS ALL OVER TV
RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE PULLED SPICER.
THE PRESIDENT IS
SO MAD AT HOW SPICER HANDLED THE SITUATION LAST NIGHT THAT HE'S
HAVING SANDERS TRY OUT BASICALLY IN PRIME TIME.
LOOK AT HOW
IMPORTANT THIS IS.
SPICER IS NOT ON VACATION.
THIS IS AS
IMPORTANT A STORY AS IT GETS, YOU JUST FIRED THE FBI DIRECTOR
INVESTIGATING YOU.
WHEN SPICER IS NOT OUT THERE, THAT'S A BIG
VOTE OF NO-CONFIDENCE.
BY THE WAY, ONE OTHER THING THE PRESS
ISN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING, AND I DON'T KNOW,
I GRANT YOU THIS IS SPECULATION -- MAYBE SPICER IS UNCOMFORTABLE
DEFENDING TRUMP FOR FIRING THE DIRECTOR THAT WAS INVESTIGATING
HIM.
IF YOU HAVE ANY MORALITY AT ALL, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT SEAN
SPICER DOES, COULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE TRYING TO DEFEND
THAT HORRIFIC POSITION, AND BY THE WAY IF YOU FIRED COMEY
LIKELY HE HAD SOMETHING ON YOU, LIKELY YOU WILL GET CAUGHT, EVEN
IF YOU DON'T HAVE MORALITY, ANYONE WITH COMMON SENSE PULLS
THE CHUTE AND GET OUT OF THERE.
I LEFT AS SOON AS HE FIRED
COMEY.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY IT GOES, WE KNOW TRUMP IS MAD AT
HIM, LET ME GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS ON THAT --
>>THEN WE GO TO THE WASHINGTON
POST, AND THEY EXPLAIN THAT
AWKWARD INTERACTION LAST NIGHT.
THEY SAY SPICER --
>>AND WHEN HE COMES OUT, HE TELLS EVERYBODY, TURN THE LIGHTS
OFF.
I DON'T WANT ANY LIGHTS.
AND HE WON'T TALK TO ANY
REPORTERS UNTIL THEY ALL TURN THEIR LIGHTS OFF.
I THINK THERE
IS A METAPHOR IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
WHATEVER YOU DO, I
DON'T WANT THE SPOTLIGHT ON THIS ISSUE.
THEN THEY ASK HIM --
>>OKAY, THAT IS PRETTY BAD.
I'M GOING TO DEFEND SEAN SPICER.
YOU
KNOW WHY?
ONE, HE DOESN'T KNOW.
I'M NOT KIDDING.
THE
MORON-IN-CHEIF, THE PRESIDENT, FIRES THIS GUY WHO WAS
INVESTIGATING HIM, DOESN'T TELL SEAN SPICER ANYTHING, DOESN'T
TELL HIM THE LAST TIME HE MET WITH COMEY, DOESN'T GIVE HIM A
BATTLE PLAN, AND THEN GOES AND SAYS, DEFEND ME, MAKE EVERYONE
LIKE ME.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, WHAT YOU DID WAS INCREDIBLY STUPID
AND CORRUPT, THEN YOU PUT SEAN SPICER OUT THERE AND GO, TELL
THE PRESS WHAT A WONDERFUL THING IT WAS.
THAT IS NOT DOABLE.
LOOK, SEAN SPICER IS NOT A GUY I HAVE A LOT OF SYMPATHY FOR, BUT
THIS WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION HE WAS PUT IN.
IF THEY FIRE HIM
THEY ARE DOING HIM A HUGE FAVOR.
SEAN, YOU MIGHT BE ANNOYED THAT
YOU HAVE BEEN SIDELINED AND THEY HAVE SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS IN
THERE, IF I WAS YOU I WOULD BE COUNTING MY BLESSINGS.
I WOULD
GO TO THE PRESIDENT AND SAY I'M SO SORRY I LET YOU DOWN, THAT I
COULDN'T DEFEND YOU FIRING THE GUY INVESTIGATING YOU, I HAVE TO
SUBMIT MY RESIGNATION.
GET OUT OF THERE, MAN.
HERE IS MY
MESSAGE TO SEAN SPICER.
SOMEBODY TAKE A PICTURE OF ME --
GET OUT!
