Sean Spicer Thanks Savanah Guthrie For Only Listing Three Lies Trump Made Him Tell
Sean Spicer appeared on the Today show Thursday morning to promote his new book and was pressed by host Savannah Guthrie about President Donald Trump making the former White House press secretary debase himself.
“Is the president a truthful person?” Guthrie asked Spicer.
“I believe so,” Spicer replied.
“You never felt like he had you go out there and stick your neck out for claims he knew to be false?” she followed-up after a pause.
“Look he’s the ultimate salesman, I think he talks about it in his books how he uses hyperbole to sell issues and that’s how he his, he’s a salesman and a negotiator and a businessman first and foremost,” Spicer said.
“But do you regret sticking your neck out for his more outlandish claims that turn out to be false?” Guthrie said. “I’m thinking about for example, the inauguration crowd size, the three to five million fraudulent votes in the election, having tapes of Comey in the Oval Office. I mean those are three examples of things that are now known not to be true –”
“I appreciate you keeping it to three,” Spicer replied.
The former press secretary revealed that even Trump was angry with him when he went out and told reporters, on his first day at the White House press briefing podium, his most infamous lie: “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.”
