The President-elect’s future cabin boy Sean Spicer is trying out defending absurdly stupid political narratives in defense of Trump, and wow is he terrible at it.
Watch below:
It’s amazing what this guy is able to say without laughing and without shame:
When asked about the U.S. intelligence assessment that Russian hackers tried to influence the presidential election in favor of Trump during a Sunday segment on ABC’s “This Week,” Sean Spicer turned the question around.
“When are we going to start talking about the other side of this? Which is: What did Hillary Clinton do to influence the election? Is she being punished in any way?” Spicer asked, referencing the fact the Democratic nominee received debate questions ahead of time during the primary.
And later:
“The fact is that everyone wants to make Donald Trump admit to certain things,” Spicer said.
“But the fact of the matter is, we’re having part of a conversation. Why aren’t we talking about … other influences on the election?” he asked.“Why aren’t we talking about Hillary Clinton getting debate questions ahead of time? That’s a pretty valid attempt to influence an election,” he continued.
“… I can tell you this, if my boss at the time, Reince Priebus, had gotten the debate questions, and handed them off, he would have been driven out of this town on a stake, and Donald Trump would have been vilified. No one wants to ask those questions now.”
It is shocking how deep a dive in the sewer of stupidity these people are willing to take for Trump, and he ain’t even in office yet.
I guess I have to actually write that people should probably be concerned with a foreign power attempting to interfere with our elections as much as they might be with a Democrat operative leaking questions from CNN to Hillary so that she can defeat Bernie in the primary. To think otherwise, you’d have to be as stupid as Sean Spicer. Or pretend to be.
We live in dark times, friends.
