We posted the accusations from a guy who went to prep school with Sean Spicer that they had almost gotten into a fight and that Spicer had allegedly called him a racial epithet.
Well it looks like Spicey didn’t like how the Associated Press handled the story because he’s threatening to sue:
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is threatening to take legal action against The Associated Press over a report from the wire service about an incident on his book tour.
Spicer’s attorney Michael Bowe said in a statement Saturday night that the AP “recklessly republished a categorically false accusation about Sean Spicer.”
“The claim is a lie. Absent an immediate retraction, Mr. Spicer will take legal action Monday,” Bowe said.
The AP report, published Saturday, documented an incident at Spicer’s book signing in Middletown, R.I., on Friday during which a black man claiming to be a former classmate of Spicer’s at Portsmouth Abbey School accused Spicer of using a racial slur.
I’m not sure Spicey has much of a legal case here. They didn’t write it as true, they wrote it as accusations made by some guy. If anything he should sue the guy making the accusations.
You can see the crazy video of the guy making his accusations in the previous post here.
