Sean Spicer isn’t taking any crap from reporters, nor from career bureaucrats in the State Department who are whining about Trump’s new immigration executive order.
During his press briefing today, Spicer addressed these whiners and told them to get with the program or go:

I wasn’t a big fan of Spicer at the RNC, especially during the campaign last year. But I think so far as press secretary he’s done a great job of putting the facts out there despite all the misreporting and subsequent outrage and he’s also done a good job of hitting back against false media narratives that seek to undermine the Trump administration.
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of time to criticize him in the future but, generally speaking, so far so good.
