If you’re going to shoot down a report about your party convention plans, you might as well make a cheesy pun out of a hit song by the band you were said to have booked.
Or it least, that Sean Spicer’s thought. The communications director for the Republican National Committee on Thursday denied a Politico report that the RNC would spend $750,000 on a party featuring Journey after July’s GOP convention:
don’t start believing @politico false reporting – Journey is a great band but the RNC has NOT signed them to play – another faux story
— Sean Spicer (@seanspicer) May 26, 2016
The RNC also emailed reporters a statement from chief of staff Katie Walsh calling the story “100% false.”
Journey previously played at a GOP convention event in 2012, reportedly for a fee of $500,000.
