In his first on-camera press briefing in eight days, White House press secretary Sean Spicer acknowledged there are vacancies within President Donald Trump’s administration, but seemingly denied that he’d be leaving his post at the podium.
“I’m right here. … Look it’s no secret we’ve had vacancies, including our communications director, he’s been gone for a while. We’ve been seeking input from individuals to see what ideas they have. We’ve been meeting with potential people who may be of service to this administration, I don’t think that should come as a surprise,” he said. “We’re always looking for ways to do a better job of articulating the President’s message and his agenda and we’ll continue to have those discussions internally.”
When pressed again about his off-camera press briefings and reports of a potential shakeup within the White House communications department — which have included speculation that Spicer could be moved out of his role as press secretary and into a more senior role — he went on the defensive.
“Sure, I mean, what I’ll tell you is, I’ve said it, look, multiple times prior to actually taking the job in December and January. I think I explained that, you know, we’re doing what we can to communicate our message. We have tremendous respect for the First Amendment,” he said. “We’re here early in the morning and really late at night available to all of your questions whether it’s email or in person. This is one avenue to do that.”
He went on to praise the communications department, saying they’ve had “multiple more opportunities for people to interact with the President, according to several folks that have been here for several administrations.”
“I understand you’ll always have issues. You’ll always want more, and that’s fair, I mean, it’s your right,” he said. “And I think you’ll continue to fight for it. … But I do believe holistically, we have a staff that’s very accommodating.”
oh, is that what Some People are saying? Some People say a lot of things, and it’s always the convenient things.
Besides;
I like being a punching bag for the press and they pay me so well!
Trump: “Forget it Sean, you cannot quit until you find a replacement. Convince Kimberly Guilfoyle or some other hot chick to join and you are off the hook. And no, Sarah Huckabee, does not meet the “hot” criteria in anyone’s book.”
“Roly-poly! Daddy’s little fatty! I bet he’s gonna be a man someday…”

I don’t think I have ever seen such ineptness from - in of all areas of government - the press department. That they are already having problems JUST 5 MONTHS IN is mind boggling. The problem is they have no credibility. They lie - so much that the press is actually expecting them to lie and openly call them out when they report what the WH says. They have become a joke because this administration never figured out that the things you did/say in the campaign arent the same things you do/say when governing.
I saw part of the press conference and Spicey looked scared and abused. I almost felt sorry for him until I remembered he willingly took this job and seemed to have no problem lying through his teeth. He could also choose to leave this shitty administration for good but won’t for whatever weird reason. Good riddance to this dumb ass
