Spicey Sean says he's suing Biden for firing him from a position Trump gave him at the USN Acadamy

Sean Spicer, a former White House press secretary, said he planned to sue President Joe Biden over a demand that Spicer and others resign from positions at US military academies given to them by President Donald Trump.

"I will not be submitting my resignation, and I will be joining a lawsuit to fight this," Spicer said on Wednesday on Newsmax, the conservative cable network where he is an anchor.




He shared a letter from the White House Office of Presidential Personnel asking him to resign from the board of visitors at the United States Naval Academy, an oversight position.

If he did not quit by Wednesday, it said, he would be fired.

Sean Spicer Throws A Hissy Fit On Newsmax After Jen Psaki's Dig

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer had a mini-tantrum on his Newsmax show Wednesday after current White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested he was appointed to a Naval Academy board for political reasons. (Watch the clip below.)

President Joe Biden ousted Spicer, former Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway and other late-term Trump appointees to military academy boards earlier in the day. All were asked to resign or face dismissal.

“I will let others evaluate whether they think Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer and others were qualified, or not political, to serve on these boards,” Psaki said. “But the president’s qualification requirements are not your party registration. They are whether you’re qualified to serve and whether you are aligned with the values of this administration.”

Spicer, responding in a fit of pique, accused Psaki of violating a “tradition” that press secretaries don’t comment on each other. “Don’t you DARE ever minimize or question my service to this nation! You got it?” Spicer said.

Well, perhaps after the "Never Forget" weekend would be better optics to put him on retainer, no?
