Spicer said that Trumps belief is based on studies and evidence, but provided none. At one point, he mentioned a Pew study as potential evidence, though the primary author of the study has already shot down suggestions that research supports Trumps claim.
He believes what he believes based on the information hes provided, Spicer told CNNs Jeff Zeleny, the fourth reporter to raise the issue Tuesday.

"Has anyone told the President that even though he believes what he believes, that doesn't make it actually true in the real world?"
"You've said that the President believes what he believes based on studies and evidence. What studies and what evidence?"
"You're not very good at this, are you Sean? Why do you think you still have a job?"
