Why was Spicer invited to the Emmys? It's disturbing how easily he's been given a pass by the media.



The laughing at the end is mind-blowing.

He completely disrespected our country and his office.

There was no apology nor any indication of remorse on his part for any of this. Yet it seems our media thinks it's fair to treat it all as water under the bridge now, like they were all in on the joke.

also an irrelevant figure of fun. Relax, and save your anger for more worthy opponents.

I get that Spicer wasn't the worst of them, for whatever that's worth. But maybe it would have been nice to get a simple apology first.

Maggot ACTS like he's concerned about hurricane victims.
Then it's '' he's acting so presidential ".
The media says it.
Every damn time.

They are paid to shill, just like he was. They have no stake in society beyond their own interests.

He has intimate knowledge about trump's obstruction of justice. Same opportunities led to Hope and other communication aides being looked at by Mueller.
He's not a clown. He is co-conspiritor.
