Sean Spicer leaves WH press briefing without answering a single question

[Jacque67 7,328]

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has surprised his press corps by leaving a briefing without answering questions.

Mr Spicer left his press briefing after White House budget director Mick Mulvaney spoke to the press at length about a bipartisan budget agreement reached in Congress the night before that would keep the government funded until September. Once Mr Mulvaney had finished, Mr Spicer simply left the room with him.

His exit prompted some in the press corps to cry his name and raise their hands in frustration. While it isn’t unusual for White House officials to come in and brief the press on specific policy subjects, it isn’t common for the press secretary to not stick around to take questions afterward.

He can't handle the press, what would you expect. The best thing he can do is deliver the message his boss told him to, and go back to his hiding place.

Mulvaney's conference call was a hoot, too!!!

 

The mute button can be a powerful thing. 

A White House conference call with reporters, intended as a victory lap for Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, quickly devolved into a scene out of an episode of the HBO series "Veep" on Tuesday morning. 

The White House had hoped the call would help push back on the idea that this week's trillion-dollar spending bill represented a significant win for Democrats. However, it was scheduled just 21 minutes before it began, apparently giving Mulvaney's staff little time to prepare. 

As Mulvaney attempted to answer questions, open phone lines featuring a crying baby, an intermittent hacking cough, and patriotic hold-music quickly drowned him out. Some reporters eventually unmuted their phones, revolting with laughter and exclamations of disbelief over the line. 

"There has to be a better system, "a reporter on the call complained over the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy. 

Mulvaney himself predicted the fate of the hastily-arranged briefing moments earlier. 

"This is going to be a disaster," the director stated flatly as he opened the floor for questions to over sixty reporters who had dialed into the conference call.

If there was anyone out there who had any doubt Spicer is an idiot, here is the irrefutable proof:

Despite coming prepared with visual aids to help make his case, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer spent a good chunk of his Wednesday afternoon press conference going slowly insane when forced to explain different types of walls.

 

Answering a question from Breitbart’s Charlie Spiering, Spicer at first seemed grateful for the opportunity to share a series of photographs depicting different portions of the existing barrier between the United States and Mexico—all of which, Spicer insisted, were broken or deficient. Why was he doing this? Does he just love walls this much? Whatever.

But when Spiering pushed Spicer on whether the pictures were of a wall, or simply fencing, Spicer appeared to snap. And it says something when someone from Breitbart, of all places, can make a Trump administration staffer this agitated.

“That is called a bollard wall, that is called a levee wall,” Spicer explained, pointing to different structures featured in his slides.

When Spiering pushed again, Spicer grew even more hostile.

 

“That is called a levee wall on the left,” Spicer repeated, visibly annoyed. “Thatis called a bollard wall.” Yes, this all really happened. Who knew walls could be so infuriating?

President Trump’s promise to build a “big beautiful wall” along the United States’ southern border has become a centerpiece of his administration’s draconian efforts to restrict immigration—and, despite the president’s insistence that the wall will be exactly that, Department of Homeland Security chief John Kelly told lawmakers that it will likely be a combination of physical barriers, electronic surveillance techniques, and increased border patrols.

 

Meanwhile, Spicer should just feel proud for knowing all the different types of walls. Good job, Sean!

 

LOL.

.@POTUS just negotiated a spending deal where we can build these

 

 

Are these the beautiful walls, fences, bollards, levees we are building? I think they got the top one from Rent-A-Fence.  God Bless those cost plus federal contracts.

[CaliCat 3,957]

Hey.. That could be a new business model: Rent-A-Border.... 

 

in the end they'll get nothing accomplished, unless the wall levee bollard whatever is accompanied by a moat with crocodiles, barbed wire, and guards with instructions to shoot on site. In fact, the so-called president should ask for the design from his sponsors. The Russia did a good job keeping the Berlin wall levee bollard whatever in place to "protect" everyone in East Berlin...
