Sean Spicer resigns as White House Press Secretary

No control over? He took the job. He was presumably getting paid a hefty amount for it. He spent time trying to defend the indefensible.

Spicer making one good decision this year doesn't erase the rest.


His salary was made public, it wasn't that much all things considered.

I wonder if Reince is the R's inside man in the Trump presidency. As long as he's there to keep Trump in relative check, the R's are gonna continue to put up with him.
 
Waiting for Trump to post a threatening Tweet telling Spicey not to talk to the press or Mueller or write a book any minute now.

Ooh, a Scott Walker connection. Another trail of slime exposed to the light.

Finaciers and fundraisers as spokesmen is the final stage of crony capitalism, Preibus probably would have preferred to keep that on the down low, especially with Mueller combing through Trump's financials.

Trump cannot do anything about Spicey or anyone else talking about Trump and stuff from White House (well except classified stuff).

But as Trump begins to assemble his new team at the White House and in the Executive Branch, federal employment-law experts say there’s no way for Trump to put a similar gag order in place as president. Yet. And it’s not because he doesn’t want to.

He's the Press Secretary, not the Secretary of State.

Also he was one of Trump's most trusted people inside WH and administration as a whole. Trump even wanted Spicer to stay in WH without any specific job or task to do as his daily work.

That says a lot.

like hes still sean spicer but damn think about this guy right now.

took untold amounts of shit from the press for months, months. constantly was ON message only to have the president throw their messaging out the window and create another nightmare conference for spicer.

so trump sees Scaramucci on TV, his pal, defending him and likes it. now this guy is what, spicers boss? after all the shit spicer has gone through, trump hires some dude he just liked the look of on TV

loooooooooooooooooooool

It is funny. Most people are totally dispensable to Trump. He expects loyalty but doesn't really reward it. It's his own damn fault for not realizing Trump would replace him like nothing.

Chewed up and spit out. He had no business being in that job. Enjoy your career as a talking head on cable news segments.

jesus even Bannon hates Scaramucci?

Scaramucci's expected appointment has caused great upheaval in the West Wing, with chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon — along with Spicer — expressing opposition to him getting the high-profile job.

"This was a murdering of Reince and Bannon. They said Anthony would get this job over their dead bodies," said one top White House official.
