DC: WASHINGTON — Sean Spicer is giving up alcohol for Lent.
Donald Trump’s press secretary had ashes in the shape of a smudged cross on his forehead when I walked into his West Wing office on Wednesday. Ash Wednesday, to be exact.
Spicer said he typically has a glass of wine when he gets home from work, with the color depending on what season it is. Though he won’t be drinking for the next 40 days, with a job like his, he might need it.
The 45-year-old was the longest-serving communications director for the Republican National Committee until he joined the Trump campaign in August. His new role has him treading in unfamiliar waters — being the voice for a man who already has one.
Spicer was supposed to run White House communications with transition spokesman Jason Miller, but after Miller dropped out in January, Spicer took on being both press secretary and communications director for the tumultuous administration. (The White House reportedly hired Mike Dubke as communications director in mid-February.)
But carrying the heaving load isn’t Spicer’s only problem.
Keep up the good work, Sean. See to it that the first thing that team members from CNN, NYT, MSNBC, etc., think of when they hear “White House press operation” is “orchiectomy“.
One more reason for the left to intensify its hatred for the Trump administration: CHRISTIANS! Remember how they went after John Ashcroft for…(gasp)…praying before work?
The first comment after the story said it all. “What an utterly pointless article”
An ANONYMOUS source said Trump doesn’t like Spicer’s wardrobe. And Politico reports that junk as news?
