Sean Spicer Retweeted The Onion And The Internet Will Never Let Him Live It Down (SCREENSHOTS)

http://usuncut.news/2017/01/30/sean-spicer-retweeted-the-onion-and-the-internet-will-never-let-him-live-it-down-screenshots/



Ever get the feeling that at any point during one of Trump’s weekly addresses Ashton Kutcher is going to jump out and tell us we’ve been “punked?” White House press secretary continued his tradition of making a complete and total ass out of himself Sunday when he retweeted a video he thought was praising him. Oh, yeah, and it was from The Onion.



“You nailed it,” Spicer wrote in response to a video he clearly did not comprehend accompanied by text he clearly barely read. “Period.”

The Onion video says Spicer’s role in Trump’s administration is “to provide the American public with robust and clearly articulated misinformation” — like that Trump attracted the “largest audience to witness an inauguration, period” — and describes his speaking style as “defensive.”

While it’s possible — but not probable — that Spicer understands that he was being mocked and retweeted the video ironically, the Internet seized upon the opportunity to have a few laughs at Trump’s mouthpiece:

15. Why is it okay to disparage a man based on his height?
Mon Jan 30, 2017, 11:04 AM

Sure, he's an intentionally dishonet prick, but he can't do anything about his height. As a little shrimp of a man, I can tell you that suits tend to look silly on us especially once we have to buy sizes that fit our bellies. Don't get me started on pants.
Also, I just looked it up. He's 5'9" and apparently only 179 lbs. I'd love to be 5'9" & 180 rather than 5'5" & 180. I'd look awesome in a suit. Sean Spicer has no excuse to look so terrible in a suit other than zero sense of style.

I am 5' 4", he was prolly 5'6".....and a dead ringer for Paul Newman.....

a lawyer...

He bought his clothes from the older boy's dept, saved a fortune, dressed quite well.
I thought nothing about it, except to admire the thrifty values.

I've known and dated many short men and none of them were like that nasty man. But the real thing is how his suit is at least 3 sizes too big for his neck and he looks ridiculous.

Guess what kind of insults the opposing team's fans hurled at him. He pretty much shrugged it off, since he was getting paid to play baseball--awesome for him!--but it really used to piss off my (not that it matters, but) 6'4" husband.

Look at that! What a bad job at the glam room, I bet he had to sneak in and use it when nobody was looking...

Makes me wonder too if he is making a plea for help and wearing cheato's face paint is trying to tell us that we need to envision the cheato speaking because this is really just an impersonation of cheato.
