Sean Spicer Resigns as White House Press Secretary After Objecting To Scaramucci Hire (cnbc.com)
CNBC reports: White House press secretary Sean Spicer abruptly resigned Friday after opposing President Donald Trump's appointment of Anthony Scaramucci as communications director. The president asked Spicer to stay in his role, but Spicer said appointing Scaramucci was a major mistake, The New York Times, citing a person with direct knowledge of the conversation. NBC News confirmed the resignation with two people familiar with the matter. Spicer tweeted later that he will continue to serve through August. White House chief of staff Reince Priebus was said to have advocated naming Spicer as press secretary. The two worked at the Republican National Committee before joining the administration. Following Spicer's resignation, Priebus said he supports Scaramucci "100 percent," according to news reports.
Uhhh, using CNN as a reference to rule out fake news is.... well, next you'll confirm the existence of UFO's by checking this website.

Brief, but I guess it's an earned moderation. Not sure I agree. As I understand the story (but mostly from other sources), it seems that Spicer suddenly grew a backbone and insisted on resigning. Hard to believe, but even #PresidentTweety realized it would look better if Spicer hung around and just did nothing except for taking the money. Or perhaps Trump was merely afraid of another kiss-and-tell book? Will Spicer's be the first from the inside of the Donald's White House? I'm sure the publishers are lining up with YUGE advances.
Regarding Preibus, there is NO trace of a backbone, so Trump will keep him around for the sake of appearance. A FAKE chief of staff looks better than none at all, though a REAL chief of staff could actually be useful if getting things done were a factor to Trump. Priebus has already pledged his undying loyalty to the Mooch.
Don't forget that #PresidentTweety wants government of the Donald, by the Donald, for the Donald. Trump thinks useless Priebus is GREAT as a bone-toss [boner-toss?] to the GOP, even though the so-called Republicans are dedicated to government of the corporations, by the lawyers, for the richest 0.1% of the population. The YUGE corporations obviously prefer the GOP, but I think the REAL joke is that Trump is NOT even in the 0.1%. The hilarious secret of Trump's tax returns is that his so-called assets are just laundry fees for Putin's dirty rubles.
Remember ol' Honest Abe? That "government of the people, by the people, for the people" stuff? Today there ain't NO major player on that side. Ain't no one worrying about the country or Constitution these days. Especially on the GOP side, the priorities are just party politics, private profits, and personal power.
So you want to invoke the congress-critters oaths to defend and protect the Constitution? You think they're going to impeach Trump for attacking the First Amendment?
ROFLMAO
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
is idiot peasant followers from the village will come after you with social media attacks, pitchforks, handguns, and pit bulls.
Wait, so progressives support Trump now? Or have you missed the fact that 100% of political violence since November was initiated by the progressives, and social media hate mobs are entirely a progressive phenomenon?
