ABC will assist in the rehabilitation of former White House Press Secretary and known liar Sean Spicer by allowing him to compete on Dancing With the Stars.
Spicer served as President Donald Trumps press secretary for the first six months of his presidency, during which he lied about Trumps inauguration crowd size and repeated Trumps false claim that Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. He also infamously claimed Adolf Hitler didnt even sink to using chemical weapons, and upon the release of the Mueller Report, it was revealed that Spicer also lied about who made the decisions to fire Michael Flynn and James Comey.
After leaving the White House, Spicer began trying to ingratiate himself back into popular culture, going on Jimmy Kimmel Live and in September 2017, making a cameo during Stephen Colberts Emmy monologue, which was roundly criticized. After the show, Late Late Show host James Corden elicited a mini backlash of his own when he was photographed jokingly kissing Spicers cheek.
On Twitter, longtime Dancing With the Stars host Tom Bergeron expressed dismay with the decision to include Spicer in the cast. He claimed that in a conversation with the shows new executive producer, he suggested DWTS ought to be a joyful respite from our exhausting political climate and free of inevitably divisive bookings from ANY party affiliations. While Bergeron said he thought he and the producer were in agreement, he quipped, Subsequently (and rather obviously), a decision was made to, as we say in Hollywood, go in a different direction.
