Spicer Hits 'SNL' For 'Mean' Impression Of Donald Trump...


What a whiny arse...

White House press secretary Sean Spicer was a good sport about a "Saturday Night Live" sketch mocking his daily press briefings, but told "Extra" on Sunday that he thought the show's portrayal of the President has gotten "mean."

"Alec has gone from funny to mean, and that's unfortunate," Spicer told the entertainment show.

But it was comedian Melissa McCarthy's imitation of Spicer that got tons of buzz online Saturday night. Spicer told "Extra" that he apparently didn't hear of the sketch until he was leaving church on Sunday, saying that his phone had so much activity that he thought there must have been a national emergency

It is DT who has gotten mean.
YOu are just too close, to even care at this time?

IF it was a national emergency

YOU would make a mess in your drawers
knowing it was YOUR boss that most likely caused the fiasco

If anything, Baldwin's impersonation flatters your boss!

Go on, tell him some anonymous dude on a public forum said that. It's obviously a matter of national importance.

never thought him funny. Your boss has been whining since the beginning.

But you just admitted you did find Alec Baldwin funny when he was mocking your boss.

The acting and writing were brilliant and exactly what Spicer deserved. If he can't take the heat, tough nuggies. What did he think he would get from critics and those who make their living by reacting to things in the news?

One of the pillars of our country is the ability and right to freely criticise our leaders without fear of punishment. If this causes discomfort to Spicer (AND tRump), they'd better get used to it because now that we finally have a megaphone to express OUR views instead of a steady, unchallenged stream of propaganda from tRump and others representing him, so be it. We have found our voices and we intend to be heard!!!
