In today's presser Spicer eerily echoes McCarthy skit

From the SNL skit



“Now I’d like to begin today by apologizing on behalf of you to me for how you have treated me these last two weeks, and that apology is not accepted. Because I’m not here to be your buddy. I’m here to swallow gum and I’m here to take names,”



From today's presser

“Anybody who undermines the success of the raid owes an apology and a disservice to the life of Chief Owens,” Spicer exclaimed.

When pressed by Welker if that would include Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who has been critical of the raid, Spicer said that would be his “message to anybody.”



It is bizarre to steal the grief of the Owens family demanding an apology but why does he think people owe "a disservice" to the fallen Seal? I would say that SNL has a lock on their target and knows exactly how he is going to react.
