WH is interviewing for Press Secretary...Unclear what this mean for Sean Spicer..

[HipChick]

Carl Higbie has interviewed for the position of White House press secretary, according to two senior administration officials familiar with the matter.“Well, I can say that I’ve offered my services,” Higbie confirms for Washingtonian when reached by phone. “I haven’t heard back from the administration yet. I’m honored to be even considered for this.” Higbie says he has spoken with “a number of people” in interview rounds for the post.

Higbie interviewed for the position on Thursday, according to the sources. Higbie declined to confirm this.
Higbie, a former Navy SEAL, is close with the Trump family, particularly Eric Trump, whom he met in the green room after appearing on the Kelly File last year. He was one of the first official surrogates for the president on the campaign trail. He was also spokesman for the Great America PAC, which purported to earmark donations “from the grassroots” for the Trump campaign.

Higbie sparked the wires this week after stating on CNN that Senator John McCain — with his own history of “crashing planes” in Vietnam — should apologize for suggesting that the Yemen raid was “unsuccessful.” He found himself in a heated Twitter exchange with Meghan McCain, the senator’s daughter, over his comments.

It’s unclear what this means for the future of Sean Spicer’s post as press secretary, or whether he will take on the role of communications director. The post has been vacant since Jason Miller, dogged by allegations of an affair with a fellow aide, stepped down before Trump’s inauguration.

The White House did not return a request for comment immediately.

1. He's doing double duty...

He is both press secretary and I can't think of the other title, but they've been talking about how he's doing both jobs on CNN.

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. Director of Communications is the other job

but I had been hearing they were looking for THAT position.

So, right now, they are either looking for both positions and Spicer is on the way out, which has been rumored by those who claim to know these things
or
Spicer is gonna be allowed to be the Comm. Director.

Given how Trump works, he will probably shit can both positions so everyone will be more confused and 2 new hires will be trying to learn the ropes from the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.

24. I heard Spicer is gonna be the new spokesmodel for Ivankas clothing line...

Ok, I didn't hear that. I just made it up because I thought it would be funny.

I heard he was gonna be communications director, and they were gonna hire Mellissa Mcarthy as the pushy dude who does press conferences. Ok, I made that up to.

2. Since the Cheeto Admin is like a reality show

I wonder if they are taking suggestions for the new Press Secretary.

I nominate Gary Busey. He would be soooo much more entertaining than Shouty Spice.

3. Dylan Byers (CNN) says it's not true

Dylan Byers‏ @DylanByers

WHITE HOUSE spox tells me this is "completely false," and that even Higbie confirmed it's not true.

But, with this WH who knows?

6. They purposely float opposite stories to the media...

[fleur-de-lisa]

10. Exactly!

Every time they vehemently deny something, that's a big, fat clue that's it's the truth!

Nothing but a bunch of pathological liars!

[fleur-de-lisa]

14. Bigly! I'd vote for you!

[Ilsa]

17. Hey, I wrote up what 45 and Spicer should have said

about the Nordstrom news this week to put it to bed and make Ivanka look great in the eye of public opinion, but did they consult with me?

[fleur-de-lisa]

18. I'm sure your check is in the mail . . .

Oh, wait . . .

5. So a former navy seal for press secretary ?

What is he going to do if he does not like the question ? Put the journalust in a headlock ?
From what the op article says he sounds like a real diplomat.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Just go out and get the real one...

[hrmjustin]

9. They are denying this but someone put this story out there.

[HipChick]

13. Exactly +1000

And the Washingtonian does not print fluffy gossip...

[madinmaryland]

11. A complete clusterfuck. Un-fucking-believable.

[redwitch]

12. The thought of Sean Spicer as Communications Director!

[Locut0s]

15. Anyone else feel Sean Spicer has been acting more and more unhinged....

Not that he isn't already. But he seems to be more and more reactionary. More and more angry. Stress getting to him I'd say.

[Docreed2003]

16. I listened to this asshole on Thom Hartman right before Christmas

The discussion was about healthcare in America and he literally said not only was healthcare not a right but that he shouldn't have to pay for his neighbors healthcare. When pressed by Thom about what to do about people who couldn't afford care, he basically implied that it was not his problem. What's incredibly scummy about that statement is the guy had recently set up a GoFundMe page for a friend you had a terminal illness and mountains of medical bills.
