"Its such a great country that allows you to be here." -Sean Sphincter, ne Spicer




And this week, a possible answer came from Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, when an Indian-American woman confronted him at an Apple store. “It’s such a great country that allows you to be here,” Spicer told her. His interlocutor was an American citizen, but that didn’t seem to register. (Not white, not quite.)

The woman asking Sphincter questions in the Apple Store was an Indian American. When you are aware of that Sphincter's remarks are even more sinister and disturbing.

He should be thankful that this country allows bridge trolls to immigrate from Narnia and then hold high level government jobs they aren't qualified for.
