‘You Were Just Quoting Sean Hannity’: CNN’s Acosta Gets Heated with Sean Spicer
by Josh Feldman | 4:14 pm, March 16th, 2017


The first question to Sean Spicer at today’s press briefing was by ABC’s Jonathan Karl about the Senate Intelligence Committee’s conclusion they have seen “no indications” that Trump Tower was the subject of any surveillance by the U.S. government last year.

Karl brought up how Spicer said earlier this week that President Trump was “extremely confident” his wiretapping tweets would be vindicated.

Spicer proceeded to defend Trump by citing a number of news reports Trump apparently based this claim off of to make it clear that the president stands by what he said. He argued that there’s a serious media bias when it comes to covering this versus coverage of statements by public officials saying there’s no evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump camp.

As for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Spicer insisted they said they just haven’t seen all the information “at this time.”

He read from the New York Times and other news outlets, also citing Sean Hannity. CNN’s Jim Acosta picked up on that in particular, remarking with some bewilderment, “You were just quoting Sean Hannity there.”
