WTF is it with this administration: White House: No apology to British government over spying claims

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)White House press secretary Sean Spicer flatly denied Friday that the White House apologized to the British government after citing an uncorroborated Fox News report to allege that a UK intelligence agency spied on President Donald Trump at the behest of former President Barack Obama.

Earlier in the day, however, a senior administration official told CNN that Spicer and national security adviser H.R. McMaster offered what amounted to an apology to the British government for Spicer's comments on Thursday, when he cited a Fox News report that said British intelligence helped wiretap Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.

"I don't think we regret anything," Spicer told reporters at a gaggle Friday afternoon. Asked by CNN's Jim Acosta if there was an apology by the administration to the

British government over the matter, Spicer replied, "No, we were just passing on news reports."
Earlier Friday, a White House official told CNN that McMaster spoke with his British counterpart on Thursday about Spicer's comment.

6. Business school ethos: Never apologize, never explain

They reveal their inherent weakness by refusing to look weak, ever.

5. Of course they don't apologize for any of their LIES.

7. Narcissists don't apologize because they are never at fault.

Other people are always at fault.
