During today’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked if the White House can continue to paint the Yemen raid as a success considering the loss of civilian life and the fact that Yemen is no longer granting permission to the US to run special operations missions in the country.

“It’s absolutely a success,” Spicer told MSNBC’s Kristen Welker. “And I think anyone who suggests it’s not a success does disservice to the life of Chief Ryan Owens.” After mentioning the intelligence they retrieved from the mission, Spicer continued to rail against the idea that it was anything but a success, invoking the death of the Navy SEAL multiple times.

“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.”

1. I hereby apologize to the dead SEAL

for not doing enough to stop an idiot from becoming his CIC.

[bettyellen]

2. Using dead soldiers as a shield....

[Else You Are Mad]

3. I guess it could be considered a success...

Since one of Trump's campaign promises was to hunt down and kill the innocent families of terrorists.

[The Wielding Truth]

4. They mess it up. He gets killed and they want high 5's. They make me ill.

[theaocp]

5. Fuck you gently with a chainsaw, you vile

piece of goat droppings. Jesus.

[exboyfil]

6. Jeeze why didn't Hillary Clinton think of that

[LittleGirl]

7. When it's actually their brother

they might understand how fucking sick that comment is.

[chillfactor]

8. Some "success"....

a dead NAVY SEAL and countless innocent civilian casualties....not my definition of success.

[atreides1]

9. It was a cluster Fuck

To many civilians died and I doubt that Chief Ryan Jones, wanted to come back in a bag!

[grantcart]

10. Demanding an apology? Did he even watch SNL? Its like they predicted it.

[Solly Mack]

11. Hiding behind the dead is cowardly and an egregious violation of human decency.

Basing your success in battle on the deaths of your own troops makes for a lost war.

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. You said it better than I could today.....

I feel like we are all walking around every day like this:

[Solly Mack]

41. They are beneath contempt and they don't care.

[machoneman]

12. What's with all this apology crap?

My God, I have never seen such drivel from any adminstration, spox, etc.

Are they always this butt-hurt that every single act of difference, defiance, questioning is met with their insane demands for apologies?

How about ASSHOLE TRUMP apologizing to the family of the serviceman who got killed?

[democratisphere]

13. Sean Spicer needs to update his resume as he will be looking for a new job soon.

[truthisfreedom]

14. SNL is now writing his script.

[Bengus81]

15. It was a NO INTEL fucking DISASTER Sean. YOU should apologize along with fearless leader....

for getting that guy KILLED. And you should be thanking your lucky stars that MORE didn't get killed. Apology from me?? KISS MY ASS!!

[turbinetree]

16. Hey Spicer (nutmeg) FU,

Did you know "nutmeg" that your sexual predator boss spent a half hour at an intelligence briefing this last week, then he came out and was bitching about his daughter getting her worthless clothes removed from Nordstrom's because people like that Navy seals wives and other military personnel and "citizen's of this country are boycotting her, because, why may you ask, she, you, Bannon, dumspster and your entire crowd are using the government to promote her worthless cloths at my, your and everyone expense. and this twit, only spent an half hour in that room, because throughout that meeting his head was exploding about clothes----------------do you understand that or this point----------------------f**king clothes.
Here let me say it again--------------he was in a intelligence meeting and he was worried about his daughters clothes line not selling.

And then to top it all off the last credible and decent "president" said "no" to the raid-------------did you understand why------------or are you and your fascist republicans trying to mimic the other worthless fascist in your party , present and past, like Reagan, because he sure does act like Reagan, that unmitigated fascist lackey



FU and your sexual predator administration and "all" of his deplorable supporters------------got that, between your ears, nutmeg

[Marthe48]

36. THIS

n/t

[Chakaconcarne]

17. They didn't even get their intended target!!!

[Yavin4]

18. It's like he's trying to give material to Melissa McCarthy

It's like they're working together.

[progree]

23. I think he's trying to outdo Melissa ... trying to prove he's more whacko than even her portrayal

This on top of him accusing Nordstrom of directly attacking The President. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141695022

And....

Sean Spicer: ‘I can only hope that if Coretta Scott King was still with us,’ she’d support Jeff Sessions, 2/8/17

... Spicer said that he hoped that King would have come around to supporting Sessions today if she had ever taken the time to get to know him and understand his record on key issues such as voting rights.

... I would respectfully disagree with her assessment of Sen. Sessions then and now, said Spicer. His record on civil voting rights, I think, is outstanding.

[dixiegrrrrl]

40. Spicer..making SNL great since Jan. 1. n/t

[Dave Starsky]

46. He probably saw her portrayal...

and thought, "Wow, is that how people perceive me? I guess I'm not being belligerent enough."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. If a success is when you enter an area you didn't know was heavily-fortified,

including with landmines; face heavy gunfire from surrounding buildings; have to leave behind and deliberately destroy and airplane,lose one of your soldiers; kill a bunch of civilians, including women and children; and manage not to find, kill or capture the enemy's leader, I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

[maxrandb]

20. And they were flabberghasted when

Saddam used human shields.

In fact, I think I have a new name for Alternative Truth Spice..."Human Shields Spice"

[John Lee Pettimore]

21. I wish someone would ask if Comrade trump thinks Chief Ryan Owens is a war hero.

I do think Chief Owens is a real war hero. I just wonder if trump prefers his war hero's to not be KIA. I know he has disdain for anyone who was captured.

[dhill926]

22. wow...

this piece of shit is having quite the day....needs his meds adjusted....or, he's just an asshole working for an asshole. Hmmm....

[keithbvadu2]

24. Trump killed a SEAL with an incompetent mission and they got a video that's many years old.

[atreides1]

27. Not only Trump

Mattis and Dunford, share in that incompetent decision, as well!!!

[DallasNE]

25. Compare And Contrast This With Benghazi

Benghazi was a defensive operation where we didn't have enough support staff to ward off a terrorist attack. Republican budget cuts to Embassy security forced this situation Libya. As a result, 4 Americans died.

Yemen was an offensive operation into a country not granting permission to run special operations missions in its country. As a result 1 American and many women and children were killed. The raid was a partial success but at what cost.

With Benghazi Republicans insisted that the Americans lost their lives in vain and Hillary should have been charged with a crime. In Yemen the primary target was missed and somehow even a mention of this fact is a disservice to the fallen American.

The juxtapositional entry exposes that the hypocrisy is mammoth.

[atreides1]

31. Not even a partial success

1 dead, 2-3 injured, up to 30 civilians killed, to include women and children, 1 multi million dollar aircraft lost!

All in a raid with bad intel, no adequate support, and Central Command releases a 10 year old YouTube video to justify the mission!

A mission, if the story is true, that was planned over a dinner table...and where the Orange shitgibbon was told that Obama wouldn't do it, just so he would sign off on it!!!

[Dave Starsky]

47. Obama wouldn't tie a plastic bag over his head, either.

Maybe someone should tell him that.

[Sanity Claws]

26. Success is measured by the death of one of soldiers without getting the target?

I think Sean needs a dictionary.

[weissmam]

28. talk about insuting the dead

[randr]

29. The mission was undermined from it's inception

The people responsible owe not only an apology to Chief Owens, family, and fellow American citizens, they OWN the blame for putting our troops in danger and should be held accountable.
Years and millions on the Benghazi hearings and this one gets swept right under the rug.
Deplorable is a deplorable does.

[Afromania]

30. ...

The man is dead, the target escaped. In his steed 30 or so civillians were killed, half of which were women and children AND they had to scuttle a vehicle worth tens of millions of dollars. If that wasn't bad enough the mission was probably a nogo from the outset and "allegedly" Trump gave the go ahead without the proper mission workup. There is no condition in which you can say this was a success. Trump and his fucking flunkies threw that man's life away, maybe he knew what he was getting into but to turn around and call this shit a success is a disservice and slap in the face to every single active, retired and departed vet.


Spicer can go straight to hell, and die.

[DK504]

32. No Shitty Spice it's you

that owes an apology to Chief Owens' family. You and you Master purposely green lite a dog of a mission with out any thought or advice from the military - you got that man and 30 others killed.

And anyone that says the mission wasn't a success is exercising their 1st Amendment.

[bora13]

33. Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)?

tao for you world.

[BigDemVoter]

34. Uh no.

The Republicans got this man killed which makes them all murderers.

When will Turtle McFuckLips start insisting on an investigation?

[Marthe48]

37. To which Turtle McFuckLips are you referring?

There are so many sitting in The Capitol Building fouling the air.

[truthisfreedom]

35. Dude loses the ability to form a sentence when he's cranky.

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


Owes a disservice.

[Demsrule86]

39. Dear Stupid Sean Spicer...the most successful missions do not kill

only civilians and a Navy seal...the most successful missions are when all American servicemen come back alive...you and your boss are just the scum of the earth...the poor guy died for nothing as they often do when an idiot is in the white house.

[Cha]

42. Fuck off spicerfacts and quit trying to polish that turd.

[Sunlei]

43. Sorry the Republican was elected.Clinton & an expert Admin.neverwould have sent you on that mission.

[dalton99a]

45. Trump should apologize to 4,497 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq because he questioned that clusterfuck

Same logic

[EarthFirst]

48. What a vile, piece of shit Spicer is!

This is a really disgusting effort to make a run around the White House Briefing Room and eyeball each member of the press and essentially say fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you especially...using a deceased Service-member as imagery for his contempt of the press...
