By all accounts Sean Spicer is a devout Catholic, and, though he does have a small problem with the Biblical stricture against bearing false witness, well who has not fallen short of the glory of God?
When his asshole of a boss decided to leave Sean off the RSVP list for his Papal Photo- Op, an opportunity to meet his spiritual leader that Spicer is not likely to have again, it seemed petty beyond belief.
““That planners of this trip couldn’t or wouldn’t get @seanspicer into the Vatican speaks to a small-mindedness I find incredibly depressing,”
“This seems needlessly harsh — when else is Spicer likely to meet the Pope, and it mattered to him?” tweeted New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman.
“Trump is a cruel boss,” said New Republic senior editor Jeet Heer, who also wrote the president “didn’t let Sean Spicer meet the Pope out of sheer meanness.”
Politico Magazine editor in chief Blake Hounshell said leaving out Spicer “seems like a slight.”
Huff Post published the headline, “Sean Spicer Gets A Ride On The Nope Mobile.”
CNN’s Erin Burnett said meeting with the pope “by all accounts would have been the highlight of his life.”
Mark Preston, a senior political analyst for CNN who attends church in the same parish as Sean Spicer, told Burnett the press secretary’s absence “I’m sure is really hurting him,” and suggested his exclusion reflected the president’s “pettiness.”
Small minded, harsh, petty and mean. I’d say that about sums up drumpf.
Late breaking, it seems that Spicey might have gotten his wish after all, after the main event:
There he is, next to KellyAnne and her double evil twin. And Pence’s wife snuck in at the last moment too, on the far right.
