Update: Quincy Jones Not Attending Trumps New Years Eve Party, Spokesman Says

[spanone]

A spokesman for Quincy Jones says that he will be spending New Year’s Eve with his family in Los Angeles and will not be attending a party hosted by President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Earlier on Friday, in a transition team call with reporters, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said that Jones and actor Sylvester Stallone were among those on the guest list for the party, with about 800 guests attending.

Jones’s spokesman, Arnold Robinson, said that he wouldn’t be attending, and didn’t know where Trump’s team got the information.

Spicer also told reporters that Trump’s wife Melania and son Barron would attend, with events including a cocktail hour, followed by dinner and dancing in the grand ballroom, according to The Hill.

1. Of course he's not attending

[Cha]

3. Good that he somehow got on that stupid list and gets to say

No, I will not be attending that freak show.

[smirkymonkey]

6. And it will be a freak show.

Isn't that greedy, slimy bastard CHARGING money to attend his "party". What kind of billionaire gives parties that people have to pay to get in to. It's not like the creme-de-la-creme is exactly beating down his door to share their New Year's Eve with him and his disgusting family.

9. That's right.. we read earlier he's charging for his

New Year's party. That band and dinner and pupus aren't going to pay for themselves

7. why the hell would sean spicer name someone who is not confirmed? they lie day in, day out

[coco22]

8. But his voters said..

"I can't vote for a liar"

[Cha]

10. 'Cause he's not very bright.

[underpants]

11. I think it's just name dropping

As someone posted below - I think they do this for laughs amongst themselves.

It gets reported on Fox News and his followers think "see! He's really liked by everyone" and it's never corrected.

4. They laugh when they put this crap out to the press I bet

5. It seems strange that they wouild have to say his wife is attending

Is there trouble in the Trump House
