Devout Catholic Spicey cut from Vatican entourage OUCH!!

CNN reported that when reporters asked one administration source about Spicer’s absence from the delegation visiting the Pope, they were completely taken aback at the slight. Spicer remarked before the trip that he was excited to meet Pope Francis.

“Wow,” the person said. “That’s all he wanted.”


Politico.com reported that the entourage was limited to the president and First Lady Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter Ivanka, former campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks and White House social media coordinator Dan Scavino.

“Also in attendance were State Department aide Brian Hook, security head Keith Schiller, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster,” wrote Politico’s Annie Karni.

Chump wants your loyalty, sure - but what will he give in return?

Do the right thing.

"The essential element is that the destroyer has been pushed beyond all reason. This may or may not make them The Woobie, but either way they are portrayed as having a crappy existence. This is a character who, by definition, is constantly beaten up, kicked around, and lives an all-around miserable life. Should they lose everything and everyone they trust (be it through betrayal or in other cruel ways), and then just so happen upon the instrument of revenge against the cruel, heartless world that brought them so much pain, one need not be a genius to figure out whom the character will cast their hateful gaze upon. Think of this person as a Jerkass Woobie, only with the jerkassery replaced by insanity (though many characters do fulfill both tropes)."

"I didn't want to meet any dumb ol' Pope anyway!" squealed Spicer, before turning on his heel and flouncing down the hall to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him so hard one of the pictures on the wall fell off. Inquisitive reporters listening at the door could hear loud snuffles and a Taylor Swift song.

Taylor Swift. You got me with that one.

I actually feel sorry for him about this. It's like Trump took him only to do this.
