Spicer: I Never 'Knowingly' Lied During Time at White House

[DonViejo]

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday that he never “knowingly” lied to the American people while serving in President Trump’s administration. “I made mistakes,” Spicer said. “There’s no question. I think we all do.” Though he said he will never offer a “blanket apology,” Spicer acknowledged that he has “tried to own” some of his mistakes. Still, he said, “the personal attacks, questioning my integrity ... you know, what my intentions were, I think, were really over the top.”

[Permanut]

33. Good one!

[dalton99a]

7. Damn liar

[hatrack]

8. In other words, "I never lied", since lying requires knowing that what one says is untrue . . .

In other words, Bullshit, Spice Boy.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Then He's Incomptent

He had to have a staff that could have spent 15 seconds on the internet to compare the inauguration crowd size to 2008 and 2012 and then have simply not commented at all. But he confirmed that it was accurate.

So, he either lied or he's totally inept.

Your choice, Spicey.

[spanone]

10. sean, get your ass in the confessional right now you lying piece of shit.

[malaise]

26. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Fucking hell yes!

[spanone]

41. BWahahahahahahahaaaa

[dembotoz]

11. If u think of someone who placed TOTAL faith in trump

U might believe anything the guy spews out of his treacherous mouth
Seen it in fundie churchs...if pastor said it it is the truth.
Facts have no relevance
The suspension of reality is how cults happens.

Perhaps to do his job Spicer had to do this

[WhiteTara]

12. He was a pathetic liar then and is a pathetic

liar now. I read that he can't get a job because of credibility issues.

[Madam45for2923]

13. Well, when you say it like that...

[NurseJackie]

14. Here's a "LAUGH TRACK" youtube video to play along with his interview...

... just open another browser window (or tab) and play them both at the same time.

[Adrahil]

15. Still lying.

If he didn't know he was shovelling bullshit, then he's an idiot.

So, liar or idiot. Take your pick, Spicey.

[dlk]

16. "Unknowingly" Lying Sounds A Lot like Alternative Facts

[BeyondGeography]

17. Yeah, well

Good luck with the rehab tour.

[Orrex]

18. It's ironic that he knowingly lied when he said that.

If it's true that Spicey didn't "knowingly" lie while @ the White House, then he's so stupid that he should never be allowed outdoors without a team of facilitators.

[uponit7771]

20. +1, hip... people like him shouldn't be able to drive on open roads !!

[MiniMe]

44. "Biggest inauguration crowd EVER"

Said in the suit that didn't fit. That was the first of many lies.

[uponit7771]

19. Idiot or the Enemy ... either one is bad

[Jarqui]

21. "Never 'Knowingly' Lied" ?

if that itself isn't a lie, then he's really stupid

[Javaman]

22. he's got to come up with better material, this shit just ain't that funny. nt

[WinkyDink]

23. "But I am right now!"

[gratuitous]

24. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period!

If you need a refresher on Spicer's truculence and bombast from Day One, here's a five minute blast (the money quote in my subject line comes at about the 2:25 mark):

Eat shit, Mr. Spicer.

[malaise]

25. He's still lying

He fucking knew Obama's inauguration crowd was a gazillion times larger than the Cons.

Fuck that.

[Solly Mack]

27. Yeah, right.

Go away, Spicer.

[Cyrano]

28. Spicer: "Never have I masturbated in my entire life."

There's a great "Seinfeld" episode that tends to prove that everyone "does it."

[Faux pas]

29. Yeah sure ya betcha seany...

inaugural crowd size comes to mind.

[arthritisR_US]

30. And the white washing of his lies begins.

[Eliot Rosewater]

31. Now that you have lied again it is clear what you are, why you would get on a single

other show after this, I simply dont know.

[Sunlei]

32. the PRESIDENTS SPOKESPERSON- helped the Pres. lie to and ATTACK Americas free press!

what a disgusting POS person and the same goes for you, Mrs Huckabee.

The press asks questions for the American people!

Our government is supposed to answer the fucking questions to report to the people! And place the written texts of every presser on the WH website for us to read if we want.

[hamsterjill]

34. Oh, bullshit.

If Spicey believes this himself, he's as demented as his ex-boss.

I don't understand the need to redeem himself. Didn't he understand when he took the job for Trump that it was the end of the line for ANY credibility? Write the book, Spicey, and hope that you make enough money off of that to tide you over for the rest of your life.

AND while I'm on the subject, I did NOT think his appearance on the Emmy's was appropriate nor funny.

[matt819]

35. Quibble, quibble

I never knowingly lied.

I might have thought I was lying, but I chose not to confirm that I was lying.

And I really thought that inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama's.

And I wasn't hiding in the shrubbery.

Is it any wonder no one's giving him a job?

Does he have kids? What a marvelous role model.

Sure, it's enough to

But mostly,

And and a final .

[HAB911]

36. YOU LIE!

bs artist

[FSogol]

37. He's still lying.

[Corvo Bianco]

38. If you don't know a lie as you're shouting it,

You can go straight to hell for all I care. You're a DETRIMENT to mankind. New lies about Intention are worth nothing. Go away.

[alarimer]

39. Is it possible to lie "unknowingly"?

I would think it wasn't.

[imanamerican63]

40. Say it aint so, Sean!

What a disgrace!

[Vinca]

42. He's lying about not lying.

Unless he's secretly blind, he saw the inaugural crowd.

[Thrill]

43. WTF? Is something wrong with his eyes. He knew damn well Trump didn't have more people

at his inauguration than PBO
