When he did his briefings...
The press knew he was lying.
Everyone who is not a Trump humper knew he was lying.
Even some Trump humpers probably knew he was lying, but kept it to themselves.
He knew that everyone else knew he was lying and looked like a total buffoon.
He probably signed on with the thought that things will normalize and his press secretary position was temporary and he would get a position that he really wanted. He definitely hated his job and hated working for Trump. He put in his no camera's rule just so Trump couldn't see his "performance" and berate him. Trump told him on his last day he looked 20 years younger...that says something.
In Washington, you can't leave and talk endless trash about your old boss if you plan to get another job.
But last night on the Emmy's, his performance was definitely a FUCK YOU TRUMP as we all know how fragile Trump's ego is.
I'll save my outrage for a couple of other liars that manipulated the press, Congress and the goodwill of the populace, which resulted in scores dead and still has lasting implications today. Bush and Cheney.
