It calls into question everything he said. Its like when Nixon said "I'm not a crook" - it actually puts the idea in people's head of him being a crook. Now, the Emmys may be preaching to the choir and their audience may already see Spicer as a liar but for any viewer who didn't, that seed is now planted in their head and they will be more inclined to question anything he says. It's not going to get through the Faux news bubble but it might get through to someone who is less woke than the DU crowd.
