The New York Times editorial board mocked Sean Spicer on the day he resigned from the White House as a spokesman who routinely lied for President Trump.
“Oh Spicey, you lasted six months and a day,” the board wrote late Friday. “Or are those ‘inaccurate numbers?'”
“You were not loved by reporters — or would you disagree, because ‘proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered?'” it added.
The Times implied Spicer lied when he said the “largest audience to ever witness an inauguration” was Trump’s Inauguration Day in January.
“From the beginning, when an apprehensive America wondered what was ahead, you stood behind the lectern at the White House and lied,” the board wrote. “Even though lots of people do it now, you were a trailblazer, and nobody can take that away from you.”
“Oh, Sean Spicer, our four-Pinocchio press secretary, is this the end?” the board asked. “We know we are not supposed to ‘just yell out questions,’ but rather ‘raise our hands like big boys and girls,’ but is it really, truly over?”
