Sean Spicer doesn’t exactly think Melissa McCarthy’s impression of him is a slam dunk. Speaking with Extra at the Super Bowl on Sunday, the White House press secretary suggested McCarthy’s faux press briefing from the weekend’s Saturday Night Live went too far, saying that the actress “could dial back” on her portrayal of him. As the clip of McCarthy’s angry press secretary went viral, Spicer learned about it when he received a plethora of text messages while leaving church Sunday, Extra reported.
When Donald Trump was inaugurated last month and moved into the Oval Office, one of the first things he did was return a bust of former UK prime minister Winston Churchill, which his predecessor had moved to the White House residence, to its place in the president’s formal office. The new president has shattered so many norms and traditions that it is difficult to keep track of them, but one of the most egregious -- more damaging than a refusal to divest his assets or his insistence on bringing family members into the White House -- is his constant effort to sow fear among the American people. Trump stoked worry about immigrants and terrorism throughout his campaign but over the weekend his campaign to convince the American people that they really ought to feel terrorized reached new depths, and demonstrated just how distant his style of leadership is from the kind the country has historically respected.
