Sean Spicer Returns to Try to Repair His Credibility. Fails.
Sean Spicer's short tenure as White House Press Secretary began with questionably false statements about the size of the crowd one day earlier at Donald Trump's inauguration. Spicer infamously barked at reporters, “this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe.”
In an exceptionally lengthy investigation at the time USA Today concluded, "Trump and Spicer argued that the media misrepresented the size of the crowd at the inauguration, and we don’t find any evidence of that. To the contrary, it was Trump and Spicer who provided false information to feed a false narrative about crowd size."
The Atlantic reported, "Trump's Press Secretary Falsely Claims: 'Largest Audience Ever to Witness an Inauguration, Period'," and added, "In his first official White House briefing, Sean Spicer blasted journalists for 'deliberately false reporting,' and made categorical claims about crowd-size at odds with the available evidence."
Almost a full year later and six months after ending his stint as press secretary, Spicer has returned, trying to salvage his credibility and reputation.
