[DonViejo]

BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 09/23/18 07:01 AM EDT

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said "elite media" with whom he interacted while President Trump's press secretary with have "a personal animus" towards the president and those affiliated with him.

Spicer told host John Catsimatidis in an interview airing Sunday on AM 970 in New York that the press' distaste for conservatives is easy to see.

"They don’t like conservatives in general," he said.

"I really don’t think they like this president. And it shows every single day.”

Spicer explained while "there are a lot of really good reporters out there," the White House press corps in particular are the problem.

Spicer also dished the "personal animus" claim to Saturday Night Live, saying that their skits are no longer funny, but more focused on attacking people.

1. well sean, maybe that's because your ex-boss calls them the enemy of the people

p.s. FUCK OFF

[lunatica]

33. And basically stuck them in the equivalency of cages during his rallies

and has called them unfair liars and enemies of the people who write fake news about him.

If he could he would put them in real cages. If he can blithely throw children into cages, imagine his glee if he could cage reporters.

2. The press doesn't like criminals

Perhaps if conservatives were not criminal and constantly pushing propaganda and lies to cover their tracks, their press coverage would be more favorable.

[CatMor]

3. Maybe because trump is a crazy incompetent fool

[Frustratedlady]

4. No more so than the majority of the country.

Open your eyes, Sean. The media is finally getting around to listening to the masses.

As for the WH Press Corps, I can't blame them. They gather to listen to Sarah and she doesn't say anything of substance, so they have wasted their time waiting for her to show and then lying to them. Does she ever answer any questions? I sure haven't heard her do so.

She needs to go.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Grab a clue, spicey

Conservative ideology itself renders its adherents unlikeable. Hell, they don't even like each other or themselves.

[OnDoutside]

6. $15K a month buys this.

[Tucker08087]

15. And it needs to stop.

An actual law had to be passed for teachers to make $18,500 a YEAR in NJ, and apparently we’re one of the highest paid in the nation. I was teaching then, and I’m not that old! It wasn’t the dark ages. I still have my kid in the same school district. He’s getting in one month what was once my yearly salary (and by comparison, he makes in 3 months what I made in a year when I retired due to disability after 26 years of teaching) to be a lying bullhorn. It’s a disgrace. It’s not politics. It’s money laundering.

[jrthin]

19. Exactly. nt

[ecstatic]

7. What confuses me are the people who like him, an obvious thug

and criminal. 70+ years old with ZERO understanding of what's right, wrong, or appropriate.

[samnsara]

8. sean..NO BODY likes this fake president!

..NO ONE liked him on his fake TV show...hes NOT likable.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Trump is a wanna-be DICKtator, Spicey.......

What a Dickhead Sean Spicer is. How obvious can it be that Trump has no fucking clue what he is doing?

[Cracklin Charlie]

10. Nobody likes traitors?

Maybe don’t do treason, crybaby.

[SallyHemmings]

11. Sean who?

You opted to sign on to this trainwreck of an administration. No one gives one fat fuck what you have to say. Go away Spicey.

[malaise]

12. And rightly so

Fascists who steal elections aren't popular with those who support DEMOCRACY.
Fuck the vile cretin and his goons.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Richard Nixon thought so, too. "They won't have Nixon to kick around, anymore."

Criminals and narcissistic authoritarians always think the purveyors of truth are after them. Facts & truth are their enemies.

[TreasonousBastard]

14. "The press" has been following Trump for around 40 years and knows him better that...

the general public, anyone here, and especially his dimmer supporters.

They hate him for what they know him to be.

[Tucker08087]

16. They should have piped up!

They did know, but they never seemed to want to say it. I’m sorry, but most of his background was common knowledge in NY, NJ, PA, but it never seemed to come up. They used him for ratings. Reality TV. And now we’re all stuck in The Truman Show rated XXX.

[dalton99a]

17. The press helped put the abomination in the White House, asshole

[lunatica]

34. The incredible shrinking White House town cryer

Poor Sean. Trying so hard to get people to stop laughing at him.

[Leghorn21]

40. LORDY, I ain't done never seen this one!!

Thankee, dalton!!

[smirkymonkey]

18. Gee Sean, I wonder why that is?

Could it have anything to do with the fact that he is constantly calling them the "fake news" and stirring up hatred among his base against them. Or maybe the fact that he lies with regularity and has done his best to divide this country, alienate our allies, demonize minorities, disrespect women and vilify liberals?

You don't work in the White House any more, you can stop fellating him now.

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Conservatives? You are calling yourselves this? Conservatives wouldn't have racked up the ...

massive debt w/ the passage of the 2018 tax cut and jobs bill. You lost the right to be called 'conservative' when you passed this bill, ignorant of the needs of all Americans but those of your donors.

[MiniMe]

21. Perhaps if the administration stopped lying about everything

The press wouldn't be "against" the tRump administration

[badhair77]

22. Sean, you're complaining because we don't like a liar.

He needs a reality check. Maybe he wants to lie down with dogs with fleas but I don’t.

[EricMaundry]

23. Maybe Sean wants everyone to see the positive side of treason

You know, it would be a civility moment.

[lunatica]

35. LOL!

Excellent!

[Hortensis]

24. Trump wants the power to arrest them and close down

any medium he cares to. Don't know how many take that personally, but they are certainly taking offense.

[kairos12]

25. Fuck him and his position. Free media exposure helped get Drumpt elected.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Being called an enemy of the people over and over might provoke a little animosity, yeah?

[Bleacher Creature]

27. I have a personal animus against bigots who put kids in cages. NT

[Wounded Bear]

28. Sean, are you telling the truth this time?

[Iliyah]

29. Can you guys stop playing victim and realize

that you, the WH, shithole and the Republican party are fucked up.

[janterry]

30. This man could have reinvented himself as a patriot

He came out of a corrupt White House - all he had to do was to speak (for once) with honor and integrity.

Instead, his most salient political moments will remember him as a liar.

[brewens]

31. He's getting what he deserves. Look at his history of faking being his own press agent. Why

would they trust or respect the guy? They might not hate him or act on it in anyway, but they sure can't like him much.

[HipChick]

32. Sean who-still-does-not-have-job spicer?

[area51]

36. Can't wait 'til it's Mueller Time.

[demtenjeep]

37. SNL has been fucking funny

especially the MM playing spicy bits

[PatSeg]

38. Oh, that is pathetic

[winstars]

39. No. I just hate assholes...
