Or was it the Melissa McCarthy version in the Ivanka Trump shoes?

Diverting from Burr. Also it gave Trump a break.

explicitly.... right after the reporter asked about Burr and Loeffler... and then Drumpf went on to deny knowing anything about the stock incident... at least that's what I recall.

They’re not even trying to be subtle any more after that OAN reporter asked yesterday whether “Chinese virus” was racist and he said (spoiler alert) no.

and now that you mention it, I do think I remember Spicer coming back. But then why would he be sitting with the rest of the press?

and rather than pointing to him and saying "Sean?", he points to him and says something like "You--".

We both missed the question - my head was down posting here - I look up and it like Sean Spicer doing an Easter Bunny bit.

So that was a prepared question just to introduce Feinstein's name.

Kelly O'Donnell ✔@KellyO

It is simply not appropriate for the former press secretary to sit among journalists to ask questions of the president he served. The door between politics and media sometimes revolves but it is not appropriate to question one's former boss.
