Spicer: 'No, No, No, No,' Nobody Said That Trump's Border Wall Will Be Delayed

Source: Talking Points Memo


By ESME CRIBB Published APRIL 25, 2017, 3:22 PM EDT

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday fervently denied that funding and the beginning of construction on President Donald Trump’s proposed wall on the United States’ border with Mexico will be delayed.

“Yesterday, President Trump reportedly said that he’s going to delay pushing the wall through. Can you just clarify what the status is?” Associated Press reporter Vivian Salama asked Spicer at his daily briefing.

“I think he tweeted about this earlier,” Spicer replied. “His priorities have not changed. There will be a wall built.” Spicer said that there is “plenty of planning that can be done” in the current fiscal year.

“Our priorities are clear going into FY17, the remainder of budgeting for that, and we’ll continue to ask for more in FY18,” he said, referring to fiscal years 2017 and 2018.

Whhite House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday insisted to reporters that it did not have a responsibility to provide document used in the hiring of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn because they were filled out in the days before President Donald Trump took office.

At Tuesday’s press briefing, Spicer was peppered with questions about why the White House refused to provide documents related to an investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

Spicer told reporters that the documents were filled out “during the Obama administration” and “those are not documents that the White House would ever possess.”

and he's about as smart as one. If 45 isn't responsible for Flynn, then where did he come from? Did he just turn up one day and say, "Hi, I'm Mike Flynn and I've decided to be your National Security Adviser"?

He may as well start doing magic tricks to distract from what's really going on
