Former Press Secretary Sean Spicer and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus joined Sean Hannity on FOX to discuss what can only be described as a tumultuous day in Washington. The interview comes hot on the heels of the news that incoming White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci will bypass Priebus and report directly to Trump while Sarah Huckabee Sanders will take over for Spicer. Surprisingly, it seems like the guy who used to avoid press by hiding in bushes couldn’t be more pleased. He was all smiles discussing his next move with Hannity.
And just minutes before Spicer and Priebus joined Hannity, the POTUS tweeted a fond farewell to his erstwhile press secretary.
Sean Spicer is a wonderful person who took tremendous abuse from the Fake News Media – but his future is bright!

For those who thought this would be Spicer’s chance to wipe his brow, chew some gum and finally discuss his frustrations with the White House and Dippin’ Dots in general, quite the opposite was true. In fact, he wouldn’t even take Hannity’s bait to throw the mainstream media, or #FakeNews as some know it, under the bus:

It seems like the former White House Easter Bunny is moving on to bigger and better things, and now he won’t be stuck behind a podium, answering the tough questions.
