I love White House Press Secretary Sean “Spicy Facts” Spicer. I have ever since he took office, and mostly because he’s a goddamn embarrassment. He’s the mouthpiece for an administration whose members don’t seem to know their ass from their hat, so watching him walk out in front of a pressroom firing squad of reporters that are fully loaded with questions for his dumb ass has become a kind of modern-day bullfight for me. I literally wait for it.
So when the president drunk-tweeted “covfefe,” I couldn’t wait to see what Spicy Facts was going to do with questions surrounding this nonsensical, made-up bullshit; and, in short, Spicy Facts didn’t disappoint. In fact, the rather stoic group of reporters couldn’t hold back their laughter at Spicy’s hilarious answer.
When a reporter asked Spicy if “people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night,” Spicy replied, “No,” Raw Story reports.
The reporter then asked Spicer why the misspelled tweet stayed up so long.
“The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant,” Spicy said, and the room broke out in laughter because this is what this administration has become—a damn joke.
It wouldn’t have been difficult for Spicy to say: “That night, the president was hopped up on Coca-Cola and burned steak and it was well past his bedtime. Papa Bannon hadn’t been in to say goodnight, and Trumpy gets cranky when he doesn’t see his papa. He wasn’t supposed to be on his phone past 10 p.m., and he was caught tweeting when Papa smacked it out of his hand and sent him to the top bunk, which he hates.”
Would it have sounded crazy? Hell, yeah, but it would’ve been closer to the truth than acting as if tweeting the word “covfefe” was intentional. But doesn’t this just exemplify exactly what this administration has been doing since taking office—taking facts and spinning them even when there’s nothing to spin? “Covfefe” isn’t a word; it was a mistake, and this administration refuses to admit when it’s made a mistake, so let’s all act as if the emperor isn’t butt-ass naked while we’re at it.
