Poor Spicer, must have buckled when Trump filled his diaper and asked for a safe space.
Transcription of that Politico interview with Sean Spicer from December 16th 2016:
Jake Sherman (Politico Senior Writer): One of the things that the Trump campaign gained notoriety for, was criticized for, was banning reporters...
Sean Spicer (RNC Chief Strategist & Communications Director): Right.
Sherman: ...Banning outlets, (*coughs* Politico was one of them). You said, I think, that you're not... that that's not gonna happen.
Spicer: Well, I think, look there's a big difference between a campaign where it is paid... where it is a private venue using private funds, and a government entity. I think we have a respect for the press when it comes to the government. That that is something that you can't ban an entity from. Conservative, liberal, or otherwise, I think that's what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship. So I think there a vastly different model when it comes to government and what should be accepted and that's on both sides.
