Leaves Reporters Frustrated and Angry
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer returned to the press room podium Tuesday afternoon after several weeks away, and left quickly, abruptly walking away after railing against “fake news,” leaving reporters angry:
Spicer began the briefing by reading for about 10 minutes the White House’s very generous take on President Donald Trump’s first overseas trip.
He then took questions from reporters, though mostly sticking to a script.
But after almost 20 minutes, angry at what he called “fake news” and anonymous sources, Spicer concluded the briefing abruptly and walked away.
“There’s a perpetuation of false narratives, a use of unnamed sources over and over,” he told reporters, saying that President Trump is “frustrated” with “fake news.”
