Sean Spicer had a book signing in New York City Wednesday evening. It didn’t go well.
As video posted by ThinkProgress journalist Aaron Rupar shows, the disgraced former White House press secretary for President Donald Trump was mercilessly heckled and it was all caught on tape.
“Hey Sean, you’re a real piece of garbage and I hope you look around and see all these empty seats,” the man shouted inside the historic Union Square Barnes & Noble. “And I hope you realize in even in New York City, people will not come and pay money to hear you speak.”
“It’s a garbage book and you’re a garbage person,” he continued shouting, as security removed him. “You lied as press secretary. Now you’re lying in your book.”
Spicer’s book, “The Briefing,” has been hit was negative reviews and called out for basic factual errors.
The heckler is not the only person giving Spicer a hard time.
On Tuesday a BBC News anchor in a lengthy interview pummeled Spicer, accurately charging that he “corrupted discourse for the entire world by going along with” Donald Trump’s “lies.”
“You played with the truth, you led us down a dangerous path,” the BBC’s Emily Maitlis also told Spicer, who apparently was not prepared for the confrontation.
