Fox Newss Ed Henry: SNLs brutal portrayal of Sean Spicer is still "gnawing" at Trump days later

Fox News’s Ed Henry: SNL’s brutal portrayal of Sean Spicer is still ‘gnawing’ at Trump days later



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/fox-newss-ed-henry-snls-brutal-portrayal-of-sean-spicer-is-still-gnawing-at-trump-days-later/

Appearing on Fox & Friends on Thursday, Henry says that sources within the White House claim Trump is considering whether to appoint Spicer as his communications director, while finding a new person to serve as press secretary.

“I’m told that SNL skit is still gnawing at the president,” Henry said when explaining Trump’s reluctance to have Spicer continue as press secretary.

Henry goes on to note, however, that Spicer has been getting “high marks” after his “rocky start,” which indicates that the president has made no final decisions yet regarding his role.

Later on Fox & Friends, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway emphasized that Spicer has “the full confidence of the president” and any rumors about him being unhappy with Spicer’s performance so far are false.

...she one-up'd him.

Balwin's good...probably great...but Melissa's Spicer was effing hypnotic. It just kept getting better and better and every syllable was 100% dead-on accurate. Every facial expression. Everything.

SNL found the soft white underbelly. Can't wait to see this episode.

Those type of characters are all ambitious back stabbers.

Muslim ban = failed. Yemen raid = failed. Approval ratings = failed.
Mexican wall = failed. Economic utopia = failed. Grade point average = 0.

...cutting people off to Tweet.

New presidents are always tested, but never before has SNL been considered one of the tests.

15. I truly believe that SNL will be Trump's undoing....it really seems to get under his skin.

I bet if they did an hour long special during prime time where they went through a full "Day In The Life" of Pres Trump, he would finally do or say something that will get him removed from office.

When Rosie O'Donnell does Bannon! It's so obvious how insecure he is, and how this is really pushing all his buttons. I may actually have to start watching SNL again!
