Anyway, to reboot, does anyone have a worse job than Sean Spicer? Just from today he had to push a terror attack in Atlanta that didn't happen and now this:
Spicer Demands Apology from Critics of Yemen Raid
"Washington (CNN)
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that critics of the recent raid in Yemen,
including Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, should apologize.
Spicer was asked at a White House briefing about criticism of the raid, including comments by McCain, who said he could not describe the operation as a "success" earlier in the day. The operation left a US service member dead.
"It's absolutely a success, and I think anyone who would suggest it's not a success does disservice to the life of Chief Ryan Owens," said Spicer, citing intelligence obtained in the operation.
Spicer's comments are a shift in his analysis of last month's operation. Last week, he hesitated to call the raid "a success 100% when someone is hurt or killed, and that was the case here."
Before Spicer's briefing, McCain criticized the raid, citing the loss of life.
"While many of the objectives of the recent raid in Yemen were met, I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success," he said in a statement.
Asked about McCain's comments at the briefing, Spicer said he had a "message" for anybody who said the mission was not a success, though he did not mention McCain by name.
"I think anybody who undermines the success of that raid owes an apology ... to the life of Chief Owens," Spicer said.
Again calling the raid a "huge success," the press secretary said the information gleaned from the raid would save US lives and prevent attacks. "We owe (Owens) and his family a great debt for the information that we received during that raid. I think any suggestion otherwise is a disservice to his courageous life and the actions that he took. Full stop," Spicer said....
