She was out of line and Spicer set that fat ***** straight. Watch and learn moron.
Seriously? You don't get that it is condescending? You don't think it sounds like he is treating her disrespectfully? Like an elementary school student? Like you have stepped into "my room, you will do what I say and act is I tell you to"?

Exactly. Individuals with no class like you see from some on this board and this thread can't comprehend. Spicer might be an even bigger embarrassment than his boss. That is hard to achieve.
I'm not saying that it was the right thing to say. I'm saying that I don't get the outrage over it. There's a difference. A press secretary who goes rounds with the press is not a phenomenon nor one that is isolated to one party.
Simply put, Spicer's job is to tell the headlines, not be the headlines. Biff is using him as nothing more than a tool to continually disparage the press. Period.
That kind of exchange has happened lots of times with several Presidents press sectaries. No big deal.
Show me the 'outrage' you claim. Where's the 'extremely strong reaction of anger, shock, or indignation', where's the 'fierce anger, shock, or indignation'? Could it be you're just another exaggerating snowflake defending your lies? This seems to be all Donnie and his clan of Little Monsters knows how to do. Lie and defend the lie. It's getting old. Grow a pair and stop whining about non-existent attacks. You people look like fools when you make these claims.
I'm not toeing your imaginary line, so I must be defending all things Trump? I don't get the big deal about this particular interaction with a member of the press.
You don't get that many Americans despise these people? Where have you been? How about doing a Google search on "Trump attacks" or "Trump lies" or "Trump racist" or "Trump treason" or "Trump enemies" or "Trump mob" or any other disgusting human act with Trumps name attached to it. You'll get why the majority despises these people. It's not rocket science. These people are going to get their own hatred spewed back at them until they're gone. Period.
If the press club had been 90% conservative when Obama's press secretary was going at it, he would have had the same interaction. 90% are against Trump, 90 % were for Obama. That lady shaking her head was probably the only exercise she ha had in the last 8 years.
Pretty much sums up why most on the right don't get concerned every time one of you snowflakes get sand in your ****.
I liked the Russian salad dressing comment. See! It's true! He likes Russian salad dressing!
That is correct. Big Macs have a certain Thousand Island sauce where a classic Reuben has Russian dressing. Biggest difference is Russian dressing should be made with a milkbase ingredient such as yogurt versus mayo in 1000 island. Also Russian dressing often has horseradish or other spice.
Funny. What else is Russian dressing is not from Russia. It is from New England.
I'm not defender of Trump's tone. I don't like it, and I've said that a thousand times. I also realize that he is our president now, and the next opportunity to change that comes in 2020. A lot of people didn't like Obama for his 8 years. I didn't like them spouting off about every tiny thing they thought was wrong when he opened his mouth, so I'm not going to make a federal case out of every thing that happens in this administration. We're talking about a minor comment from a press secretary. I don't care. If a WH reporter gets offended by that comment, she's in the wrong line of work. I seriously doubt she was truly offended, but everyone who doesn't like Trump has to defend her feelings. Save the anger for real problems. You're just giving people a reason to ignore you by erupting about everything.
Sums up my thoughts exactly. It's basically the boy who cried wolf. When they find something real, they've already gone hyperbolic over every non-instance that I've gotten to the point of paying them no attention.
Yeah, right.... and next you're going to tell me that French Fries aren't from dem damn French.
lol... wapo... trash heap...
Women, Hillary Clinton among them, stand up for April Ryan, Maxine Waters — they 'were simply doing their jobs'
Only a few hours apart on Tuesday, two black women were confronted by white, male public figures in exchanges that many viewed as demeaning and disparaging.
First, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Tuesdayseemed to criticize Rep. Maxine Waters(D-Calif.) because of her appearance — comparing her hair to a “James Brown wig,” for which he later apologized.
And in a press briefing later, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told veteran reporter April Ryan to“Please, stop shaking your head again.”
Their words provoked angry reactions on Twitter and made headlines on cable news shows. But to many women, the comments were not all that surprising.
One of these women was Hillary Clinton. In a speech Tuesday afternoon, Clinton spoke of everyday sexism and structural barriers that are sometimes hard to spot but unmistakably present.
“Just look at all that’s happened in the last two days to women who were simply doing their jobs,” she said in her remarks at theProfessional BusinessWomen of Californiaconference in downtown San Francisco. She spoke of Ryan being “patronized” and cut off while asking a question. And she mentioned Waters, who “was taunted with a racist joke about her hair.”
“Too many women, especially women of color, have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride,” Clinton said. “But why should we have to. And any woman who thinks this couldn’t be directed at her is living in a dream world.”
Ryan arrived home later that day to hear the news from her daughters: “Did you see Hillary Clinton?” they asked.
“And I was like ‘no,’ and I saw it and I couldn’t believe it,” Ryan said, speaking on CNN. “I was shocked.” She later tweeted: “Preach @HillaryClinton!!!”
Black women across social media sounded off in support of Ryan and Waters, sharing their own experiences in the workplace. Brittany Packnett urged women to use the hashtag #BlackWomenAtWork
“This happens to black women everyday at work,” Packnett tweeted. “Share your Maxine and April moments, so people don’t think this is rare.”
“Today, we were told a Black woman’s hair matters more than her voice, and our choices are under the control of others,” she added on Twitter.
One of the most popular tweets came fromWaters herself, who shared the same words she spoke on MSNBC: “I am a strong black woman. I cannot be intimidated.”
“I’d like to say to women out there everywhere,” she added on MSNBC. “Be who you are, do what you do and let us get on with discussing the real issues of this country.”
As for Ryan, “This is just par for the course, unfortunately,”she told The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple.“But I’ll be back. I’ll be back.”
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh look who's back..........
coming off a bender...
talking about integrity... lol...
