A brief look at what is being said on Twitter about Sean Spicer’s very first day as White House Press Secretary…
Sean Spicer lacks the guts or integrity to refuse orders to go out and lie. He is a failure in this job on his first full day.

Might seem quite overwrought
Just wait until you see his act
When we get to Kristallacht.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 22, 2017
