Wanna get away? Sean Spicer accidentally tweets link to vacation site

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

I’ve been accused of being overly harsh on White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer for his flubs. Everyone makes mistakes, after all. But here’s the thing about Stammering Spice: he has literally one job to do, which is to communicate competently, yet he’s consistently terrible at communicating. So yeah, he blew it on Twitter yet again today in amusing fashion, and I’m going to make fun of him for it once again. After all, this time he seems to be subconsciously trying to signal that he wants a vacation.

For those keeping score, Sean Spicer has now twice accidentally tweeted his own password for all to see. He retweeted a satire article about himself from The Onion that he appeared to believe was real. He publicly tweeted a presumably private message about how “tough” the next day was going to be for him. He tweeted that Donald Trump, not Ben Carson, had been named the new HUD Secretary. And he recently tweeted that Trump had signed a new executive order about nothing. So today’s latest flub is just par for the course. What was Spicer’s sin this time? His swiftly-deleted tweet read like this:

Speaking to auto workers in Detroit @there is no more beautiful sight than a car made in the United States”

For those not familiar with Twitter lingo, “@there” was an accidental link to a vacation travel site on Twitter. It was difficult to even figure out what he was talking about, until he replaced it with a new tweet which correctly credited the quote to his boss:

Speaking to auto workers in Detroit @POTUS “there is no more beautiful sight than a car made in the United States”

So yeah, this may not be one of Sean Spicer’s most notorious flubs. But we’re going to keep making fun of him for these things until he figures out how to become competent at his one and only job duty – or at least until he takes that vacation. Contribute to Palmer Report
