On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was in over his head and didn’t stand a chance working with a president as difficult as President Trump.
Krauthammer said, “Sean Spicer, we hardly knew ye. I feel sorry for Sean Spicer…I think his problem was he was just way over his head. This is a guy who was not prepared, and for a particularly difficult president. I mean, if he’d had Thomas Jefferson as his president, he would have had a hard time, but with somebody as mercurial and changeable as President Trump, I think he had no chance at all. It began really badly with the first event, which was trying to pretend that the crowds at the inaugural, which was a trivial issue, were the largest ever in history, which they weren’t. And he did it angrily. And then it got worse where — I mean, he actually referred to concentration camps as ‘Holocaust centers.’ This is a man who should not have been in that position. And I think he’s sort of liberated now. It’s good for him to be somewhere else.”
