According to a Politico report, the White House is still reeling from a Saturday
Night Live sketch that took aim at press secretary Sean Spicer. In
particular, sources say that it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that
hit President Trump hardest, because he was said to believe it made the
press secretary appear weak. “Trump doesn’t like his people to look
weak,” a top donor told a reporter. The SNL caricature showed a
gum-chewing, belligerent Spicer played by Melissa McCarthy in drag.
Trump was relatively silent about the sketch on Twitter, an
uncharacteristic choice for the easily ruffled commander in chief.
According to Politico, the bit “struck a nerve” and created an unease
within the West Wing. Spicer on Sunday called the show’s portrayal of the president “too mean.” |
