Spicer earns Four Pinocchios for false claims on inauguration crowd size
This is an appalling performance by the new press secretary. He managed to make a series of false and misleading claims in service of a relatively minor issue. Presumably he was ordered to do this by Trump, who conjured up fantastic numbers in his own mind, but part of a flack’s job is to tell the boss when lies are necessary — and when they are not.
Spicer earns Four Pinocchios, but seriously, we wish we could give five.
