During its live broadcast from the White House, CBS This Morning’s Norah O’Donnell, Gayle King and Charlie Rose spoke with Sean Spicer about his job as President Trump’s chief spokesman.
“I love it. I feel very good. It’s an honor to have this job and I feel humbled to have it,” said Spicer, who slid into the chair moments before his segment began.
As for the daily press briefings, which he says only take up about 40 minutes of his very long days, “I think the TV cameras intensify what goes on there.” And the press: “They have a right and frankly a duty to ask tough questions and get to the bottom of things. But I think there’s a difference, though, about the tone that occurs some times, and an attempt to get a headline rather than a story.”
Sometimes it becomes a game of gotcha. If that’s the game, ‘who can stump the chump,’ then that’s not really an exercise in trying to get to the bottom of a situation.
