Sean Spicer Stumbles to Spice Girls Song During DWTS Debut
Sean Spicer Stumbles to Spice Girls Song During DWTS Debut
He stumbled around the dance floor with as little elegance as he demonstrated with facts.
The reviews are in on Sean Spicer's Dancing With the Stars debut, or more importantly, on a neon ruffle shirt that somehow both blinded and overshadowed all.
Called the "Most Embarrassing 'Dancing With the Stars' Debut Ever; Period" by The Daily Beast, a salsa with dance pro Lindsay Arnold earned a judges' score of 12 out of 30, the second lowest score of the night ahead of only Lamar Odom.
Which left the internet debating whether a man who openly lied to the American public should be on the same stage as Lamar Odom. Spicer's musical selection for his dance was to a song by Spice Girls titled "Spice Up Your Life."
Voices in politics and entertainment spent the evening noting the former White House press secretary's history dancing around facts with the same clumsiness demonstrated on the dance floor.
"A reminder that Sean Spicer lied repeatedly to the American people on behalf of Donald Trump and his administration," read a tweet from the Democratic National Committee. "No amount of shimmying will change that."

\u201cSean Spicer should have gone to prison for helping Donald Trump obstruct justice, but I'll accept the punishment of whatever the hell that outfit was that Spicer had to wear tonight on Dancing With the Stars.\u201d— Palmer Report (@Palmer Report) 1568689119
\u201cJust made a pretty serviceable Sean Spicer joke but deleted it after realizing I don\u2019t have a sense of humor about dishonest assholes who sell their soul to a corrupt piece of shit like Donald Trump & betray the American public\u2019s trust the way Spicer did. Fuck him & fuck ABC.\u201d— Jon Zal (@Jon Zal) 1568688482
\u201cAs in White House, Spicer ends up looking foolish and on his knees.\u201d— Claude Taylor (@Claude Taylor) 1568718291

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see how flexible Sean Spicer is on Dancing with the Stars since he had his spine removed years ago. #DWTS\u201d— Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (@Full Frontal with Samantha Bee) 1568678401
Spicer used his new platform last night to bring up his past job.
"I was Donald Trump's first White House press secretary," he said during his introduction on the season premiere. "There's no question my time in the White House was tumultuous."
Then after a montage of some of the moments during his tenure, Spicer celebrated a tweet from President Donald Trump put out congratulating him on the reality gig. "It's nice to have the leader of the free world on your side when it comes to getting votes," he added.
After the show, Spicer took to Twitter alongside former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee to suggest that he will be discriminated against on the show for being a Christian.
However, many critics have continued to focused on his former job as the focus of their critiques, and not religion.
