Sean Spicer, the lackey who used to regularly spread Trump’s lies to the American public while serving as his White House Press Secretary, is going to be on the upcoming season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. In a recent interview with  Access Hollywood, his co-“star” Karamo Brown said he considered the liar “a good guy, a really sweet guy.”

Yeah, sweet like a kick to the throat.

When asked who he thought his biggest competition is, Brown answered:

“Actually, no lemme tell you something. Um, Sean Spicer and I have been talking. Yeah, like, literally, I was most excited to meet him because, like the thing is that people would look at us and think that we’re polar opposites but I’m a big believer that if you can talk to someone and meet in the middle that you can learn about each other and help each other both grow. So we have been chatting all day today. Like, he’s a good guy, a really sweet guy. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Karamo from Queer Eye saying Sean Spicer is a nice guy. I know. I know.”

Well at least Brown knows, girl.

Brown should also know:

Spicer lied to the press about the circumstances surrounding the firing of then-national security adviser Michael Flynn and the firing of former FBI Director James Comey. On the very network that airs “Dancing with the Stars,” Spicer defended Trump’s baseless and frankly racist lie that three to five million people voted illegally in the November election.

Trump uses Spicer’s lies to help obstruct an investigation into Russia’s role into helping get him elected and to start a Voter Fraud Commission that meant to suppress voting amongst Democrats and people of color. He also lied about a bunch of other hateful stuff too.

“A good guy, a really sweet guy.”

When called out by disappointed fans for his help in rehabilitating Spicer’s well-deserved infamy, Brown responded in some now-deleted tweets:

“First, I have no say who is on the cast and didn’t find out till this morning that he is on! But I’ll tell you this… I’m excited to sit down w/ him and engage in a respectful conversations. Only way things get better is if we try to educate those who have different POV than us.”

In another tweet, Brown also expressed how he “can’t stand people” who post things “just to flame the fire and get a reaction. We fight harder than your ass ever has for people of color and members of the LGBTQIA community” after someone else called him out.

Here’s video of Brown talking about how “nice” Spicer is:

As The Cut points out, Dancing With the Stars has featured right-wing political figures before including grifty Tom DeLay, white supremacist Tucker Carlson, Alaska Moose-mom Bristol Palin and Rick Perry before he became our Secretary of Energy. We assume it’s just a bid by ABC to get conservative viewers. Blecccch.

Sean Spicer Reacts After ‘DWTS’ Host Tom Bergeron Slams the Former White House Liar’s ‘Politically Divisive’ Casting

Sean Spicer Reacts After ‘DWTS’ Host Tom Bergeron Slams the Former White House Liar’s ‘Politically Divisive’ Casting

Shortly after it was announced that former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is to compete on Dancing with the Stars, host Tom Bergeron dropped a bomb on Twitter that he ain’t happy with the casting.

Some thoughts about today pic.twitter.com/aCQ4SHrGCI

Said Bergeron: “A few months ago, during a lunch with DWTS‘ new Executive Producer, I offered suggestions for Season 28. Chief among them was my hope that DWTS, in its returning following an unprecedented year-long hiatus, would be a joyful respite from our exhausting political climate and free of inevitably divisive bookings from ANY party affiliations. I left that lunch convinced we were in agreement. Subsequently (and rather obviously), a decision was made to, as we often say in Hollywood, ‘go in a different direction.’ It is the prerogative of the producers, in partnership with the network, to make whatever decisions they feel are in the best long term interests of the franchise. We can agree to disagree, as we do now, but ultimately it’s their call. I’ll let it to them to answer any further questions about those decisions.”

It isn’t just Bergeron. CNN spoke with nine ABC staffers. One of them said, “It’s a slap in the face to those of us who had to deal with his baloney and the consequences of the ongoing lies and disinformation campaign at the White House.”

Spicer responded to Bergeron’s unhappiness that ABC is glamorizing a paid liar for the Liar in Chief.

Said Spicer to The Blast: “Tom has been a great host to this show for 28 seasons. I actually think that this show is a great opportunity to be an example, how we can have better dialogue and respectfully learn from each other. I would hope by the end of the show Tom looks at this as more of an opportunity to help reach the divide that exists right now. I think that my job right now is to go out there and set an example. … and show America that we can have our political biases, we can vote for our candidates, we can actually get along and have a good time as individuals and do fun things together.”

Spicer will make six figures for DWTS: “According to multiple sources, contestants on the ABC competition series make $125,000 for the show’s rehearsal period and their first two weeks on the air. If they make it to week three and beyond, they begin to earn additional fees each week. Sources say that the maximum contestants can earn is $295,000. By comparison, Spicer was making just under $180,000 during his time with the Trump administration, per a White House report released in 2017.”

NEW WASHINGTON POST ANALYSIS FINDS THAT PROSECUTIONS OF HATE CRIMES IN D.C. HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY: “Of the 178 suspected hate crimes in 2017, police closed 54 cases involving adults by arrest. Prosecutors charged two cases as hate crimes, and both were later dropped as part of plea deals,” write Michael E. Miller (@MikeMillerDC‏) and Steven Rich (@dataeditor). “The Post’s months-long analysis of more than 200,000 D.C. police and court records found that hate-crime prosecutions and convictions are at their lowest point in at least a decade.” Read the full story here.
