We’d understand it if sometimes, Sean Spicer just isn’t feeling up to the whole White House press secretary thing. After all, it’s not exactly an easy task.
Still, when you sign on for that job, people kind of expect you to, you know, do it. And today, he … didn’t. After Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney finished speaking, Spicer took off without fielding any questions:

That was entertaining … but honestly, this isn’t a great look for Spicer.

@lachlan @colincampbell I don't think he wanted to follow Mulvaney, who it seems is a FAR better public speaker.
— Ian Nelson (@cellarjellyian) May 2, 2017
@ABCPolitics @PressSec He is realizing that there is nothing he can say that will make this president believable.

Hopefully he had a better excuse than that.
