Sean Spicer’s apology tour deserves a big fat eye roll

Sean Spicer is trying to rehabilitate his image after resigning as President Trump's press secretary, but we shouldn't let him off that easily.

He's already appeared on talk shows, showed up at the Emmys where he mocked himself and his lies told on behalf of the president, and Monday even gave an apologetic interview to the New York Times.

Except he hasn't really apologized at all - and Twitter has noticed.

In a Monday interview with Times reporters Glenn Thrush and Dave Itzkoff, Spicer admitted that he regretted at least one of the falsehoods that he pushed about the president.

"Of course I do, absolutely," Spicer said about his regrets for chastising the media for accuratelyreporting that Trump's inauguration crowd size was smaller than Obama's.

His attempts at regret did not go down well.

Spicer told the Timeshis Emmy joke was "an attempt to poke a little fun at myself and add a little bit of levity to the event." But many saw it as a shameful attempt to rehabilitate his image and aid a transition into a lucrative post-White House career.

Spicer can't get off the hook with just a few media appearances. The shame train will carry on until he truly apologizes and acknowledges the lies he's promoted.
