Spicers mest minnesvärda ögonblick i Vita huset
Vita husets pressekreterare Sean Spicer avgår i protest efter att president Donald Trump utsett en ny kommunikationschef, skriver flera medier. Men hans tid vid tjänsten har varit mycket händelserik, konstaterar CNN och Mother Jones som sammanställt hans mest minnesvärda ögonblick på posten.
Spicer hånades rejält på sociala medier efter att han under en presskonferens i januari falskt påstod att en presidentinstallation aldrig har haft så stor publik som Donald Trumps.
Även när Spicer jämförde Syriens ledare Bashar al-Assad med Adolf Hitler bedöms som ett minnesvärt ögonblick under hans tid som pressekreterare.

Sean Michael Spicer (born September 23, 1971) is an American political aide who most recently served as White House Press Secretary and acting communications director under President Donald Trump in 2017. Spicer was communications director of the Republican National Committee from 2011 to 2017, and its chief strategist from 2015 to 2017.
As press secretary, Spicer drew criticism for making numerous false or controversial statements, as well as for displaying combative behavior with the press. The first such instance occurred on the day following Trump's inauguration. Spicer repeated the claim that crowds at the ceremony were the largest ever at such an event and that the press had deliberately under-estimated the number of spectators. Trump aide Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer's action by stating that he had presented what she called "alternative facts" regarding the inauguration's attendance numbers.
