‘Surly Spice’ quits
Glenn Thrush at NYT reports:
Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned on Friday morning, telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.
Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to a person with direct knowledge of the exchange.
On MSNBC, Chris Jansing reported chaos at the White House – at least one reporter had a door slammed in “his” face as Jansing described “tension in that building this morning.”
