Maggie Haberman of the New York Times suggests White House press secretary Sean Spicer may have been set up when he defended President Trump’s false crowd estimates last night:
Putting everything else aside, I’ve had a few people close to Trump administration suggest this may have been a trap for the press secretary.
He was not Trump’s first choice for press secretary, and was pushed by Priebus. And he may have walked himself into it.
Aaron Blake: That time I caught Sean Spicer making a blatantly false claim.
