10 Reasons Why Sean Spicer Is the Funniest Guy in DC

5. No, the President Didn’t Actually Mean ‘Wiretapping’ When He Tweeted About ‘Wire Tapping’

Here’s one of those moments where Sean Spicer’s ability as a deadpan comedian is really underrated. In mid-March, the Ginger President went on a Twitter rant wherein he accused former President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower prior to the election. Of course, Trump spelled it “wire tapp” which is wrong in oh so many ways. Anyway, when asked about it, the Press Secretary said — with a straight face, mind you — that Trump used the term “wire tapp” in quotes not because he’s terrible at grammar (and kinda stupid), but because he was using the specific term as a stand-in for a broader forms of surveillance which the White House definitely used under Obama. Sure, there’s definitely room for a broader interpretation in Trump’s wording. It’s not like the President is directly accusing Obama himself of specifically tapping his pho- … oh, wait.

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!
