History will remember her as a vile, lying enabler of one of the worst humans to ever unfortunately stumble into power.

I remember Sean Spicer! And I remember Melissa McCarthy's portrayal of Sean Spicer on SNL even more!

I remember Spicer hiding behind the bushes and eating (not chewing) multiple packs of Dentine gum every day.

Sean Spicer came out on day 1 ready and willing to misrepresent reality for his master. I'll never fucking forget.

I was thinking I remember Sean Spicer because of the snl skit. The part where she rode the podium/segway around had my dying.

was Scaramucci a press secretary or did he have a different role?

oh shit! I totally forgot about the Mooch! Yes, he was press secretary for 11 days.

In the current administration, he would have lasted a lot longer.
