After just over six months in the job, White House press secretary Sean Spicer has officially thrown in the towel. Donald Trump’s much-maligned media man, best known for his regular guest spot on Saturday Night Live, resigned on Friday following the appointment of New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director.

According to anonymous insiders who spoke to The New York Times, Spicer believed Scaramucci’s hiring would “add to the confusion and uncertainty already engulfing the White House”. The president reportedly asked Spicer to remain in his position under Scaramucci, an offer that Spicer rejected.

As the main line of communication between the White House and the press, Spicer became notorious for his role in countless media debacles. He literally began his tenure by lying about the size of the crowds at Trump’s inauguration. Since then he also fucked up Malcolm Turnbull’s name, said Hitler never used chemical weapons, got caught hiding in the bushes outside the White House, and fucked up Malcolm Turnbull’s name again.

So yeah, maybe his resignation is for the best. The internet certainly seems to think so.

Don’t cry for Spicer too hard, though. Odds are he’ll have a job at Fox News by the end of next week.
