RNC Chief Strategist: CNN Does ‘Great Job Covering the News’

Speaking with CNN’s Michael Smerconish in Saturday, Sean Spicer, the RNC’s Chief Strategist and Communications Director, said, “I think, by and large, CNN does a great job of covering the news.” He also said, “I’ve had a great relationship with a lot of the folks at CNN.”

Given Spicer’s title as Chief Strategist and Communications Director, it was revealing that he told Smerconish, “I really haven’t kept track of the tick-tock” between CNN and Ben Carson when invited to speak about this very issue. Spicer was wholly unprepared to directly respond to CNN’s “investigation” of Carson’s childhood or to Politico’s yellow journalism. He also stated that he has not communicated with Carson’s campaign about the week’s events.
