MSNBC Lectures RNC’s Spicer on ‘Uncle Sugar’ and Republican ‘Tone’ Problems

‘What are you going to do with Mike Huckabee and the rest of them?’

WITT: “Yeah, but you know what, Sean, I mean, let's face it. You talk about from where you sit -- you are communications director there for the RNC, so when you hear something like what Mike Huckabee said, granted you're saying these are individuals saying these things, Mike Huckabee is very high profile. Do you wish you could just sit down with him and say, do not go there like that? I mean look at where Reince Priebus even tweeted; I wouldn't have said it like this.”
SPICER: “Look, the governor spoke for 15, 20 minutes; most of his speech was actually very eloquent. He talked a lot about how we're going out there, reaching out to folks, and how we have to do it. I agree with the chairman that there are a couple words in the way he describes Democrats' actions as not the way we would have probably described them, but, you know, you can probably look through almost every speech and find something that somebody said that probably could have been worded differently. I mean, look at your own network, frankly, Alex. Between Martin Bashir, Alec Baldwin, Melissa Harris-Perry, this is not something that is something held entirely to the Republican Party. Your own network has problems with communicating itself.”
