Fallon: Spicer ‘Should Have Resigned’ Rather than Lie

‘He should have resigned, rather than go out and take the podium’

EXCERPT:

FALLON: “Yes. Some folks at the leadership of “The Wall Street Journal.” And I even saw a Politico headline yesterday that called it fudging the facts. I think we need to be clear. If we’re going to contest what the Trump administration is clearly setting out to do here, we need to call it out for what it is, and that was a lie. We can infer motive here, because Donald Trump himself went out at the CIA earlier in the day and tried to suggest that there was a million-and-a-half people out there. He was called out on it. And then Sean Spicer went out there and double downed on that. There is clear intent. It was a lie. It should be called a lie. And if he was put in the situation by Reince Priebus or his boss, Donald Trump, to go out and tell a lie to the American people, he should have resigned, rather than go out and take the podium.”
