Sean Spicer Slams Jen Psaki: I’ve Done Multiple Tours, Don’t You Dare Minimize or Question My Service to This Nation

EXCERPT:

SPICER: "You know, Lyndsay, I follow tradition. Press secretaries never comment on the previous press secretary or the current one and I’ve respected that. I haven’t responded to Jen or reacted to her, but she crossed a line today. She throws to bring me into this. So, Jen, you want to know about my qualifications? Joining the military and wearing the uniform of this amazing country remains one of my greatest decisions in life. For 22 years, I’ve had the honor of serving alongside some of the most talented, patriotic and brave individuals this country has to offer. I’m a proud graduate of the U.S. Naval War College. I’ve done multiple tours and politics has never entered into my service. I’ve served under five different presidents of both parties. When you wear the uniform, you serve the commander-in-chief. We take an oath as officers to the Constitution, not to a party. Each of us chooses how we’re going to serve this country. I won’t ever question how anyone chooses to do that. I won’t question how you choose to do that, Jen, but don’t you dare ever minimize or question my service to this nation. You got it? These bodies have been free from politics and worked in a bipartisan way until today. This administration made them political. Not one Obama appointee on these boards was removed when Trump came in, not a single one. This move has taken partisanship to a new level.”
