DNC: Trump Spox Sean Spicer Is A “Shill” For Putin

SNAP. The Hill reports:

Democrats slammed Sean Spicer on Monday for saying there is “zero evidence” Russia influenced the 2016 election, accusing the incoming White House press secretary of being a “shill” for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In an email, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) called Spicer’s comments false and pointed to an interview where several former White House press secretaries suggested President-elect Donald Trump often creates his own facts.

“Right on cue, Trump’s incoming White House press secretary was on the morning shows today spinning the falsehood that there is ‘zero evidence’ that Russia influenced the election through their hacking of DNC and Clinton campaign officials,” the DNC email stated. The email was sent under a subject line arguing that the incoming White House press secretary “shills for Putin.”

On Fox News on Monday, Spicer claimed there was “zero evidence” of Russian interference in the 2016 election, despite intelligence agencies’s reports about the hacking campaign leading up to Trump’s electoral win.
