Sean Spicer joked about lying to the American people in a surprise appearance at Sunday’s 69th annual Emmy Awards. “Harvard fellowships, Emmy appearances, huge speaking fees: there’s just gonna be no penalty for working in Trump’s White House, huh?” Jon Favreau added. Spicer’s tenure serving in the Trump administration was marked by frequent controversies, starting from his first day on the job. Following Trump’s inauguration, the press secretary told reporters that the president’s inauguration featured the largest crowd in presidential inauguration history ― a claim quickly proved false by photographs. It was this same controversy Spicer made light of with a joke during his surprise Emmy appearance.
