(CNN)Brian Fallon, Hillary Clinton's former press secretary, on Sunday slammed White House press secretary Sean Spicer, saying he had "told a lie" and should resign if he couldn't stand up to his boss.
In an interview with CNN's Brian Stelter, Fallon referenced Spicer's comments during his first White House press briefing on Saturday, in which he berated the gathered media for reporting that President Donald Trump's inauguration crowd had been smaller than that of President Barack Obama's.
"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period," Spicer told journalists, a claim that is inaccurate. He went on to accuse the media of posting photos that were "intentionally framed" to make Trump's crowd look smaller, an assertion that left many members of the press stunned.
Spicer's comments, Fallon told Stelter, were "an affront to anybody who is on our side of the wall and works in this business."

If any of this bunch ever tells the truth about anything at all, you can be sure of two things: first, it was accidental; and second, telling the truth is the only thing that will get them fired.

they'd have everyone resigning.
Not a single one of them ever tells the truth about anything with the possible exception of "My name is...".
