Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer got in trouble when he told veteran reporter April Ryan to "stop shaking your head" during a heated exchange at his daily press briefing.
He rejected the premise of her question and said there has been no proven collusion between Trump associates and Russian officials over interference in last year's election, joking that: "if the president put Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection."
Later, in an interview on MSNBC, Ryan said that "Sean is being the White House press secretary, talking about and trying to make this administration look better than what it does right now, and unfortunately I was roadkill today."
In another interview Wednesday morning on CNN, Ryan, a black woman, said she didn't think Spicer was being racist, but maybe sexist. "There was a young lady from Politico over the weekend --a white woman-- who was called an 'idiot' by Sean," she remembered.
"How are you today?" Spicer asked with a smile at Wednesday's briefing.
"I'm fine and how are you?" she replied before moving on to her question about Devin Nunes.
