At a press briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer asserted the media is so obsessed with trying to find evidence of collusion between the administration and Russia, that if Trump were to put Russian salad dressing on his dinner, it would become a “Russian connection.”
“With all of these investigations, questions of what is ‘is,’ how does this administration try to revamp its image? Two and a half months in, we’ve got this Yates story today, you’ve got other things going on, you’ve got Russia, you’ve got, you’ve got wiretapping...” the reporter began to ask.
“No, we don’t have that,” Spicer responded. After being interrupted, he continued, “I’ve said it from the day that I got here until whatever that there is no connection. You’ve got Russia. If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that’s a Russian connection. But every single person--” Spicer answered before being interrupted again.
“I appreciate your agenda here,” Spicer continued after crosstalk, “But the reality is--hold on--no. At some point, report the facts. The facts are that every single person who has been briefed on this subject has come away with the same conclusion: Republican, Democrat. So I’m sorry that that disgusts you--you’re shaking your head--I appreciate it, but--but understand this, that at some point, the facts are what they are. And every single person who has been briefed on this situation with respect to the situation with Russia--Republican, Democrat, Obama appointee, career--have all come to the same conclusion. At some point, April, you’re going to have to take no for an answer with respect to whether or not there was collusion.”
