White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer unexpectedly peaced out of his own press conference Tuesday after the press grilled the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Mick Mulvaney.

Spicer did not answer reporters' questions about pressing international issues such as tensions with North Korea or the details of President Trump's phone call Tuesday afternoon with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

As might be expected, the press was exceedingly unhappy with the development. Listen to them whine "Seannnnnn" at Spicer's departing back below. Jeva Lange
