Sean Spicer is seemingly sloshed in this State of the Union interview from the Trump hotel bar

There's no shame in having a little too much fun with a State of the Union drinking game. Sean Spicer's mistake was that he went on live TV afterward.
The former White House press secretary watched President Trump's annual speech from the Trump Hotel, seemingly indulging in a few drinks along the way. Then he sat down for a live interview with conservative channel BlazeTV, presuming that "interview" means "a series of uncomfortable and unintelligible comments."
In what seemed like an attempt to avoid an eventual trainwreck, Spicer started out by telling host Eric Bolling to bring previous guest Katrina Pierson back onscreen to share more "insightful insights." Then he dropped his first in a series of odd remarks, saying he was "agnostic" while working at the Republican National Committee and "didn't care who won" the presidency.

Next up, Spicer claimed Trump asked him "when are you coming back to the White House?" Spicer apparently responded "I love you, I love this White House, but you're never getting me back." Then he ranted about how much he "love[s] velvet" because "it feels good," rubbed Bolling's arm, and insisted the host got his suit at Target.
As Spicer recommends, you can find out more about what he's up to at SeanSpicer.com, where he has most certainly not listed this interview under his media appearances.
