Trump Can Fire Anyone in DC He Wants to, Thanks to What the Democrats Did to Sean Spicer in 2021
Do you remember Sean Spicer? He was Trump’s first White House Press Secretary in 2017 and the left loved to hate him. Saturday Night Live mocked him on a regular basis and journalists accused him of being a liar.
Spicer is back in the news this week because something the Democrats did to him a few years back set a precedent that Democrats and the media are going to absolutely hate.
If any of Joe Biden’s people insist on keeping their jobs, Trump is going to be able to fire them and Democrats will have nothing to say about it.
Paul Bedard explains at the Washington Examiner:
Trump can fire anybody he wants, thanks to Sean Spicer
President-elect Donald Trump is arriving at the White House armed with a legal weapon that will let him fire any of President Joe Biden’s appointees.
Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around.
And the best part, Spicer told Secrets, “They’ll have no one to blame but Biden himself.”
The case dates to Sept. 8, 2021, when Biden began to fire Trump allies from the visitor boards at the academies of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army.
Spicer and others, including Russ Vought (just picked by Trump to head the Office of Management and Budget) and former Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, were unceremoniously dumped despite several of them having time left on their three-year terms.
Spicer’s lawsuit forced Democrats to claim that Biden could fire anyone he wanted and they won the case. Now they have to live with that legal precedent as Trump heads back to the White House.
It’s going to be really funny when the media figures this out.

Once again, Democrats are going to regret a rule that they themselves put in place.
