Spicer: If Obama Said 'Come Mow My Lawn, I'd Do It'
- 6 years ago
Sean Spicer said in an interview that if asked, he'd mow former President Obama's lawn in support of showing respect for country's leaders.
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Thursday that if asked, he'd be willing to mow former President Obama's lawn, reports The Hill.
Spicer made that remark during an appearance on the FOX Business network in reference to Tom Hanks' comment about not being interested in going to the White House if invited for a screening of his new journalism-focused movie, 'The Post.'
"It's become now cool to be like that I'm not going to do this," Spicer said. "If President Obama called me right now today and said, 'hey, come mow my lawn,' I'd do it. Because I think that there is something that we all should come together as Americans and want to support our leaders, our elected officials - Republican, Democrat."
He added that comments by Hanks and others about not going to the White House to meet with President Trump are a "sad commentary on where we are."
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Hanks was asked, "If Donald Trump wanted you to screen this movie at the White House, would you go?"
"I don't think I would," Hanks said, in part. "I didn't think things were going to be this way last November. I would not have been able to imagine that we would be living in a country where neo-Nazis are doing torchlight parades in Charlottesville [Va.] and jokes about Pocahontas are being made in front of the Navajo code talkers. And individually we have to decide when we take to the ramparts."
The movie hits theaters on Friday, December 22.
