My Take
Few press secretaries have been thrust into global attention as instantly as Sean Spicer. Born in Manhasset, New York, in 1971, with a naval officer's background, he served as the 30th White House press secretary in 2017 to fiercely divided reactions. Whatever your politics, what I find interesting is the pivot that followed: from a contentious podium to dancing on Dancing with the Stars and writing a memoir, a hard swing from politics into entertainment. There's a certain nerve in someone who was at the center of so much criticism choosing to expose himself again on a new stage. Like him or not, I watch with curiosity.
