Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer reacted to White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's weekend news conference, calling it a "surreal" event.

At the presser, Spicer blasted the media over its coverage of President Trump's inauguration as well as a dispute over the placement of a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the Oval Office.

Krauthammer said the conference was "just plain weird", in that Spicer called the press to the White House to criticize them "basically over ratings".

He said it was reminiscent of a recent statement then-President-elect Trump tweeted, criticizing the "Apprentice" host that succeeded him, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-Calif.), for the ratings the program has received in the president's absence.
