Days after he was confronted by an angry woman at an Apple store in Washington, White House press secretary Sean Spicer Monday welcomed Americans to approach him with questions if they happen to spot him in public.

The top Trump spokesman was asked during Monday's White House briefing what his message might be to non-reporters who have sincere questions about President Trump or his policies.

"Ask it," he said. "I interact with individuals all day long, [and] 99 percent of them are pleasant, even with people who may not agree with our philosophy."

"But the beauty of it is it's a free country and that means that people can act how they want no matter how that's interpreted," Spicer continued. "As long as they stay on the right side of the First Amendment, we're good."

Spicer's advice comes 48 hours after a retired elementary school teacher approached him inside an Apple store and demanded to know if he enjoys working for a "fascist." The woman, identified as Shree Chauhan, continued to pepper him with questions about the Trump administration's alleged connections to Russia, asking Spicer at one point "are you a criminal as well?"

"I wanted to speak truth to power," Chauhan later wrote in a blog post for Medium.
