Tom Bergeron isn’t alone in his disgust at Sean Spicer being cast on the upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Media firefighters are pretty upset about it, too.

Sean Spicer lied to the public on his first full day as press secretary — and refused to take questions from the press: https://t.co/fnfuVc9Wm0 — Michael Calderone (@mlcalderone) August 21, 2019

NYT's @poniewozik writes how Spicer now being cast on Dancing With the Stars "makes political deception into a joke." https://t.co/kCLfGWs4wU — Michael Calderone (@mlcalderone) August 21, 2019

First of all, exactly how seriously should we be taking “Dancing with the Stars”?

It's. A. Dancing. Competition. — Johnny Clueless (@lunatickfringe) August 21, 2019

I see the outrage machine has moved to dance competitions. — Funky Code Medina ✝️ (@spazafraz) August 21, 2019

The outage machine reporting on a dance competition is a joke. https://t.co/pvrspdvxJn — Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) August 21, 2019

And second of all, White House press secretaries lying to the American public is hardly something that started with the Trump administration.

So a normal press secretary? https://t.co/dzGJLflvrj — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 21, 2019

Sounds like a normal press secretary. — Kayleen ?? (@kayleencaulfiel) August 21, 2019

So just like literally every press secretary before him — скйлер (@Skyl3r26) August 21, 2019

I mean he was a WH press secretary. You're literally paid to lie to the American people. — Thoughts from a Millennial (@SaysAMillennial) August 21, 2019

Name a White House press secretary that didn't lie to you. — "Fredo" is racist toward Italians who are dumb (@jtLOL) August 21, 2019

So I guess the rules are you wait a week and also be a Democrat? EVERY PRESIDENTIAL PRESS SECRETARY IS A DAMN LIAR Even the ones I love like Marlin Fitzwater. How many lies are permissible to you? What rate? When is it OK and when isn't it? https://t.co/3Oa3G6S0ag — Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) August 21, 2019

Would we have thinkpieces devoted to shaming Dancing with the Stars if Josh Earnest were the one lacing up his dancing shoes?

Lol oh of all the ridiculous pearl clutching… — Paulus Landericus (@plandericus) August 21, 2019

Seriously. This is just embarrassing.
