SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary: “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe. Even the New York Times printed a photograph showing that a misrepresentation of the crowd in the original tweet in their paper which showed the full extent of the support, depth, and crowd and intensity that existed. These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong. The president was also at the, as you know, the president was at the Central Intelligence Agency today and greeted by a raucous, overflow crowd of some 400 plus CIA employees. There were over a thousand requests to attend, prompting the president to note that he’ll have to come back to greet the rest. The employees were ecstatic that he’s the new commander in chief and he delivered them a powerful and important message. He told them he has their back and they were grateful for that. They gave him a five minute standing ovation at the end in a display of their patriotism and their enthusiasm for his presidency. I’d also note that it’s a shame that the CIA didn’t have a CIA director to be with him today when he visited, because the Democrats have chosen, the Senate Democrats are stalling the nomination of Mike Pompeo and playing politics with national security. That’s what you guys should be writing and covering, that this, instead of sewing division about tweets and false narratives. The president is committed to unifying our country and that was the focus of his inaugural address. This kind of dishonesty in the media, the challenging that bringing about our nation together is making it more difficult. There’s been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold Donald Trump accountable. And I’m here to tell you that it goes two ways. We’re going to hold the press accountable as well. The American people deserve better, and as long as he serves as the messenger of this incredible movement, he will take his message directly to the American people where his focus will always be.”
