Dancing With the Stars f-cked up big time by casting Sean Spicer—he shouldn't be able to 'rehabilitate' his image
I used to be a huge Dancing With the Stars fan. I would faithfully watch every Monday with my mom and happily live-tweet as I watched my fave stars dance their way to winning that mirror ball trophy. As the series dragged on, however, I wasn’t as committed to the show and tuned in here and there to see how the “stars” fared at choreography and performance.
And sure, some may argue Spicer was simply sticking to Trump’s scripts, that does not mean he isn’t problematic in his own right. In an op-ed for NBC News, contributor Kurt Bardella writes: Trump’s “racist, sexist, destructive agenda is not an agenda of one. It is made possible and executed by people who make the conscious decision to stand next to the president and support, defend and execute his vision for our country. The people who help him do this are not innocent bystanders.
‘Normalizing’ Sean Spicer is dangerous, and sets a bad precedent Spicer’s role in DWTS shows just how blurred the line between celebrity and politics has become. It’s bad enough that a former reality TV star with no experience in politics whatsoever is now POTUS, but to have a highly problematic former White House employee dancing every week for America is the icing on the cake.
“It is the prerogative of the producers, in partnership with the network, to make whatever decisions they feel are in the best long term interests of the franchise,” he wrote. “We can agree to disagree, as we do now, but ultimately it’s their call. I’ll leave it to them to answer any further questions about those decisions.
“Sean Spicer and I have been talking. I was most excited to meet him because, the thing is, is that people would look at us and think that we’re polar opposites, but I’m a big believer that if you can talk to someone and meet in the middle, you can learn about each other and help each other both grow,” Brown told Access Hollywood. “So, we have been chatting all day today. He’s a good guy, really sweet guy.
