You can ????? ?????? ????? ??????take Sean Spicer out of the White House, but you'll never be able to take him out of the bushes.
It's been more than a year since Spicer was reportedly seen hiding from reporters in — wait sorry, among— some bushes outside of the White House, but he's still being asked about his unique method of dealing with media interviews after FBI Director James Comey was fired.
On Thursday, Rolling Stonepublished an interview with the former press secretary, in which he chatted about his White House regrets, those infamous inauguration crowd brags, and, of course, the whole ~bushes~ debacle.

So when Rolling Stone's Tessa Stuart asked Spicey if there were any specific times when he felt the press reported a story differently than he remembered it, he said, "The one that really sticks out is obviously the whole story of me, quote, 'hiding in bushes.'"
Then, as if the man been waiting for this moment of redemption since The Washington Postfirst outed his hiding spot on May 10, 2017, Spicer told his personal truth.
"I was as close to a bush as any other reporter that night."
"At the end of the White House driveway there's a place where all the media does their live hits. Everybody's got a little space – NBC, CBS, FOX, Sinclair," he explained. "Every single reporter that's reporting live from the White House, they're within five feet of where I stood."
"There is literally video and pictures of me standing in the middle of the White House driveway. That's where I was. And there is no question," Spicer went on to say before declaring, "I was as close to a bush as any other reporter that night."
You hear that, everyone? Spicer was as close to a bush as any other reporter, gosh! Must be true!
Spicer's memoir, The Briefing, is set to be published by Regnery Publishing in July, so perhaps the world will be lucky enough to hear even moredetails on his time in or out of the White House shrubs.
Sadly, Spicer did not address rumors that he stole a mini-fridge after sundown in the Rolling Stone interview, so we may never know the story behind that one.
