Before White House Press Secretary began fudging facts, he was fighting...Dippin’ Dots.
Starting in 2010, the man who would become the top spokesman for the President of the United States devoted generous scoops of tweets to attacking the beady frozen treat known as the “Ice Cream of the Future.”
Sean Spicer kept his cream conflict going for five years — stretching through his tenure with the Republican National Committee.
On April 7, 2010, Spicer — then working for Endeavor Global Strategies, a PR firm he cofounded — let it be known to his Twitter flock: “Dippin dots is NOT the ice cream of the future.”
Two months later, Spicer shared a Wall Street Journal story about Dippin' Dots filing for bankruptcy.
His resentment seemed to melt for a few years, until September 2015. By then, he had advanced to become the RNC's chief strategist.
Spicer, possibly at a baseball game, tweeted: "If Dippin Dots was truly the ice cream of the future would not have run out of vanilla.” He tagged the Washington Nationals in his post.
