Offended journalists from several major media outlets took to Twitter to complain that Spicer’s appearance wasn’t funny in the slightest, but it “normalized” him as a “liar.”

CNN’s Chris Cillizza complained Spicer “consistently lied from the podium” so where’s the joke:

Celebrities weighed in as well. Filmmaker Rob Reiner:
