Sean Spicer went an entire press briefing with something in his teeth
It was bound to happen with the White House press briefing always scheduled right after lunch: Press Secretary Sean Spicer held Monday's press event with food stuck in his teeth the entire time.
It was a persistent piece of food that didn't budge from start to finish and unlike the time when his American flag pin was upside down, no one notified him with a courtesy note or polite notification.
Too bad for Spicer, the mystery green blob (any guesses on what is was -- spinach, parsley, kale?) deeply lodged between his lower teeth did not go unnoticed.
On Twitter his embarrassing moment was given the full online treatment. It also didn't help that when the briefing started he was talking about sanctuary cities.

Everyone else tweeted about it, too, with many mentions of Melissa McCarthy using this as fodder for a future SNL skit.

It's subtle, but oh-so distracting.
