Hundreds of people are trolling Sean Spicer on Venmo
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is making quite a mark on Washington in his first weeks as the spokesperson for the Trump administration.
After establishing an incredibly antagonistic relationship with the press in his first address, Spicer's prop-based briefings have continued to confound. A hilarious (and effective) Saturday Night Live sketch over the weekend brought even more attention to the press secretary. And now it looks like someone found his public Venmo account.
There's no real way to verify whether or not the account is in fact Sean Spicer, but a quick look at his public "friends" list on the app reveals a handful of Trump campaign organizers and members of the media.
Once this information became public knowledge, people began sending Spicer money to "buy gum" and "get a new suit." Others have opted to request sums of money for their journalism degrees, Bowling Green massacre victim donations and anxiety medication.
The account appears to have started denying some of the requests.
Enjoy your notifications, Mr. Spicer.
