Sean Spicer has broken the cardinal rule: Never turn down money.

The former White House Press Secretary, who announced his resignation 25 Trump years (14 days!) ago, has reportedly declined an offer to join the cast of Dancing with the Stars this season.

According to TMZ, Spicer turned down the show because he is simply too busy. (Seems he might like to have a job that doesn't involve famous reality television stars for a little while.)

Sources close to Spicer claim the famously among-the-bushes man has a packed fall schedule with speaking engagements, television interviews, and probably dressing up like a scarecrow and standing in Anthony Scaramucci's front yard in an attempt to intimidate him.

Shockingly, another reason Spicer is reportedly turning the show down is the fact that he is a bad dancer, to which we say, "Whaaaaat???"
