More Than 25 Times Trump And Spicer Cited The CBO

Mar 08, 2017

At the daily briefing, the White House Press Secretary launched a preemptive strike against the Congressional Budget Office which has not yet scored the GOP’s bill repealing the Affordable Care Act. “If you’re looking to the CBO for accuracy, you’re looking in the wrong place,” charged Sean Spicer.  But as recently as a few months ago, Spicer and President Trump both cited the CBO in public statements.
