To: Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary
Sean Spicer: Stop lying or resign
As White House press secretary, you have an ethical obligation to tell the truth. Having made what the New York Times called "a series of false statements" on January 21, 2017, you have a choice: Either apologize and commit not to lie in the future or resign.
Why is this important?
As White House press secretary, you don't have the power to stop the president from lying, but you should not lie. If you feel you cannot serve as press secretary without lying, you must resign. The false statements you made on January 21 include saying that Mr. Trump had drawn "the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration" a statement that photographs and recorded Metro ridership numbers clearly show to be false. If the public cannot trust what the White House press secretary says, our system of government cannot function properly.
