Spicer’s stilted strikes and “egregious” smile, the writer explains, conceal a “militaristic…chilly brutality” of a person who “hates” dancing deep down. And worst of all: Spicer’s efficiency is solely “untruthful.”
Not lengthy after the article ran on Monday night time, customers throughout social media lampooned the writer’s dramatic tone, protecting a star sport present as if it have been a narrative in regards to the nuclear launch codes.
That is the one best opinion piece of all time. The columnist means that Spicer’s dancing is “militaristic,” betraying a “chilly brutality.” Critically. https://t.co/rgUXCDiuzw

Appears @giakourlas has problem understanding the premise of a dumb dance contest, crammed with amateurs, that non-professionals vote for. However … she’s simply edgy sufficient to make it as a author, so there’s that.

Whereas the topic of race garnered transient point out amid the dance critique – noting that black dancers acquired fewer votes from the viewers – some readers apparently took discover.
NYT’s bias is on full show in an article about, of all issues, @seanspicer & @DancingABC.
The writer is so unhinged, she calls Sean a “buffoon” & “an untruthful dancer.” ?
She goes so far as to even convey race into #DWTS. ?#Spicer’s dancing has #triggered the NYT.
