On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer weighed in on the controversy over Samantha Bee by stating that while there is a “double standard,” people should be forgiven when they apologize for their mistakes.

Spicer said, “[O]n Samantha Bee, look, I believe — I made a lot of mistakes at the White House, that I asked for forgiveness for, and I think people were very gracious, in many cases, in affording me that. … I think that when people screw up and they apologize, they should be given forgiveness.”

Spicer continued that there is a “double standard” where people on the left are absolved of their mistakes.
