ABC Faces Boycott Threat for Casting Sean Spicer on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

ABC is facing calls for a boycott after the network announced that Sean Spicer will join the upcoming season of the popular reality competition series Dancing with the Stars.

Sean Spicer, who served as President Donald Trump’s first press secretary and director of communications, will join a cast that includes Christie Brinkley, Lamar Odom, James Van Der Beek, singer Mary Wilson and country star Lauren Alaina. The show’s 28th season is set to begin airing in September.

But no sooner was the casting announced Wednesday on Good Morning America did threats of a viewer and advertiser boycott began flying on social media.

Scott Dworkin, the co-founder of the Democratic Coalition, an anti-Trump PAC, wrote: “You will face a boycott. A big one. Of the show and of your entire network. And it will be well deserved. Folks will contact every advertiser you have and demand they stop running ads.”

More hate here

Hmmm So it's okay to have Ray Lewis on the show (didn't he stab somebody to death a few years ago?) but not Sean Spicer because Orange Man Bad? Liberals whine and cry about everything.

"More hate here" is the link?

What was the cry about the NFL? Boycott. What was the cry about Nike? Boycott.

But now it's "hate" because it's from the other side of the field?

Stunning partisanship on display.

Look, if it's not o.k. for them, it's not o.k. for us and visa-versa. THIS is the problem in America today. THIS is the biggest problem... venomous partisanship, AND mindless parroting of what your "team media" tells you.

WE. HAVE. GOT. TO. STOP. THIS. INSANITY.

My prediction: they will keep him on and the first show he's in will have high numbers for the curiosity factor. The boycott will be a mirage.

1:58 You cannot even begin to compare the nfl players kneeling during the anthem to a former Whitehouse employee starring on a show. I don’t give a crap what side of the aisle you are on if you disrespect the flag I’m going to call you on it. But Spicer signing for dancing with the stars and then getting attacked because he worked for Trump are TWO different things and you know it🙄
Yea we need to stop the twisting of facts for our own agenda. YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE.

AOC has been asked about dancing with the Stars but she declined. She said she didn't want to go up in outer space or the Moon or Mars.
