White House press secretary Sean Spicer drubbed journalists at the first press conference of the week over the way they reported on the travel ban, National Security Council changes and the Holocaust Remembrance Day statement.

Spicer called “utter nonsense” the reports that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence were downgraded in the NSC reorganization, showing highlighted printouts of Obama-era memos and comparing Trump’s wording with that of the Bush administration.

Spicer also commented on reports that 100 State Department officials signed a memo against the travel ban.

Spicer pointed out that the order specifically mentions Syria, while the six other nation were listed in the 2015 decision by the Obama administration.
