Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer told CNN on Thursday morning that he would “probably” call Ted Cruz an “asshole” for his Wednesday evening convention speech that failed to include an endorsement of GOP nominee Donald Trump. Asked about New York Rep. Peter King’s comment that Cruz is an “asshole” for the bold stand against Trump, Spicer confessed: “I would probably use the same verbiage.” Asked whether King needs to apologize for the vulgar insult, Spicer—who this week cited My Little Pony to defend Melania Trump’s plagiarism—said, “King’s from New York, he uses very colorful language.”
