Sean Spicer, the soon-to-be White House press secretary for Donald Trump, said Sunday that the president-elect will rely on Twitter rather than the mainstream media to make major announcements. “You know, with all due respect, I think it freaks the mainstream media out that he has this following of over 45 plus million people that follow him on social media, that he can have a direct conversation,” Spicer said in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.” “There’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s going to do things first and foremost for the American people,” he said. While critics have lambasted Trump for breaking into seemingly senseless tweetstorms about “Saturday Night Live” and other non-presidential things, Spicer stressed that “when he tweets he gets results.” “So whether it’s Twitter, holding a news conference, picking up the phone, having a meeting, he is going to make sure that he continues to fight for the American people every single day,” he said.
