Sean,France we hardly knew ye.
Sean Spicer turned in his resignation as White House press secretary on Friday, marking the end of a short and particularly contentious run as the public-facing voice of President Donald Trump.
It's not often that White House press secretaries became household names, but Spicer became an exception—particularly after Melissa McCarthy's impersonation of him on Saturday Night Live.

Reporters thought it was interesting that, given all the potential red lines one might draw while working for Trump, the Scaramucci appointment was when Spicer could take no more.

Spicer lasted barely six months before turning in his resignation, while, according to The Washington Post, his 30 immediate predecessors lasted an average of about three years. But hey, he stayed on the job longer than five press secretaries in history, making his tenure only the sixth-shortest all time.
