    Demand that ABC drop Sean Spicer from “Dancing with the Stars”!

    Demand that ABC drop Sean Spicer from “Dancing with the Stars”!

    There is nothing entertaining about a white nationalist Trump enabler dancing with celebrities. As Trump’s official spokesperson, former Press Secretary Sean Spicer repeatedly lied to the public — defending Trump’s harmful policies and even lying about the impact of Hitler. Sean Spicer should be ostracized for the heinous acts he committed while in office, not given an opportunity to make six figures dancing on national television.

    Demand that ABC drop Sean Spicer from “Dancing with the Stars”!

    By including Sean Spicer on the family friendly show “Dancing with the Stars,” ABC is attempting to make viewers feel light-hearted about a disgraced white nationalist and about essentially endorsing the racism and violence of the Trump administration. In recent mass shootings, white nationalist terrorists quoted hate speech used by Trump and defended by Spicer. Having Sean Spicer on the weekly show would be an endorsement of the white nationalism and dangerous violence that has increased as a result of Trump’s presidency.

    THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Such action is expected from a far-right network such as Fox News. But ABC, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, claims to be a socially responsible corporation. We will not let them normalize white nationalism.

    A typical cast of “Dancing with the Stars” consists of music icons, former pro-athletes, and reality TV stars — actual celebrities. It shouldn’t include a nefarious former government official who failed the country. Even the show’s host was against including Spicer, but ABC chose to “go in a different direction.”

    Whether ABC intends to attract and engage white nationalist viewers or to rebrand white nationalists leaders as members of society with differing views, the result of ABC’s actions is an endorsement of white nationalist ideology and culture and an integration of those viewpoints into mainstream society. We will not let them normalize white nationalism.

    Demand that ABC drop Sean Spicer today!

    ABC executives:

    In the midst of the most explicit rise in white nationalism in recent times, it is irresponsible and morally reprehensible for your network to give a platform to such a nefarious individual as Sean Spicer. His notorious history of misleading the American public and excusing white nationalism as the White House press secretary set a dangerous precedent for American democracy. 

    Casting Sean Spicer is a smack in the face to the many Americans who have been negatively impacted by the harmful policies of the Trump administration, many of which Sean Spicer lied about. In light of recent mass shootings, where white nationalist terrorists quoted hate speech used by President Trump, the impact of this administration must be taken seriously. Sean Spicer dishonored and disgraced this country. Including him on your show is an endorsement of white nationalism. You must remove Sean Spicer from the cast of “Dancing with the Stars.”
