Press Secretary Sean Spicer on His Faith, "Praying for Bad Apples" and Why Healthcare Reform is Still in Play"After talks broke down last Friday, I think a lot of folks started to call the president ... Many GOP lawmakers campaigned on the promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare—I think after they went home for the weekend, spent a little time with their constituents, they come back eager to come to the table and try to get a deal on this." -Sean Spicer.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer sat down with David Brody and Jenna Browder Wednesday evening on CBN News' Facebook Live political show, "Brody and Browder," to discuss the issue. "After talks broke down last Friday, I think a lot of folks started to call the president (and) the senior staff here with ideas to get this back on track," Spicer said. "There is a lot of willingness to get this thing done." Many GOP lawmakers campaigned on the promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare, and for that reason, they're considering another vote. "I think after they went home for the weekend, spent a little time with their constituents, they come back eager to come to the table and try to get a deal on this," Spicer said. Religious Liberty They also remember his promise on the campaign trail to repeal the Johnson Amendment, which keeps churches from speaking out politically. "It's something I think you're going to continue to see action on here at the White House," Spicer said. "We've been very busy with other things, but rest assured that the president's commitment to religious liberty, in particular the Johnson Amendment, is alive and well." Spicer's Faith "Probably 99 percent of the people who approach me have very positive things," Spicer said. "I think one of the nicest and most kind things people can ever hear is when someone tells you they're praying for you." "That really is the most that somebody could ever give another individual is to tell them that they are thinking of them," he continued. "They are praying to God that you succeed, that this country succeeds, that this president succeeds." "I get a lot of that and that's probably the most reassuring part of the job," he said. Praying for the 'Bad Apples' "We're still in the season of Lent and this is a great time between prayer and fasting," Spicer added. "It's a reminder during these 40 days of recommitment to a higher calling. "But again I think one of the things it does is it strengthens your faith," he said. "It's one place, despite the negative tweets and the comments Jenna was talking about—or alluding to—that I think it's the one place that you can look to gain strength and confidence and wisdom and guidance." There's no doubt Spicer will have to continue leaning on his faith. As the spokesman for a White House he's facing an aggressive agenda that includes tax reform, rebuilding America's infrastructure and, depending on what happens next week, health care.
