Sean Spicer Russian Dressing Memes
Sean Spicer Makes Russian Dressing Joke, Internet Responds With Resounding "WTF?"
Right behind President Donald Trump, Press Secretary Sean Spicer is the undeniable runner-up for most meme-worthy White House employee. The guy's got a knack for awkwardly wearing his pins upside down during press briefings, and he loves using dramatically large stacks of paper as props for making political statements. But the latest Spicer meme that's making us LOL is inspired not by his odd actions but by his words — and more specifically, one of his attempted jokes.
In a press briefing on March 28, Spicer fielded a question about Trump's alleged ties to Russia, and his response included a reference to a zesty condiment. "If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection," he says in the beginning of the video below.

Oh boy, Spicer. This one is quite the dad joke, if we do say so ourselves. Naturally, the internet agreed and had a lot of opinions about his salad dressing analogy.
One person immediately noticed how well-rehearsed his delivery was.
Sean Spicer just killed it with that Russian dressing joke he totally hasn't been rehearsing in his bathroom mirror for three weeks

Of course, some couldn't resist tossing out some good ol' salad puns.

Someone got oddly suspicious about his motives for the mention.
Everyone knows Russian dressing goes on Reubens, not salad. What kind of cover-up is Spicer trying to pull?

And still others brushed aside Spicer's joke and were only concerned with what ingredients are even in Russian dressing.
"RUSSIAN DRESSING" IS KETCHUP AND MAYO AND NO I'M NOT JOKING LOOK IT UP

What's the difference between Russian dressing and Thousand Island?

Alas, it looks like his reference wasn't as well-researched as he initially thought. Awkward.
contra @seanspicer, Russian salad dressing was invented in Nashua, NH
