“Would you characterize the behavior described in that as sexual assault,” the conservative Weekly Standard’s John McCormack asked the GOP’s top spokesperson, Sean Spicer.

“I never said it,” Spicer later insisted when The Washington Post called to check his quote.
McCormack provided audio of his taped interview with Spicer to the Post, and he also asked the same question of top Trump surrogate and U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
