According to Sean Spicer, we are sliding into dictatorship

Today the White House Press Office denied entry to a closed door press gaggle to the following news organizations: The New York Times, CNN, BBC, Politico, Buzz Feed, The Hill, The Los Angeles Times, the Daily Mail, and the New York Daily News.

To its credit, the Associated Press and Time Magazine, in a show of support decided not to join the gaggle. Fox News Pundits Brett Baier and Shep Smith, returning the favor when the Obama White House tried to stonewall them, criticized the Trump White House for this maneuver.

Perhaps the strongest critic of what happened today was the current White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer who in December said actions like this were becoming of dictatorships, not democracies.

What has happened in less than three months to make Spicer embrace the behaviors of the dictator?
