Spicer vows to sue AP over story on N-word

Sean Spicer is threatening legal action against The Associated Press after being accused by a black man of using the N-word when he was in high school.

A lawyer said Saturday night that the AP “recklessly republished a categorically false accusation” against the former White House press secretary, according to The Hill.

“The claim is a lie. Absent an immediate retraction, Mr. Spicer will take legal action Monday,” Michael Bowe said in a statement.

A man claiming to be Spicer’s former classmate at Portsmouth Abbey School approached the former Trump staffer during a book signing in Middletown, R.I., on Friday.

Spicer (inset) is promoting “The Briefing: Politics, the Press and the President,” about his time in the White House.

“Sean, I was a day student at (Portsmouth) Abbey, too, with you,” said Alex Lombard, according to video obtained by NewportRI.com. “Don’t you remember? You don’t remember that you tried to fight me? But you called me a (racial epithet) first.”

Security booted Lombard from the Barnes & Noble, but he added: “I was 14 then. I was a scared kid then, Sean. I’m not scared to fight you now.”

Regnery Publishing publicist Lauren McCue told The Hill that Spicer “can’t recall any incident” like the one that Lombard alleged.
