Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) March 28, 2017 Obviously, it did not go well and people on Twitter quickly seized the opportunity:Spicer: If Pres used Russian Dressing that's a Russian connection. Yet I'm pretty sure WH wouldn't obstruct justice to prove he used ranch pic.twitter.com/Rs5D9SEWAK MB (@mikebailyphoto) March 28, 2017 Baloney, Russian dressing,American cheese on white bread with a "small pickle" on the side."served by a Mexican or Muslim,"#TrumpSandwich pic.twitter.com/kPQbMj5P27 Donald J.

Lydia Polgreen (@lpolgreen) March 28, 2017 Spicer also apparently forgot to research the origins of Russian dressing, as it was actually invented in Nashua, New Hampshire by a man named James E. Colburn, according to the Portland Press Herald:Russian dressing was invented in New Hampshire. It has nothing to do with Russia.
