James Corden is going to regret taking this photo.
The "Late Late Show" host was photographed giving former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer a kiss on the cheek backstage at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, immediately sparking backlash all over social media.
The photo was taken after Spicer made a cameo during host Stephen Colbert's opening monologue, shocking the audience and causing controversy online after many critics slammed the show for helping "normalize" his image after being Donald Trump's mouthpiece. "Scrubs" star Zach Braff was among the critics saying he wasn't "ready to laugh 'with' Sean Spicer. I think he is an evil, opportunistic liar that hurt our country."

A kiss, a hair tussle. Nothing to see here, just the normalization of an admin that acts as a safeguard for white nationalism. @JKCorden https://t.co/IiamZHwvIe
