Many mainstream media journos have clearly been triggered since Obama’s heir-apparent Hillary Clinton lost the election in November, and some seem to long for a day when the administration in power was totally honest. Here’s ABC News WH correspondent Jon Karl cc-ing Spicer on a reminder about honesty from… Josh Earnest?
Here's that time I asked @joshearnest if it was ever okay to lie or mislead from the White House podium. cc @seanspicer & @paulafaris pic.twitter.com/DrKtW8MwCA

Well, if Josh Earnest said it, it must be true, right!?
You know he was lying in that answer, right? https://t.co/AvOI6QFg9O

And then he went on to say that if you liked your plan you would keep it https://t.co/MX19aExIMY

How quickly some forget!
Of course Josh Earnest would never lie or mislead. FFS https://t.co/e5JNpxP2wM

My favorite lies were about the Iran deal & that ppl would be keeping their doctors.
Jonathan, which lies were your favorite to cover for? https://t.co/MX19aExIMY

He was lying to you

I don't get this: @joshearnest doesn't say "No" in the clip.
Is this supposed to be a rebuke of something/someone? https://t.co/t32DLWFiFS

He said he felt it was inappropriate, but did not say he never did it
