White House flack: GOP 'hopes Americans aren't getting health insurance'; Lost plan victims fire back

Doug P. | 10:35 PM on April 30, 2014

“White House Director of Progressive Media and Online Response,” Jesse Lee, blasting a House GOP report on how many people have paid their first month’s premium for Obamacare, demonstrated a willful lack of White House self-awareness on this issue:

The GOP desperately hopes Americans aren't getting health insurance–they'll continue to be disappointed, for a long time. #unskew4evah

Yes, the person who works for the president who was awarded the “Lie of the Year” distinction for getting millions tossed off their insurance plans actually said that. Utterly shameless.

If Lee wanted to talk about who doesn’t want others to have health insurance, citizens were eager to have that discussion:

@jesseclee44 Also thanks a lot! My policy will be cancelled in November. Now, who doesn't want people to have insurance? #ObamaCare

@jesseclee44 I can't believe this is the type of stuff an official WH twitter account says. Oh yes I can. Obama is the Divider In Chief.

That's an abject lie, made more pathetic by the source. Your "plan" knocked people out of coverage; you caused loss on ins.@jesseclee44
