One, this is hilarious, and two, Team Obama sends its flunkies to Fox News only when it suits them. And in this case, gets its hat handed to them. From TV Newser:
White House press secretary Josh Earnest made his first visit to “Shepard Smith Reporting” this afternoon. The 7-minute interview focused on the White House messaging about the mission to take out ISIS in Syria and Iraq and, in Earnest’s words, “the Muslim-led countries who are part of the coalition.”
“Like Saudi Arabia’s going to have some boots over there? or Jordan?” Smith asked in jest. “There will be no commitment from those two, on this I will bet every penny I will ever make at this network.”
Embarrassing! This was supposed to be the easy interview for Team Obama, too:
Shepard Smith grilled Josh Earnest. He just kept repeating the Obama talking points. No real answers
