State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki has her work cut out for her. After President Obama callously referred to four dead French Jews as “a bunch of folks” shot at random “in a deli,” and White House press secretary Josh Earnest doubled down, it was evidently Psaki’s turn to run interference.
She apparently thought this would be helpful:
We have always been clear that the attack on the kosher grocery store was an anti-semitic attack that took the lives of innocent people.

Fox News’ Bret Baier wasn’t impressed:
“@statedeptspox: We've always been clear the attack on the kosher grocery store was an anti-semitic attack..” -Actually not that clear 2day

We don’t blame him for being skeptical. Either Jen has a short-term memory problem or she’s completely full of it:

We’re guessing it’s the latter.
@BretBaier @statedeptspox "clear"? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
