Move over, Jen Psaki. Josh Earnest is back in the ring to take another swing!
Earlier today, Earnest mounted a bizarre — and disturbing — offense for President Obama’s “random” dismissal of four murdered French Jews. It took him a few hours, but he finally seems to have realized that his strategy went over like a lead balloon.
@PressSec well actually it's changed a lot since Karl asked you about it.

Apparently @PressSec recognized looking like an anti-Semite is a terrible look. https://t.co/tqp2LuTwXb

Here’s Joshie’s attempt to smooth things over:
Our view has not changed. Terror attack at Paris Kosher market was motivated by anti-Semitism. POTUS didn't intend to suggest otherwise.

@PressSec Funny, you weren't quite so *earnest* in answering that way earlier.

@PressSec Nice back-step!!!

@BecketAdams @PressSec He didn't "intend" to suggest it? Does he have no control over the words that come out of his mouth?

@PressSec If it was not intended, than why did @BarackObama say it, and you defend and repeat it? So much bullshit out of little men.

@PressSec But you concede the "view" sounded different from the President- from your podium and at State today at least for awhile- right?
— Bret Baier (@BretBaier) February 10, 2015
Dear @PressSec: saying that you, the POTUS, and his @statedeptspox ALL suggested otherwise BY MISTAKE for a whole day is quite alarming.

@PressSec with all due respect sir, you are full of sewage!

Give it up, Josh. You’re not fooling anybody.
Your administration is a joke. https://t.co/aJW3v2GvaG Unfortunately, we have to deal with the consequences. @PressSec
