Let’s just say Josh Earnest and the White House know it when they see it:
#Breaking: The White House press secretary says Sunday's shooting in Garland, Texas, was an "attempted terrorist act" that was averted
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) May 5, 2015
Josh Earnest, at the White House press briefing on Tuesday, called Sunday's shooting in Texas an "attempted terrorist act" that was averted.

“Attempted”? Really?

Ugh.
@thehill @instapundit "Attempted"? Oh, brother! It WAS a terrorist attack!
— Cranky (@CrankyWW) May 5, 2015
No, @PressSec. It was a terrorist attack that was stopped, not an attempt that was averted. https://t.co/jMLldSMx8Y

@CNNPolitics @NoahCRothman I doubt the guy they shot agrees with the "attempted" part.

That’s a pretty safe bet.
