Stupid: Josh Earnest said Friday that Republicans seemed “unhappy” that 10 U.S. Navy sailors

No Josh. We are unhappy they captured them and held them on their knees at gunpoint in the first place. Obama doesn't seem concerned about it, but he has been kneeling before Muslims for years. Itis absolutely bizzare that Kerry called this behavior helpful.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday that Republicans seemed “unhappy” that 10 U.S. Navy sailors, captured by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard this week were released, and said following their advice would have led to war…
“I think the only people unhappy about it are the Republicans for some reason,” Earnest told reporters…
“If followed advice of some of the Republican critics of the administration, we’d probably be in a bloody war with Iran right now over our sailors,” Earnest added. “The fact is our sailors right now are out of harms way.”

Josh Earnest goes "Birther" on Ted Cruz...

I thought democrats believed all "Birthers" were crazy racists. They must be evolving on the issue now that Obama is near the end of his second term.

Via Breitbart:
Earnest then seemed willing to feed the narrative questioning Cruz’s citizenship. “It would be quite ironic if after 7 or 8 years of drama around the president’s birth certificate if Republican primary voters were to choose Senator Cruz as their nominee,” he said. “Somebody who actually wasn’t born in the United States and only 15 months ago renounced his Canadian citizenship.”

Josh Earnest declares Trump unqualified because "The first thing a president does, when he or she takes the oath of office, is to swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,"

Unintentional Irony: 
NEW YORK – White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest spoke frankly about Donald Trump's proposed Muslim ban Tuesday, and unintentionally inspired the hilarious #TrumpIsDisqualifiedParty trend on Twitter in the process.
"The first thing a president does, when he or she takes the oath of office, is to swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," Earnest said.  "And the simple fact is, that what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president."
Trump sparked an international backlash when he said that the United States should ban all Muslims from entering the country in the wake of the San Bernardino shootings.
Does Earnest know who he works for?

Head exploding irony: WH spokesman Josh Earnest, "No public official that is above the rule of law”

Chutzpah! 

Via TPM:
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday afternoon that no public official, including the Kentucky county clerk who was jailed earlier in the day for refusing to give marriage licenses to same-sex couples, is above the law.
Kim Davis, a clerk from Rowan County, Kentucky, was found in contempt of court and taken into federal custody Thursday.
Earnest told reporters during his daily media briefing that he had not yet talked with President Obama about Davis being taken into custody.
“On principle, the success of our democracy depends on the rule of law. And there is no public official that is above the rule of law,” Earnest said. “Certainly not the President of the United States, but neither is the Rowan County clerk. That’s a principle that is enshrined in our Constitution and in our democracy and it’s one that obviously the courts are seeking to uphold.”

Fail: WH blames Amtrak derailment on GOP not funding infrastructure. Train speed was over 100 in a 50 mph curve...

Josh Earnest would apologize if he had any character, but he doesn't. 

Via National Journal:
Calling the Amtrak train derailment a “horrific incident,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said investment in upgrades to the rail system’s infrastructure remain important to the administration. And President Obama, he said, has long advocated for Amtrak investments that would “benefit the traveling public.”
But Earnest was quick to note in his press briefing Wednesday that congressional Republicans have blocked such investments in the past.
“Unfortunately we have seen a concerted effort by Republicans for partisan reasons to step in front of those kinds of advancements,” Earnest said, noting that the cause of the crash is still under investigation, and it’s unclear whether infrastructure problems were involved.

Josh Earnest claims WH does not use term :"Radical Islam" because it isn't accurate...




What alternate universe is Obama and Earnest living in? 
(WaTi) – The White House tried to explain Tuesday why it has refused to use the term “radical Islam” in describing the Islamist terrorists responsible for last week’s Paris attacks and other acts of violence across the globe.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the administration doesn’t want to legitimize those terrorists or the “warped” view of Islam they hold. Also, Mr. Earnest said, the phrase “radical Islam” simply is not an accurate way to describe the enemies of the U.S., France and other nations across the globe.
“I certainly wouldn’t want to be in a position where I’m repeating the justification they have cited that I think is illegitimate. They had invoked Islam to justify their attacks,” he told reporters. “I think what I’m trying to do is to describe to you what happened and what they did. These individuals are terrorists. … We have chosen not to use that label [of radical Islam] because it doesn’t seem to accurately describe what happened.”

Josh Earnest mocks Eric Cantor for calling Ebola Eboli." Barack Obama made the same mistake.

Via Breitbart:
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest additionally mocked Chairman Darrell Issa for his pronunciation of the word “Ebola” and dismissed the hearing.
“I didn’t see much of it,” Earnest said to reporters during the White House Press briefing. “It does seem that most of the criticism was registered by somebody who struggled to pronounce the name of the virus at the hearing.”
 Obama calls Ebola "Eboli."

WH Press Secretary Josh Earnest: “we’re seeing the benefit” of the Obama administration’s investment in border security

Click here or image for video

OK. He is trolling us now...

Via Daily Surge:
The rather overused term “tone-deaf” doesn’t even begin to describe the performance from White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest today in defense of Team Obama’s actions to combat the current crisis on the border. In a rather shocking display of sheer lunacy, Earnest insisted that “we’re seeing the benefit” of the Obama administration’s investment in border security right before our very eyes. If that’s the case, can we please get our taxpayer money back? Sheesh. We are indeed seeing the result of the administration’s efforts — or lack thereof — to address our porous border. But “benefit” is the last adjective in the world I’d ever use to describe it.
