President Obama’s ‘yes men’ continue to spin the idea that the three
scandals that have brought his administration to its knees, do not
exist. That is what Obama’s main mouthpiece, White House Press Secretary
Jay Carney told CNN’s resident anti-gun zealot, Piers Morgan.
Carney told Morgan that there were no scandals, that “you’re
concocting scandals that don’t exist.” Carney was also quick to try to
dismiss the recent Benghazi probe in the U.S. House of Representatives,
as merely a Republican witch hunt, that has, “fallen apart.”
Here is what our friends over at news service, Blaze reported:
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney appeared on CNN’s “Piers
Morgan Live” Thursday night to answer questions related to the three
separate scandals that have turned the federal government on its head
over the last two weeks.
Carney’s answers summed up: There are no scandals.
“You’re concocting scandals that don’t exist,” Carney said, when show
host Piers Morgan asked how the Obama administration would “restore the
faith that some Americans have lost” in its transparency.
“Especially with regard to the Benghazi affair that was contrived by
Republicans and, I think, has fallen apart largely this week,” Carney
said.
He continued, “The fact of the matter is that this administration has
a record on transparency that outdoes any previous administrations. And
we are committed to that. The president is committed to that.”
Beginning last week when several high-level government officials
testified on what happened leading up to the attack on an American
consulate in Libya in September, two other scandals potentially
implicating the Obama administration have developed: One in which the
IRS unfairly targeted conservative non-profits for scrutiny, the other
involving the Department of Justice secretly seizing the phone records
of Associates Press reporters and editors last year.
Regarding the Benghazi attack, Carney dismissed it as “a faux controversy stirred up by Republicans.”
On the IRS issue: “When [President Obama] found out… that there had
been inappropriate and wrong conduct by IRS personnel… he spoke out
about it, he made clear he thought it was an outrage and he has taken
action.” (Acting IRS Director Steven Miller submitted his resignation
Wednesday.)
And on the Associated Press scandal, which Obama has only commented
on to say that the White House had no knowledge of: “It is entirely
inappropriate for a president… to engage in… a criminal investigation.”
At the start of the program, Carney said it’s been “a challenging week, but a week that I’ve enjoyed.”
