Josh Earnest, principal deputy White House press secretary, said he was not familiar with the murder of Australian jogger Chris Lane during Wednesday’s White House briefing.
When asked by Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry about the Chris Lane case, Earnest responded, “I’m not familiar with it, actually.”
Henry explained the case in brief to Earnest looking for reaction to the Oklahoma shooting death of Lane at the hands of “bored” African-American teens who thought it would be “fun” to kill somebody.
“This sounds like a pretty tragic case. I wouldn’t want to get ahead of the legal process here and it’s clear that law enforcement officials are involved and are investigating,” Earnest said. “But any act of violence is something that — the president I think himself has spoken pretty eloquently about violence in our communities and he stood at this podium a few weeks ago where he talked about his concern about the impact that violence is having on, in particular, young people in this country.”
Except he was jogging alone, and they had to follow him in a car to get close enough to shoot him in the back. But I'll take your sarcasm, anyway...
Gee, I sure hope Obama doesn’t get bored. With his toys for thrill, we could all be in a heap o’ danger.
Well, the WH spokesman should be familiar with the murder, this was an Australian citizen gunned down in the streets of the black thug infested USA. How about the State Department, they have anything to say?
He was probably jogging very agressively though...
Earnest...IT’S ONLY AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT, you lying bastard.
This is the equivalent of Sgt. Schultz saying “I know nothing”.
Instead of saying “Not Familiar With” they are basically saying “I got nuthin”. They know, they just ain’t saying.
Good point. This isn’t a local story by any means. It will impact tourism since the victim was from Australia.
Translated: It's a shame when fine, upstanding members of the thug culture face negative consequences for exercising their "diversity."
Our imperial administration is far removed from what takes place in the US.
You have to give the man a break. The White Hut gets their news from MSNBC. If it isn’t there it didn’t happen.
Well, at least the right people are dying/s
This shooting puts a dent in 0bama’s newly announced policy via HUD to forcibly integrate blacks into white communities. 0bama/Holder are laying the groundwork for more ‘jogger shootings’. Their army disguised as ‘bored teens getting their thrills’. The body count adds up, you know..
Exactly.
This harms relations with an ally.
They know about it, they just don’t want to talk about it because it does not fit their script.
I mean, what’s OdumbO even going to say to them? If I had sons they would look like the gangster thugs that murdered your countryman to alleviate their boredom?
Oh Heaven forbid, they do that.
Are we to assume your sarc tag is broken?
Hate them? Hate crime.
Yeah, right. They’re (WH) probably getting prizes ready for the murderers.
That’s an interesting point: why has the Australian PM learned about this, and spoken about it, while the White House has done neither?
