White House Spokesman Is Literally Speechless When Asked About Ben Carson Claim
Yahoo Political News ^ | 11/13 | Sam Levine

Posted on 11/13/2015 1:17:15 PM PST by TangledUpInBlue

hite House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was literally at a loss for words on Friday when asked to comment on reports that Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson would release information proving that China is involved in fighting in Syria.

After White House officials, including National Security Advisor Susan Rice, said Carson's claim was untrue, the GOP presidential candidate said that he had better information than the White House did. He also said that he would make his evidence public this weekend, and that the White House would have a chance to review it then.

Earnest paused for a few seconds but eventually gave up on trying to find the right words.

"Maybe it violates my job description as a spokesman to be speechless, but in this case I am," he said.

See, there's no reason for Trump to go after him. This "evidence" ought to be something.

Apparently the claim is above Joshie’s pay grade.

Carson and the Russian say the Chinese are there. Susan “Bengazi is a reaction to a Utube Video” Rice says the are not.

China's military advisers “heading to Syria to help fight ISIS” report

And the CDS crowd sides with noted liars Rice and Obama!

Since when has the White House ever spoken the truth?

The record of this White House is they will say what ever is the best political answer.

Which is the better political answer for them:

Answer A:

“Yes, the Chinese have forces operating with the Russians in Syria which makes President 0 policy look even more a failure”

Answer B:

“Chinese in Syria, that is crazy talk. There are no Chinese in Syria”

Don’t let your Carson Derangement Syndrome cause you to stake out these sort of foolish potions. These sort of threads merely add to the proof that some of you have given up any contact with reality.

Shhhhh! Even if Dr.Ben does have this info, it is not prudent for him to be using it a speech fodder. Not very discreet, even though I suspect he is correct about China.

This 'evidence' will be convincing for less than an hour.

45 minutes later, everyone will want to see it again.

Rut row....it just occurred to me where Carson may have gotten this supper secret information that will only be released this weekend.

Two options:

1- Carson spent a couple hours in the bathroom like he did when he learned not to be violent with hammers, rocks and knives. After he came out of the bathroom, all was better and he just knew it was bad to be bad.

2- He got it from, well, you know. The guy used to be on Fox with the red phone and now has his own radio show. Just guess who it is. LOL This sounds like one of his shows.

I am looking forward to learning all there is to know about his “evidence”.

When derangement at a candidate causes “Conservative” to side with the Obama regime’s propaganda machine, those
Conservative” should be taking a minute to think about that fact rather then just launching into the next hyperbolic emotion based tirade.

You all need a serious intervention. You are starting to lose your minds.

Well, there you have it! A professional liar says it ain't so. Who would know more about lying?

I can see the Chinese being in Syria. If ISIS leaves Syria and gets onto Russian shores, if ISIS takes a right instead of a left, China isn’t far off.

And Russia doesn’t control those states.

Where’s the deer with the popcorn?

There have been reports of the Chinese bringing some kind of assets to Syria so it’s not something totally tinfoil. The Chinese were in Libya before we reduced it to rubble. Haven’t heard if they moved back in afterwards.

The deer have the popcorn?
