White House Urges ‘Extreme Caution’ To Viewers of Project Veritas Videos
Breitbart ^ | October 19, 2016 | Charlie Speirling

The Obama administration warns that Americans and journalists should be skeptical of material coming from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. During the White House press briefing, press secretary Josh Earnest warned that Americans and journalists should take Project Veritas videos “not just with a grain of salt but maybe even a whole package of salt.”

“Despite what the name might suggest, these videos have not often revealed the truth,” Earnest said, though he admitted that many Democrats had been forced out of their jobs as a result of O’Keefe’s work.

Robert Creamer, a top Democratic operative featured in the video, stepped down from his position after he admitted in the video that he was actively trying to incite violence at opposing political rallies.

Earnest said that he was “reluctant” to comment on the videos themselves, but talked about the topic of “birddogging” opposing rallies.

In general, Earnest said, the notion of inciting violence in an opposing candidate’s campaign was contrary to Obama’s views of community organizing.

“We shouldn’t have to resort to violence and in fact it is completely inappropriate to resort to violence to advance a political goal,” he said, calling it a principle that President Obama “strongly believed in.”

Good...now more people will watch it out of curiosity. You can’t call them lies if they’re actual recorded statements. The dumb will refuse to believe but they’re not going Trump anyway.

I wonder if it’s illegal to have views the video?

‘Extreme caution’?

Maybe we ought to use about as much ‘caution’ with this as “Obozo” supporters used when they voted for him.

Ya think!

“How come Robert Creamer visited the White House 340 times including 40 personal meetings with President Obama”?

They asked that very question. Read the article.

Foval visited a few times, too. They need to ask about THAT! And especially about the one Foval/Creamer joint meeting with Obama in 2013.

Yeah, right! That’s why the people in the videos are resigning and getting canned.

Believe NOTHING coming out of this administration!

Earnest said, the notion of inciting violence in an opposing candidate’s campaign was contrary to Obama’s views of community organizing.

Obama: "I want you to argue with them and get in their face.“

Obama: "If they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun"

Ummm... Mr. Ernest... it most certainly IS NOT contrary to Obama's views on community organizing.

The left always attacks the messenger, and tries to deflect attention away from their corruption.

I have the feeling the questions have just begun. If it’s being asked in press conferences, it will have to be covered.
