Jay Carney Mocks Jonathan Karl Instead of Answering Questions
Truth Revolt ^ | 11/4/2013

Posted on 11/05/2013 2:51:03 AM PST by markomalley

Jay Carney openly mocked ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl today after a series of increasingly heated questions over deceptive statements made by Carney about the methods in which one can enroll in Obamacare.

The Blaze's Becket Adams noted some of the back and forth:

The discussion became charged when Karl repeatedly asked Carney to explain President Barack Obama’s claim that Americans need not worry about the faulty healthcare.gov website because they can always enroll through phone or paper applications.

"I’m going to go back to what the President said, he said you can bypass the website, and apply by phone or in person, and it could be done in 25 minutes, but these memos say that ‘at the end of the day, we are all stuck in the same queue, we all have to go through the same portal,’” said Karl.

After a summary of what Karl believed to be a litany of deceptions perpetrated by Carney himself, Carney snapped:

I get it, John

Karl acknowledged the slight but didn't let up:

You're mocking is entertaining but the President said you could apply within 25 minutes. That was not true.

Wonder if they’ve revoked his press pass and credentials and given his desk in the WH press room to Daily Kos yet?

I do hope Jonathan Karl’s finances are in order for his coming IRS Audit, and that he has no incriminating texts or conversations on his NSA cell-phone records.

They deserve to be mocked the lapdogs are late to the fight. They are just as deceitful as President Pinocchio and his minions.

I hate to suggest this...and I’ll probably get flamed....but there is this little observation.

It’d be actually easier and cheaper to get healthcare....just by packing up and moving to Germany or France....getting citizenship, learning French, moving into some cottage by a vineyard, getting a French license, and marrying some French gal.

You could save off all that health insurance costs....deductible costs....issues finding doctors and hospitals to accept the stupid package...and avoid wasting so much precious personal time in this mess.

Yeah, just move to France....that’s the solution.

I believe that European-americans should all seriously consider repatriating back to the “old” country, leaving the USA to the non whites.

Carney is the thinnest-skinned Press Secretary I’ve seen in my lifetime. You poke him even a little bit, and he comes unglued.

It would probably be easier, but not cheaper. You’ll be paying three-quarters of your income for everybody’s free health care.

I believe I will stay and stand and fight when the time comes.

And that time will come. It may start small and may be extinguished but it will come.

Everyone has their choice. May I suggest you take your white flag with you because you may need them to show the Mooslims over there.

What a ugly twerp Carney is! Only Obama would give this worm the job as his spokesman.

I never liked this little weasel before he became a lead liar for the Administration but, I think he may be the worst press secretary in my lifetime.

If you emigrate to France, leave your guns behind. No guns for non-citizens living there.

No worries. I have zero desire to move to France.

Just kidding, who would want to move to France, other than muzzies, & American liberals with cottage cheese for brains?

the most telling part of that is the expression on the face of Mara Liasson who was seated behind Karl. She was aghast at the questioner, not Carney who has been lying for years.

I think he is worse than both of these people. Carney’s “deer in the headlights” look makes him look totally dishonest and I am never convinced that he even believes his own lies.
