The White House lashed out at congressional Republicans as a party of racists Thursday, calling the GOP defenders of the Confederate flag and silent partners to Donald Trumps Mexican-bashing rhetoric.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest opened his daily press briefing with an unsolicited broadside on Republicans, saying they are out of step with Americans values on race relations and immigration.
He blasted GOP lawmakers as eager to protect the status of the Confederate flag on National Park Service grounds and reminded the public that the third-ranking House Republican, Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, was once described as David Duke without the baggage. Mr. Duke is a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
The White House spokesman also seemingly went out of his way to link the flag issue with Mr. Trump, a leading GOP presidential candidate who is under fire for characterizing many Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug runners.
These are the same congressional Republicans who have declined to criticize the race-baiting rhetoric of a leading Republican presidential candidate, Mr. Earnest said, without mentioning Mr. Trump by name. Thats to say nothing of the Senate Republican [Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas] who saluted that candidate.(continued)

President 0bama is a racist.
They do it pretty quick these days..
One could say that they are out of the closet we tried to put them in back during the Commie cleanup...in the 40s-50s
Got old by Gosh playing the race card pretty heavily this week.
Dang, I actually agree with the White House admin. No true Republican will only Democrats with faux Republican voter cards!!!!
It sounds like he’s drawing up battle lines. You may outnumber us, but everyone on your side is stupid. Hoy do like that notEarnest?
Will people get out to the polls to vote against Trump? Eh, I don’t really see that happening. The whole ‘electrified the liberal base into going out and voting’ meme has been demonstrated to be false time and time again.
Sanders? Clinton? Yeah, I can see people getting out of bed to go vote against either of them.
So all the White House is doing is, well, giving Trump money. I mean, LOTS of money, keeping him in the forefront of the news, pumping up his campaign. Sort of like how golf tournaments are cancelling. Not only do they lose their deposit, but as Trump pointed out, he gets to charge others for greens fees.
Buehler? Buehlar?
Robert Bird? Robert Bird?
Obviously Republican are criticizing Trump.
They always lie.
White House shooting it’s mouth off again ,LOL
What White House injects themselves daily in an opposition party primary? Not even those who are up for reelection. We’re going to be fighting Obama and Clinton for the next 16 months.
Probably most of the useful idiots populating this so-called administration should be arrested for their crimes and exiled. Worthless subhumans.
Just accuse again and again, never wait for the answer.
The White House Of Hate ,trying to spread more hate
Comrade dictator obamna is not qualified to lecture on Trump ethics.
Who is we?
We here at Freerepublic will be fighting Obama, Clinton, AND the GOPe for.the next 16 months!
You are not kidding. I left out our biggest problem...the political class of our own party.
Oh, yeah, you’re right.
This guy's suppose to somehow make a difference? I think not...he's anything but impressive enough to do more than "report"...I never listen to him...
How come Obama White House press secretaries are never “persons of color,” females, homosexuals, transgenders, lesbians, midgets, disabled, mentally challenged or bi-sexuals?
