A senior White House aide said Thursday he had seen “no evidence” to confirm a report that rescued Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl converted to Islam, fraternized with the Taliban, and declared jihad during nearly five years of captivity.

“We have seen no evidence of that,” deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken told CNN when asked about a Fox News report about Bergdahl’s conduct while imprisoned by the Taliban.

The present administration is composed entirely of congenital liars and idiots.

Lacking the ability to see the obvious, Obama does what comes natural.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Some people will never be convinced.

If we have reached the point where a large minority, even 30-40% don't care that the White House has zero credibility, the republic is finished.

[mom.mom]

Yeah really. We pay these idiots to actively not know what is going on.

[04-Bravo]

The White House should just go ahead and hire Baghdad Bob as their spokesman.

“We have seen no evidence of that,”

Diplo weasel words - it depends on how you define "We" and "Seen" and "Evidence"

[SkyDancer]

With them, just saying it makes it true.

[SparkyBass]

worked with Talibin? Sure.
sympathized with Taliban? Yeah.
planned jihad with Taliban? Duh.
converted to islam with Taliban? Well, obviously.

But No way did he fraternized with Taliban!

Stevie Wonder has seen no evidence ...

Good one

There has been information out there for YEARS indicating Bergdahl may have deserted...it’s not like people are only saying it now that he’s been released in a bad swap.

[jhroberts]

It is ridiculously easy to claim that you have not seen any evidence when you refuse to look at intelligence reports indicating that the anti-American Bergdahl is at best a deserter and at worse a traitor.

[silverleaf]

O my, Tony Blinken and the mouse in his pocket must not have got access to intelligence reports dating back to 2008...so sad when such a high ranking official and his pet are so out of the loop. They don’t even let him watch CNN

[silverleaf]

“Are the taliban lying?”

We have reached the point of idiocy where the Taliban appear more believable than the potus and his minions

[morphing libertarian]

The lie of the day list keeps getting longer

[onedoug]

Their word is valueless.

[morphing libertarian]

Giving carney and Baghdad bob a fun for their money

[morphing libertarian]

And a run also
