Josh Earnest: Planned Parenthood Videos ‘Fraudulent’
Roll Call ^ | 7/30/15 | Steven Dennis

Posted on 07/30/2015 6:13:49 PM PDT by markomalley

Strong words today from the White House over those Planned Parenthood videos showing officials with the nation’s leading abortion provider discussing the sale of aborted body parts. But not for Planned Parenthood.

Press Secretary Josh Earnest called the release of the videos “fraudulent,” later clarifying that he was relying on public statements from Planned Parenthood when he made that charge, as well as other critics of the videos by The Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group.

“There’s ample reason to think that this is merely the tried and true tactic that we have seen from extremists on the right to edit this video and selectively release and edited version of the video that grossly distorts the position of the person who is actually speaking on the video,” Earnest said.

Those videos have revived the GOP’s longstanding efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, but Earnest repeated that the White House opposed such efforts but did not issue a formal veto threat.

“The president will not support another effort by Republicans to try to defund an organization that offers important and needed health care services for millions of women across the country,” he said.

As for the videos themselves, Earnest again said he doesn’t know if President Barack Obama has seen the videos but said he’s read stories about them.

The videos are online unedited. The liberal media are the ones doing the editing

Yep, the administration is carrying the water for Planned Parenthood. I wonder how many RINO’s are involved?

Good to see that ex Saddam spokesmen in the media have a place in the western world.

This was Baghdad Bob right?

There’s no evidence that the videos are fraudulent, Soylent Josh.

Where’s your evidence?

Show it, or shut up.

You’d have to be totally soulless to get on camera and do this turd of a president’s lying for him.

They’re selling baby parts, and we’re the “extremists”.

Waiting for a statement from the WH...

The President will not support any efforts to overburden or defund any organization that provides much needed healthcare to millions of women across the nation. Catholic Health system and Baptist Healthcare will be defended by this administration.

Still waiting...

And - still waiting...

In other words, Josh is saying that the evil people who were filmed on the video saying exactly what they were saying weren’t really on the video saying exactly what they were saying.

And when it’s all said and done, no matter what is said by josh earnest and the rainbow hut, they’re still aborting babies, ghoulishly dissecting them, and trafficking in body parts.

I sense blood in the water. This is how they all end (badly) make accusations of being framed. I can hear those butchers in prison now: “but I’m innocent, those videos were fakes.” The big fat thirsty one, “that’s what they all say.”

Yes, because all those Planned UnParenthood officials didn't actually say those things on camera.
