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

Posted on 10/19/2016 12:08:06 PM PDT by Raebie

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.”

Has anyone heard if there was supposed to be a new Veritas video today? I was under the impression he had one per day.

It’s infuriating that the slimy little Josh can claim that the O’Keefe projects haven’t been what they appeared. Name one, you twerp! They have been ignored by the sycophantic media, that’s for sure, but it doesn’t make them for that reason any less valid.

From the article:
"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.”

..."If you like your health care plan, you can keep it"...

Nuff said.

WHAT!!?? He didn’t claim you would go to jail if you watched the videos? He didn’t claim that only CNN is allowed to watch them?

So, Obama, how come these two scumbags resigned? Why were they at the White House 300+ times?

First he says there’s nothing there. Then he ends it with “We don’t need that sort of thing.” I guess he meant to Say “We don’t allow that kind of thing that you saw with your own eyes on video.”

Reporters are asking about this? From the MSM? That’s kind of hard to believe.... they’re usually butt kissers.

Be careful that you don’t believe your lyin’ eyes. Trust Obama instead.

I cannot understand how anybody can stand that smug trick Obama does, with that condescending smile, then accuses the victims of his lies, like with vote fraud of whining, and it is so obvious he is lying.

He was a communist agitator/community organizer ACORN operative who probably stuffed a few ballot boxes himself.

He is an evil jacka$$, and let there be no question here: this is a battle between good and evil. Obama got elected because our nation is spiritually sick.

Pray for Trump and our once great nation.

Hmmm, Terrorism is defined as: the use, or the threatened use, of violence to obtain a political goal.

Is it any wonder that the Administration feels it the need to distance itself from Hilary's actions?

I have a question for Josh Ernest. Do you even remember the first time you sold out?
