Jake Tapper Confronts White House Press Secretary over Hoffa’s “SOB” Attack on Tea Party; White House Won’t Disavow; Tapper Asks if this is the New Standard – Video 9/6/11
Still no disavowal by the Obama White House of Teamsters President James Hoffa Jr.’s attack on the Tea Party and Congressional Republicans yesterday, where he told the crowd at an Obama Labor Day Rally, “Let’s take these son of a bitches out.”
ABC News’ Jake Tapper pressed the issue with White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who just blew it off. Jake Tapper destroyed Carney, by reminding him that Sen. Barack Obama expected an apology from John McCain when someone who spoke at one of his rally’s used Obama’s middle name – “Hussein” – which Obama used himself when sworn in as President (Tapper did not give all those details). But Tapper finished by telling Carney that it appears the standard now is that what surrogates of a candidate or those introducing a candidate say is of no importance any longer – only what the candidate says. Carney knew he was cornered and just refused to answer.
