Jay Carney Press Briefing, Benghazi

Jay Carney just gave a master class on how to implode during a White House press briefing.



Watch video of Carney's May 10, 2013, press briefing here.

Reaction:

Carney failing to reconcile his claim that WH made one "stylistic" change w/wholesale rewrite reporters see with their own eyes. #Benghazi

Carney basically is saying the CIA did the typing: "The CIA wrote another draft" - after getting input from other agencies.

Time Magazine reporter Jay Carney would have been the 1st person to object to how the WH is handling the press today.

CNN's @jimacostacnn: "These are not stylistic edits, Jay." #Benghazi

Carney says efforts to "politicize tragedy" can be traced back to Romney

It's obvious these White House reporters didn't hear Greg Hicks say on Weds. "I talked to Hillary at 2 a.m. and told her this was an attack"

In response to Q, Carney says he spoke of video because he was working from same #Benghazi talking points as Rice. Video wasn't mentioned.
