The White House has finally responded to the Garland Islamo-Nazi terrorist attack, condemning the ‘extremists’ with no mention of Islam or even ISIS:
DALLAS MORNING NEWS – The White House refrained Monday from condemning the Prophet Mohammad cartoon contest that provoked an attack Sunday night in Garland that left two gunmen dead.
“There is no act of expression, even if it’s offensive, that justifies an act of violence,” press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One as the president flew to New York for fund-raising and a TV appearance with David Letterman.
“The president was informed last night of the violence outside Dallas,” Earnest said, condemning “extremists” who have responded with violence after expressions they find offensive. “We have seen extremists try to use expressions that they considered to be offensive as a way to justify violence not only in this country but around the world, and in the mind of the president there is no form of expression that would justify an act of violence.”
He referred to attacks in this country and abroad, a reference to the January attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which had published Muhammad cartoons, that left 12 dead.
President Obama remains in touch with aides for ongoing updates on the investigation into the Garland event and the suspects.
He also lauded the police response.
“We saw a pretty important and notable display of bravery on the part of first responders and …because of their courage the only person that was injured by these gunmen was a security officer,” he said.
Obama also responded to the event this way:
Oh right, that was Obama at the U.N. in 2012. My bad.
