The White House’s deputy press secretary today downplayed Muslim attacks on Christians in Egypt, joking about the savagery that has left at least six Christians dead.

Press secretary Josh Earnest was asked by Fox News’ correspondent, Ed Henry, if President Barack Obama has a “red line” beyond which he would act against Muslim attacks on Egyptian Christians.

“Well, I didn’t bring my red pen out with me today,” Earnest joked.

After making his joke, Earnest said the administration is “outraged… and concerned” about the Muslim attacks on almost 100 churches, monasteries, orphanages and other marked Christian sites. Many Christians’ shops and homes have also been looted and burned by mobs.

But Earnest didn’t name or criticize the attackers, even though he did charge the military with perpetrating “violence… against peaceful protestors.”

[American Constitutionalist]

The scumbags installed into the current US government regime have absolutely NO respect for Christian human life.

There now, fixed.

[blueyon]

What a PIG he is.........to joke about a red line and killing of Christians

[CodeToad]

When will Congress impeach? I swear not a single incumbent will be getting my vote from now on in any election.

[NativeSon]

C’mon, this is a non-issue, and the Muslims murdering Christians is funny, just like it’ll be hoot when Americans torch Muslim churches with Muslims inside...

[freeangel]

I heard hussein was passing out candies for every new Christian death he hears about. Double if it was a woman or child.

[hadaclueonce]

maybe, just maybe, the crusades was the right thing?

I mean, they did not have the MSM or PC back then.

Hey come on - if 6 black children were killed in Birmingham Alabama - I'm sure Josh Earnest would have made the same joke... it's funny - dead Christian jokes rock - lighten up. /s

Hence his push for gun control and support of the UN Small Arms Treaty.

That's what all the gun control is about .

That's what the immigration bill with entry quotas for a bunch of muslims is all about (the Mexicans are just cover for an invasion )

That's what Obamacare is all about - a tax on all NON MUSLIMS that encourages stupid young people who do not believe in anything to become a muslim to not have to pay it

The scumbags installed into the current US government regime have absolutely NO respect for human life.

No respect for life, God, or man --except for one man. Karl Marx. How bizarre is that?

From the same outfit that, only a few weeks ago, called the Baghdad bombers “enemies of Islam.”

.....Except that Americans are ARMED to the teeth that is why.

[Biggirl]

Many Americans will not comply with any UN law or treaty. They will simply keep their guns.

I’ll be here all week, and two shows on Saturday. Try the meatloaf.

[sgtyork]

Fn guy

[I want the USA back]

When the top guy is outraged he shows it. He didn’t show any outrage over his buddies killing Christians and attacking churches because he favors it.

[Venturer]

Obama thinks more of his new dog than he does of Christians.

[LibLieSlayer]

JESUS will smite this evil in HIS time.

[itssme]

Who is this little sh*t Ernst or Ernest or whatever? Someone needs to slap some respect into him.

[GailA]

[bayouranger]

“Earnest joked.”
