Not true. The Administration’s position as articulated by the State Department is that we are on the side of the Egyptian people and want a peaceful solution. We have been very careful not to support either side—at least publicly.

Our US ambassador to Egypt has said comments that imply Morsi support, reason for the protest signs telling her to get out.

Egyptian activists angry over US envoy's comments

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian anti-government activists denounced the U.S. ambassador in Cairo Friday for a statement in which she criticized street protests as the opposition gears up for mass rallies to demand the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.

The outrage mounted after Ambassador Anne Patterson said in a speech earlier this week that she is "deeply skeptical" that protests will be fruitful and defended U.S. relations with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood as necessary because the group is part of the democratically elected Egyptian government.
