The CNN host asked, "Josh, when you talk about countering the message, you keep using the word violence. I mean, this is an act of terrorism, that's what the president of France called it -- an act of terrorism. You're referring to ISIS and other bad actors, it doesn't really matter who it is at the end of the day. You know you're fighting a very large group of people of somewhat similar concern. Do you see this as an act of terrorism, and is this something that has to be condemned on that level?"
"Based on what we know right now it does seem that's what we're confronting here. And this is an act of violence that we certainly do condemn, and if based on this investigation it turns out to be an act of terrorism, then we would condemn that in the strongest possible terms, too," said Earnest.
"I mean, look, this is again based on the very preliminary information that we have, this isn't just an attack as you point out, Chris, on the people of France and on innocent civilians. This is an attack on some of the basic values that we hold dear here in this country and basic values of freedom of speech and freedom of expression and the free press that is also held dear by our allies in France. So this is something we take seriously and that we condemn, like I said, in the strongest possible terms."

He probably won’t give it back. We’ll have to take it back. God helps those who help themselves.
Probably because he got a call from the French government...Obama’s refusal to call it terrorism at first was tweeted all over the place, and the French were stunned and angered.
So True!
The French already have called it terrorism.
What a sniveling, disgusting POS occupies our nation’s White House...
When the French think you’re a wuss, that’s saying something.
Something has changed in this attack, they attacked then left, not suicide mission. They live to fight another day.
Wouldn’t be surprised.
He was questioned about the change in language and just said that the details are still being revealed , investigated, blah,blah,blah
civil war = civil insurrection = felonious disobedience = malicious activity
He must have read Drudge.
12 KILLED AT PARIS HUMOR MAG
THAT RAN MUHAMMED CARTOONS
TWEETED ISIS JOKE HOUR BEFORE ATTACK
VIDEO: ‘ALLAHU AKBAR!’
‘WE HAVE AVENGED THE PROPHET!’
Reverse the situation and have it occur over here and it would be terrorism and blamed on patriots and later found to be a false flag event perpetrated by the WH to get more LIVs in the voting booths in November and create more rioting and division to martial law could be declared to extend his presidency...
A Gideon moment would sure be nice about now...
Amen
Bitter clingers…clinging to their kalashnikovs, their I.E.D.s their qurans.
Fislam
FUBO…POSOTUS

Right, call them ISLAMIC TERRORISTS. We all know Islamic Terrorists gonna do what Islamic Terrorists do!
Yep. In so many words.
I guess “workplace violence” just wouldn’t fly.
This is just an Active Shooter incident. Workplace violence happens all the time.
