It's exactly what we were talking about -- the two false narratives and the impromptu press conference from Spicer, which is what Chuck Todd was criticizing.
Why argue such a strong stance if you're unfamiliar with the situation?
So a press conference and a day is not enough to have several issues going on? I concentrated on one issue. You can bring up the other all you want. The other one was shit from the press, agreed. This one is shit from the WH, agreed?
You are pressing the other for some "two wrongs make it right"-argument that has no place in that professional environment though. I'm not sure why you think that is acceptable behaviour.
You haven't provided a source for the 250k either, I said I dunno about that, so lets not act like we agreed on that. A quick google only turned a Trump-quote with that number up from me, btw, that said "some network". And iirc the press secretary did not use that number either. So understand my scepticism in throwing that on the whole thing here.
The picture seems pretty real and wasn't contended either.
