White House declines to apologize to Boy Scouts

White House declines to apologize to Boy Scouts
BY BEN KAMISAR - 07/27/17 03:31 PM EDT

The White House on Thursday declined to apologize to the Boy Scouts after criticism about the political tone of President Trump’s speech at the group’s National Jamboree earlier this week.

When asked if Trump would apologize after the head of the Scouts penned his own letter apologizing for the president’s tone, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders deflected.

“I was at that event and I saw nothing but roughly 40 to 45,000 Boy Scouts cheering the president on throughout his remarks,” she said Thursday at a press briefing.

Too busy holding on to that sweet position to actually think about how fucked up and wrong your boss's address was...in fact, I'd bet you didn't hear it and you couldn't care less!

Does that idiot really think an 11 year old kid understood Trump telling them he was going to kill "this horrible thing known as Obamacare"?

He wouldn't apologize for cold-blooded murder, let alone a demented speech in front of children.
