Carney: The Facts Evolved, Still Blames The Video for Libya

Apparently, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney doesn't understand what the definition of  a "fact" is. Carney told the White House Press Corp today that President Obama said the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was a terrorist attack. This is simply false. President Obama has refused to classify the murder of four Americans in Libya a terrorist attack and initially blamed a YouTube video for the violence. Carney continued to push the false idea the attack in Libya was a reaction to a video today, despite the video having absolutely nothing to do with the attack. Carney was defensive when questioned about President Obama's priorities and efforts to address the situation in Libya, after all, one day after the attack occured on September 11, Obama jetted off to Las Vegas for a campaign fundraiser.
