HEADS UP: @PressSec briefing (seriously) at 5:15, per pooler @brittanys
Two minutes or less to go.
NOW: @PressSec delivers "message on behalf of the entire White House" — "The violence we saw yesterday at our nation's capitol was appalling reprehensible and antithetical to the American way. We condemn it the President and this administration and the strongest possible terms."
.@PressSec mistakenly calls her lectern a podium
"What we saw yesterday was a group of violent rioters undermining the legitimate first amendment rights of the many thousands who came to peacefully have their voices heard in our nation's capital," @PressSec says.
"Those who are working in this building are working to ensure an orderly transition of power. Now it is time for America to unite to come together to reject the violence that we have seen. We are one American people, under God," @PressSec says before fleeing the briefing room.
I have no idea what the hell that was all about.
