(White House) U.S. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby was asked at a press briefing on Thursday about President Biden's statement that "innocents will die and that this is the price of the war" in Gaza. Q: Don't you think this is insensitive? There has been very harsh criticism about it. For example, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said it was deeply disturbed and called on the President to apologize. Would the President apologize? Kirby: No. Q: Does he regret saying something harsh like that? Kirby: What's harsh is the way Hamas is using people as human shields. What's harsh is taking a couple of hundred hostages and leaving families anxious, waiting, and worrying to figure out where their loved ones are. What's harsh is dropping in on a music festival and slaughtering a bunch of young people just trying to enjoy an afternoon. I can go on and on. That's what's harsh....We know that there are thousands waiting to leave Gaza and Hamas is preventing them from doing it. That is what is harsh." 2023-10-27 00:00:00Full Article
