White House press secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday blasted the NRA for its video calling President Obama “an elitist hypocrite” for being skeptical of putting armed guards in schools while his daughters receive armed protection every day.
“Most Americans agree that a president’s children should not be used as pawns in a political fight,” Carney said. “But to go so far as to make the safety of the president’s children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly.”
