At the White House Press Briefing this afternoon, Press Secretary Josh Earnest responded to Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) who criticized the administration’s response to Ebola during a congressional hearing today.
Braley, now running for Senate in Iowa against Republican candidate Joni Ernst, flew to Washington, D.C. to participate during the hearing today.
Earnest praised Braley for speaking his mind–even though he was criticizing the Obama administration’s response.
Earnest admitted that even the White House has acknowledged that there have been shortcomings in the federal government’s response to the Ebola crisis.
