From bad to much worse.
Via Beltway Confidential:
Representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood met with “mid-level” White House officials, not “lower-level” as President Obama’s spokesman said yesterday, who again reminded reporters that Republican senators have also met with the Muslim Brotherhood.
“They are mid-level members of directorates at the National Security Council,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters today. Yesterday, he confirmed that “lower-level officials here at the NSC did have meetings with them.”
“It’s a fact that Egypt’s political landscape has changed and the actors have become more diverse,” Carney said, explaining the decision to host the Muslim Brotherhood. “The point is that we will judge Egypt’s political actors by how they act, not by their religious affiliation.”
