This is really important stuff. Glad they cleared that up…
Via Breitbart:
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest weighed in on the news that Jon Stewart had decided to leave The Daily Show.
“We will certainly be sad to see him go,” Earnest said, admitting that he was a “fan” and “occasional victim” of Stewart, calling him a “talented guy.”
“He is somebody who brought a unique perspective to comedy and even to informing the public about what was happening in their country,” Earnest said. “He’s a really talented guy and as others have noted this is probably not the last we’ve heard of Jon Stewart and I certainly hope that’s the case.”
In December, Stewart targeted Earnest, ridiculing him for his defense of President Obama’s appointment of soap opera producer Colleen Bradley Bell as an ambassador to Argentina.
