Just more proof at how Democrats have sold out to Muslim terrorists, because they are so much like Muslim terrorists. According to Obama Press Secretary John Earnest, ‘Radical Islamic Extremism” is nothing more than a Republican talking point. It doesn’t exist or something.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the term “radical Islamic extremism” is a Republican political talking point during an interview on CNN Tuesday.
In the wake of the terrorist attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where the killer pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, the White House and President Obama have still refused to use the phrase, with Obama ridiculing it as Republicans’ sole counterterrorism strategy.
“You want to deal with this problem that happened in Orlando, you want to take it on, then call it what it is. The president’s speech, while seen as effective on many different levels, didn’t move the needle much on Islam, radical Islamic terror,” CNN host Chris Cuomo said. “People still feel he doesn’t say that because he’s afraid of dealing with this problem, that he lacks a fundamental toughness about calling it what it is. He didn’t move the needle on that, Josh, and people even look in Orlando and say, ‘Well, this is a reflection of that weakness as well.’ Fair?”
“Well, no, Chris,” Earnest said. “It’s outrageous, actually. The truth of the matter is, the individuals who spend most of their time talking about radical Islamic terrorism are individuals like Republicans in the Senate who voted against legislation that would prevent those individuals from being able to buy a gun and those are individuals who have not actually put forward their own strategy for keeping the country safe. Using the term ‘radical Islamic extremism’ is not a counterterrorism strategy. It is a political talking point, plain and simple.
