re: #296 Dr. Matt

B.S. It doesn’t matter what was said or what wasn’t said, the RW sycophants would have lashed out at this administration. If the POTUS didn’t have a Rose Garden announcement and left it to a Pentagon press release, the right-wingers would have been screeching that the POTUS was hiding, or not forthcoming, or was afraid, etc., etc.,

Agreed, Republicans were going to complain no matter what happened but much of the mainstream criticism probably could have been avoided or at least tempered.
