Perhaps White House press secretary Josh Earnest lost sight of the fact that conservative Americans dominate Twitter.
While it’s a stretch to suggest that Earnest may have tired from taking too many tough questions from the White House press pool, for some reason he thought it would be a good idea to offer social media users the opportunity to ask a question.
Earnest tweeted: “Ready to take your questions today for #AskPressSec, fire away!”

While he deserves props for making the effort, based on some of the responses Earnest may think twice before embarking on this endeavor again.
Here is a sampling of responses as seen on Twitter:

.@presssec Wouldn’t it be easier and more efficient to just GIVE the Iranians a nuke, rather than let them spin in fortified bunker?
