Does he think her speech last night at the Golden Globes was appropriate, that that ceremony was the appropriate venue to talk about Donald Trump?”
EARNEST: “I haven’t spoken to the President about her speech. I didn’t see her speech but I certainly read about it. It seemed to get plenty of attention. And I think what I can say is she clearly was delivering a thoughtful, carefully considered message that she believes in deeply, and it seemed to me to be a fairly straightforward exercise of her First Amendment rights as a citizen of United States.”
