Earnest: Not 'fair' to compare transcript edit to State Dept. video

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that the omission of two words from a transcript of one of his press briefings in no way compares to a growing scandal at the State Department over the deletion of a whole section of a video dealing with the Iran deal.

Asked why both the White House and State Department appear to have “scratched” sections of public briefings with reporters on the Iran deal, Earnest immediately took exception to the comparison.
