White House: GOP to blame for cyberinsecurity

The White House is blaming Republicans for failing to do everything they can to help the U.S. government protect the nation from cyberattacks, in the wake of new FBI evidence that foreign hackers penetrated two state election databases in recent weeks.

“What’s true is that President Obama has made cyber-security a national priority … I think there are significant concerns being raised about whether Republicans in Congress have made it a priority,” presidential press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.
