And on the Boy Scouts
Q Since we only have one question, I'm going to ask you about the Boy Scouts --
MS. SANDERS: Make it count.
Q -- their chief wrote this to family members who were at the President's event earlier this week: "I want to extend my sincere apologies to those that are Scouting family who are offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent. We sincerely regret that politics were inserted into the Scouting program." Does the President owe the Boy Scouts an apology?
MS. SANDERS: I was at that event, and I saw nothing but roughly 40,000 to 45,000 Boy Scouts cheering the President on throughout his remarks, and I think they were pretty excited that he was there and happy to hear him speak to them.
Q But the head of the Boy Scouts has acknowledged that there was a problem. A lot of parents have expressed frustration in the wake of those comments and felt the need to actually write a letter about it. So does the President owe them an apology?
MS. SANDERS: Again, I was at that event and heard nothing but a lot of cheering and probably one of the most energetic crowds I've seen in front of the President. And so I don’t have anything to add. I haven’t seen the statement from the Boy Scouts, so I can't comment any further than what I saw firsthand, and that was a lot of individuals, roughly 40,000 to 45,000, as reported, cheering the President on.
