Obama Official: Bergdahl's Platoon Long on Psychopaths?

Wow. That’s as tone-deaf a statement as I’ve ever seen from this White House. Jim Geraghty has more:

Meet Brandon Friedman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; he previously served as Director Online Communications at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He is a veteran; he was as an infantry platoon leader and executive officer in the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division, completing combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2004.
…
Interesting that his comments contend Bergdahl is being smeared, but that he doesn’t seem to see his “long on psychopaths” comment as a smear.

Wouldn’t be too surprising if he was the first — and maybe only — person to lose their job over this.
