Jay Carney: ‘I Won’t Dignify’ Dennis Rodman’s Outburst With a Response

‘I don’t know whether I could assess whether it’s hurtful or not. What I know is what our position is’

CARNEY: "Look, our position on Mr. Bae is what it was and we want to see him released. We remain gravely concerned about his health and continue to urge North Korean authorities to grant him amnesty and immediate release. And that pursuit continues regardless of what's happening with this visit."

CARNEY: "I don't know whether I could access whether it's hurtful or not. What I know is what our position is, and I'm not going to address the assertions made in the interview because they don't merit one -- a response or a comment. We believe he needs to be released and granted amnesty."
