W.H. Calls N.C. Transgender Policy ‘Mean-Spirited,’ But No Update on Transgenders in Military

REPORTER: "Josh, the New York Times editorial board last week published a piece saying the U.S. military's review of the transgender military service has stalled, and the time has come for the ban to be lifted. Is the president satisfied by the pace at which that review is being conducted?"
EARNEST: "I haven't gotten an update on that -- on that ongoing process, but I'd encourage you to check with the Department of Defense. Obviously, Secretary Carter has made a pretty forceful statement in terms of the kinds of values that he believes should be embodied in military policy."
