Earnest Looks Back at His Time as Press Secretary: It Has ‘Been an Extraordinary Journey’

EXCERPT:

EARNEST: “I had no relevant Washington experience. I was sleeping on the floor of a college buddies apartment that had a spare bedroom, and by spare I don’t just mean it was an extra bedroom, it was an empty bedroom containing only the items that I had managed to load into my car when I moved here from Texas. So it’s fair to say that there were too many other people on the tour that night who thought I would stand here in front of you as something other than a tourist. So it’s been an extraordinary journey, and this has been an extraordinary chapter. This is the 354th White House daily briefing that I have led as the press secretary. Mark can check me on that number."
