Former George W. Bush communications chief Nicolle Wallace tore apart former DNC Chairman Howard Dean, calling his assertion that the CIA's interrogation methods maker America less great "asinine" and "dangerous."
"I think months after 9/11 there were three people who we thought knew about imminent attacks, and we did whatever we had to do, and I pray to God that until the end of time we do whatever we have to do to find out what's happening," Wallace said on Tuesday's Morning Joe. "And the notion that this somehow makes America less great is asinine and dangerous."
Wallace also slammed White House Spokesman Josh Earnest for failing to admit that the CIA's interrogation techniques did not yield information instrumental in finding and killing Osama bin Laden.
"I have never felt more frustrated with this White House's inability to speak clearly than I was yesterday when Jon Karl was pushing Josh Earnest to say whether Obama found the information gleaned helpful in killing bin Laden," Wallace said.
"That's what this is about... The notion that what we do affects the behavior of terrorists is a lie. It's a lie perpetrated by political correctness and by liberals and it's dangerous."
