Greta: Obama Owes Netanyahu Personal Apology for Admin’s ‘Trash Talk’

Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren said tonight that it doesn’t matter who in the White House called Benjamin Netanyahu “chickenshit” and a coward, the fault lies with President Obama and he owes Netanyahu a personal apology for a staffer trash-talking the leader of Israel like that.

Van Susteren said it was insulting for any White House official to be “trash-talking our best ally,” and was shocked that Josh Earnest didn’t bother to apologize, he just said this doesn’t reflect Obama’s views.

Van Susteren also reminded viewers of the time former French President Nicolas Sarkozy told Obama Netanyahu is a liar, and Obama lamented, “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!” She said Obama clearly gave license to officials to trash-talk Netanyahu like this and called on him to personally apologize to the Israeli leader.
