He’s right! The woman on the far left – her facial expressions speak for the entire world. Have another look…

Twitter to relaunch and rename itself as "WHO SAID THE STUPIDEST THING TODAY. WAIT, YOU'RE WRONG. LOOK AT THIS."

And then, with a grim sense of inevitability, a clarification to the clarification.
WH just sent out an updated clarification from Spicer, changing “innocent people” to “population centers” at the end.
