Gibbs mocks RNC

When asked about the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) plans to pass a resolution renaming the Democratic Party, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs had a chuckle and more than an ounce of sarcasm.

“I would say given the challenges they face… that’s the exact same way I would be using my time too,” Gibbs said.

Gibbs was responding to an item reportedly on the agenda of next week’s RNC meeting to rename the “Democratic Party” as the “Democrat Socialist Party.”
