Here it is, straight from the Fox's mouth:
Presidential counselor Dan Bartlett said the GOP counteroffensive against the Democrats' claims will continue.
"There's a bright line there that the Democrats have crossed. They have no facts on their side," Bartlett said while traveling with the president.
He said the administration to (sic) push back "will be sustained" because "in the last couple of weeks it ("it" meaning critic's claims of twisted or "cherry-picked" intelligence) has reached a critical mass and we felt it was important to respond." link follows:
