White House silent on Weiner staying in NYC race

Should former congressman Anthony Weiner stay in the New York City mayoral race?

The White House won't touch that question with a ten-foot pole.

A reporter raised the issue at the daily briefing, asking spokesman Josh Earnest whether President Barack Obama had expressed any view on whether Weiner should quit.

"Not one that I've heard," Earnest replied.
