President Obama called California Attorney General Kamala Harris on Thursday night to apologize for referring to her as the "best looking" attorney general.
"He called her to apologize for the distraction created by his comments, and they are old friends and good friends, and he did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general's professional accomplishments and her capabilities," Carney said.
"He fully recognizes the challenges women continue to face in the workforce and that they should not be judged based on appearance," Carney added.
