It's been an honor to serve. And to all those fighting for a better future, I’ll see you on the other side. Thanks. —@joshearnest

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

You are thorough, critical, and most importantly, you persevere. It’s made me a better Press Secretary, and a better public servant.

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

To the press corps, thanks for what you do. Your passion and dedication to your work is critical to the success of American democracy.

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

So it’s been a unique privilege and incredible honor to stand at the podium 345 times and represent a man I knew would change the world.

When you're @POTUS and known as one the most thoughtful and eloquent speakers of all time, it must be hard to watch someone speak for you.

C'mon! I dont want to ruin anyone's reputation - or do anyone that big of a favor! https://t.co/nkN5YYDfjl

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

Would love to! I am fired up about the #Chiefs game on Sunday. If the defense can get some stops, I like their chances, esp at #Arrowhead. https://t.co/QRT2A3mqBf

@PressSec now that u have some time come on my @610SportsKC and let's talk Royals and Chiefs!

1st time I stepped to the podium as @PressSec the briefing ended when someone fainted. Not exactly the auspicious beginning I hoped for! https://t.co/tFhMoDdrCf

Let's be honest: I don't really have any beauty secrets. https://t.co/qQ3WF8BXgv

@PressSec What product(s) do you use in your hair? Not necessarily looking for brand names, just type of product. #POTUSinReview

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

Tues night farewell address in Chicago. Great speech. Great farewell. Great crowd - filled with people with whom I shared this journey. https://t.co/mZMAv4XCcX

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

Tragedy is frequently discussed in the WH briefing room. Part of the job. Every q abt the death of an American hostage was difficult. https://t.co/lANbPp4Gy3

.@ZachZaborny Loved celebrating w #Royals. The pic of Ned, @salvadorperez15 & @TheRealHos35 w/ me at the podium proudly hangs in my office.

The 11 countries who signed TPP with us. The Obama admin got a good deal for US workers but Congress never voted on it. #missedopportunity https://t.co/qjKEQ8jXUp

[Kevin Welsh @kctww]

@PressSec what country do you wish we'd done more work with?

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]

Yep. A pleasure to have a front row seat as @POTUS awarded @VPOTUS the Medal of Freedom. Moving to see his reaction to the surprise up close https://t.co/knHrAv3N0t

@PressSec Were you in on today's Biden surprise?

[J Earnest (Archived) @PressSec44]
