White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany insists that Donald Trump wasn’t suggesting voters “do anything unlawful” when he encouraged them to commit a felony by voting twice in November’s election.
Speaking to Fox News this morning, McEnany claimed Trump was simply telling supporters to “verify” that their mail-in ballots were counted by showing up to the polls to vote for him a second time.
Trump made the remarks during local TV interview in North Carolina yesterday, saying, “They will vote and then they are going to have to check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way because if it tabulates then they won’t be able to do that. So let them send it in, and let them go vote.”
He made similar remarks earlier in the day when speaking at a MAGA rally the Wilmington airport, telling the crowd, “If it’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote. If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote. So that’s the way it is. And that’s what they should do.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Speaking to Fox, McEnany said, “The president is not suggesting anyone do anything unlawful. What he said very clearly there is make sure your vote is tabulated and if it is not, then vote.”
Riiiiight.
Just like when he retweeted that white power video, he wasn’t being racist.
Or when he launched an all-out assault on LGBTQ equality at the start of his presidency, he wasn’t being homophobic.
Or how he wasn’t hiding in that bunker, he was just “inspecting” it.
Speaking to reporters at the White House this afternoon, McEnany once again claimed Trump was not encouraging unlawful voting.
“The President’s been very clear about this,” she said, “and once again, I’m not surprised, the media’s taking the President out of context.”
Um, except that he literally told people to try to vote twice.
Watch. Or don’t.
#NEW: WH Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany asked if she believes it’s illegal to vote twice in the U.S.:
“The president does not condone unlawful voting.”

Joking or not, he should be removed and the sooner the better. Once removed start legal proceedings to jail him for the rest of his life. Not just him but his crime family too including the first commie Melania.

He’ll win. Four more years, with him starting a war on his final.

Reminds me of that old adage in Chicago to “vote early and often”…

Remember to always wait for the Trump Translation Team to explain what Trump said.

There needs to be a law that government spokespeople drawing a taxpayer funded salary cannot lie to the country about anything that isn’t classified. They can refuse to answer, or deflect, but a blatant lie should involve a penalty.

I just don’t get how Trump is allowed to say Anything without being censured at all. He needs to be forced into a mental health check broadcast live without interruption so the results can’t be covered up. The man hasn’t been right in the head since day one.

Her idiocy is EPIC.

If this muppet gets back into office then quite frankly America deserves what it gets. Hell even I would vote to get him out if I could.

We all know what we heard Trump say, and that wasn’t it. Where do they get these people who are willing to lie for him?

Welp, just as people started swallowing fish tank cleaners and then bleach upon his command, so too will his moronic minions just vote twice now, forever muddying the results.
And hold no illusions — when this shows up as voter fraud, the GOP will contort it to make it seem as though it’s the Left’s doing.

So, people are to watch out for voter fraud by committing voter fraud?

Republicanism is a cult. I’m sorry to any classic conservatives out there (surprised you’re gonna left-leaning blog, but good on you, I guess), but your party is over. It won’t be able to recover from the stain of this presidency. Go try and join the Libertarians, they might be willing to accept your votes if you leave the cult of personality behind.
