    Leavitt claimed “the president was simply joking.”

    “He was saying, we’re doing such a great job, we’re doing everything the American people thought, maybe we should just keep rolling. But he was speaking facetiously,” she added.

    Another reporter chimed in, asking whether Trump “finds the idea of canceling elections funny.”

    Leavitt, who claims she was a witness to the interview, went on the attack toward the reporter.

    “I was in the room, I heard the conversation, and only someone like you would take that so seriously and pose a question that way,” she said.

    Keep asking, reporters. Keep asking them if this isn’t stealing an election. Ask them if they are chicken. Ask them what kind of chicken they represent. Ask them how badly they think they’d get beaten at the ballot box and why they have to resort to this. Don’t give up. Please.

    This administration thrives on the quick dismissal. Once it works, they take real action. It is extremely important that this does not leave public consciousness.

    Just like Epstein and a bunch of other shit they have stacked up.

    Don’t they know the rules by now? Whether or not Trump is joking is determined only by what’s convenient after the fact.
