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.
