Pence and Priebus defend Trump's claim that millions voted illegally

Donald Trump’s vice-president-elect and his chief of staff on Sunday defended the president-elect’s false claim that millions of people voted illegally in November’s election, saying it was “refreshing” and “possible”.

Hillary Clinton now leads in the popular vote by more than 2.5m ballots. Last weekend, Trump tweeted: “In addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”

Nonetheless Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, told CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday he believed it was possible that millions of people voted illegally, with state officials and nonpartisan election monitors either oblivious or permissive.

“It’s possible,” he said. When host John Dickerson pressed Priebus over Trump’s false claim, he insisted: “I don’t know if that’s not true.”

[CincyDem]

3. Prior to his appearance on CBS, Reince Preibus had unprotected sex with a marsupial. It's a fact !

I'm thinking wombat, maybe tasmainan devil.

I mean, look at the guy. It's possible. I don't know if that's not true.

It fits the new standard definition of a fact - something I don't know to be untrue.

Sheesh these guys are asshats.

[bitterross]

9. It's Possible. I don't know if that's not true.

I can stand that little weasel. I bet he used to get beat up every day after school.

4. We have now established something that

22. Double speak and double think.

And to think,this was coined in 1948.

[.99center]

5. The only thing that can put this to rest

Is a nation wide recount. They owe it to the country, millions of non citizens voted.

What's the harm in Bernie or Warren having a press conference to call for a nation wide recount do to immense concern from the president elect and the green party?

[Mc Mike]

34. Best answer.

Thanks, .99c.

[kebob]

[dhill926]

8. prove it...let's see some data....

assholes....

[murielm99]

10. They're getting worried about the recounts.

They know their own fraud will be uncovered, so they are projecting.

[benld74]

11. THATS what is needed STILL,,more GOP on FTN after this fiasco of an election

[Paladin]

12. Prove it, assholes. (nt)

[The Wizard]

13. Normal people don't care

what Republicans have to say unless it's under oath, and even then no one believes them.

[Vinca]

14. If we take them at their word, that means we require a recount in ALL states.

[The Wizard]

15. Some people say

there are pictures of Priebus and Pence ass raping a rabid hyena.

[lastlib]

20. See #17. It wasn't a hyena, either.

[LisaL]

16. And if Trump tweets that water is dry, they will defend that too.

We don't know that water isn't dry.

[Third Doctor]

21. They hope that if they lie enough it wil be perceived as the truth

Trumpanzees already believe it but more rational people will not.

[Solly Mack]

Proving that Priebus loves him some fake news.

[Feeling the Bern]

[Blue Idaho]

26. Dear Pence and Penis...

27. They're telegraphing what they intend to do: make it very difficult for anybody of color

to vote.

[6000eliot]

28. They will use this shit to further infringe on voters' rights.

Bank on it.

[brooklynite]

29. Clearly the GOP Congress should hold hearings...

...and every Secretary of State should be required to state under oath how many voter fraud cases they've identified.

[beaglelover]

30. What the hell is going on in this country? It's getting damn scary that facts don't

matter anymore. Our media need to grow a set and challenge these assholes promoting fake news. Quit being so nice!

[Sunlei]

36. Clinton won the popular vote by close to 3 million. Republicans have to lie bigger now.
