Welcome to the White House daily Shadow Press briefing. Real reporters ask the questions but we give you the real answers, not the nonsense that comes out of @PressSec mouth. I was tempted to start with a long opening statement today and in the background
2. have playing on a loop the names and faces of the 186K Americans who have died because of Covid-19. To make it real for everyone what the cost of inaction and indifference is and what happens when a President puts his own interests ahead of the American people. But i'm not
3. going to do that today. That's because at least in the shadow briefing room there is still respect for the institution. We believe the briefing room is to keep Americans informed, not play juvenile petty political games. We honor James Brady and the sacrifice he made for
4. country in this room. We don't dishonor it with the kind of garbage that is disseminated daily from others in the Trump White House. With that i'll take you questions. Q. Do you acknowledge that it is illegal in this country to vote twice. A. Well i do, but the President
5. doesn't and i seem to know more about the law than the Attorney General since he said yesterday he'd have to check the state laws. The President knows he cannot win the election if everyone can vote and the votes are counted fairly. So he is trying to degrade the process to
6. hold onto power. Now maybe you could read out to me what the President said and i can repeat exactly what he meant. This is not a creation of the media or taking out of context. It is a deliberate campaign to undermine our democracy and he just might get away with it.
