White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended her decade-long record of voting by absentee mail-in ballot, but attacked efforts to expand absentee ballot access due to coronavirus.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended her record of voting by mail for the past decade, while opposing expanded absentee ballot access.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany holds her first on-camera news conference in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House May 01, 2020 in Washington, DC.WASHINGTON – White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended her decade-long record of voting by mail, arguing Wednesday that her public opposition to expanding mail-in voting for other people is not incompatible with her personal use of mail-in ballots.

McEnany's claim on Wednesday that Democrats want to "expand mass mail-in voting without a reason" ignored the threat of the coronavirus, which has killed about 100,000 Americans in the past four months. In Washington, Republicans have loudly opposed state efforts to expand ballot access by mail in light of the coronavirus threat, and few more so than Trump himself.

When asked how he squared his own practice with his opinion of mail-in voting, Trump replied, "Sure, I can vote by mail. Because I'm allowed to."

An absentee ballot is not the same as mail-in voting.... Try again.... Also the personal attacks on KayleighMcEnany only highlight the weakness of those who spew them.

Republicans are not against some Mail in Voting. We all now know Hillary during 2016 did not get the turnout that Obama did 2008 & 2012. They are deeply concerned with Biden. Democrats prefer a pre-filled form that a Voter simply needs to sign & Mail.

This Barbie is big white liar

Total scumbag

It was easy wasn’t it🤡🤡🤡

Is it possible to talk out of more than two sides of your mouth? Must be! WH staff certainly has figured out how!

Sarah Sanders 2.0 😝😝😝😝

CNBC stick to business as you suck on your politics stories. TY

Strange.

She sweared not lying on her first day. What a joke!

Interesting how much time the Republicans spend on trying to stop voting? Think they are concerned what the majority of Americans would like?

🤣

Absentee ballots are different than mail order politics .. everyone knows that, but let’s just put out click bait to stir the pot

Why? Did she claim it was a blonde thing?

They live in a world where they can do no wrong, and anyone who challenges them or stands against them is the enemy. Today’s lesson in hypocrisy and arrogance

Why are Democrats and the Media for Mail in Votes?

NBC deeds put a paper up saying who above the law and who said so.

Blondes have privileges.

So. Trump STILL rates 42 percent in the polls. NOW we know how many fools live in America.

Foreign adversaries can hack the machines; we have to find a better way than this - not for Dems or Repubs, but for America’s sake

Hypocrisy.

“Without a reason”?!? The risk of deat is the reason you soulless monster. bullshitbarbie

How do you spell hypocrite?

Really...ok for you but not all? Vulnerable to covid19 seems like a good reason to mail it in?

like...oh my god...like...really?

Big difference

So dumb. I still pay my taxes as permitted by law, not a penny more or less regardless of what I think of the policy.

There's a difference between an absentee ballot because you're out of your home area, and mass mailing a paper ballot to every mailbox in the state, where they can be grabbed, filled out and sent in without the intended recipient even knowing.

Typical double standards ... only a Mz. Karen like her would know ...

Stop defending NAZIs. What’s wrong with you people?

KKKayliegh is Russian owned trash. Lock her up.

Don't let Trump cheat the election, Demand Voter ID Laws now.

National cheat by mail will never happen. Be thankful that when Obama had the House and Senate he did nothing except pass the turd known as Obamacare.

Two different situations but the hack media already knows that

She is a fraud so there u go

REQUESTING ABSENTEE VOTING PRIVELEGE - NO PROBLEM. MAILING BALLOTS TO INSECURE ADDRESSES IS QUITE DIFFERENT AND SUBJECT TO FRAUD ON A MASSIVE SCALE. IF THIS IS DONE, THERE WILL BE MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS. THE NEXT ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED BY WHO CHEATS BEST. 😡😡😡

The entire administration is corrupt

Has the GOP spent a lot of time, money, and efforts on rigging the machines?

Nothing wrong with requesting an absentee ballot. But just randomly mailing ballots for ballot harvesting will compromise our elections & develop mistrust in our democratic process

Why do the press even show up for this gaslighting bullshit

who is dumber

Stop putting this Air Head on tv she’s unless and speaking the say bs as the so called president doing
