Fox Host Calls Out Press Sec’s Vote-By-Mail Double Standard: ‘Why Is It OK For You To Do It?’

Fox News host Ed Henry pressed White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany to explain on Thursday why it was kosher for her to vote-by-mail no less than 11 times in the past decade while President Donald Trump demands the average voter be prohibited from doing the same.

Because she’s below average?

Because “fuck you!” that’s why. Isn’t that pretty much the attitude everyone in the Trump administration has toward any difficult question? All of their standards are double standards. Any concern for that is a sign of weakness in their minds.

“So why is it okay for you to do it?” the Fox News host asked. “I understand you’re traveling and you’re in a different city, but how can we be assured that your votes were counted accurately, but when other people do it, it’s fraud?”

McEnany argued that Americans are “absolutely entitled to request an absentee ballot and to cast your ballot by mail” if they’re “working out of state not brown” and their “domicile is in a different state the correct zipcode.”

“I will never lie to you. You have my word on that”.

So the standard is, it’s fine when it’s just rich people who move around a lot. Fraud could never happen with them. Only if we let poor people in blue and purple states vote by mail. Then it’s subject to fraud. I guess that’s because reasons?

“I’m entitled to that…"
Kind says it all, I just surprised she didn’t say, “look at me, I’m blond and I’m white, so there”!

It’s pretty simple: we are “entitled” to mail in ballots because we don’t cheat. You are not entitled to a mail in ballot because you cheat. It’s the same reason why we get a $500 billion corporate welfare slush fund with no oversight and you get a few crumbs, $1,200.

If she was really being honest, here answer would be something like “We want to block this to keep non-Trump voters from being able to vote…for voters who want to vote for Trump we’ll let them do whatever it takes to get their vote in.” It’s really what they mean when they say absentee ballots are just fine for them but that awful mail in ballot just can’t be allowed.

Her predecessor didn’t actually say anything. That means she never lied on camera.

“If your domicile is in a different state, you are absolutely entitled to request an absentee ballot and cast your ballot by mail. I am entitled to that.”

The wealthy white woman is so funny, thinking that voting is an entitlement.

I never would have expected that.

Then again, this is what can happen when Republicans are in charge of getting important items in the mail…

Fraud never ever happens with rich white folk. Milken. Lay and Mozzilo were all poor black folks.
