A funny video made the rounds online last night, featuring two groups of Donald Trump supporters: one demanding that vote-counts continue, the other demanding that vote-counts end.
The confusion was amusing, but also understandable. These conservatives are, after all, taking their cues from the president and his team, who are also struggling to keep their stories straight.
This morning, for example, Trump published a tweet that read, “STOP THE COUNT!” (The Republican incumbent apparently doesn’t realize that if all vote-counting were to end immediately, he’d lose the election.) Around the same time, Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News and said largely the opposite: “We can’t wait three hours, three days, three weeks, to get a result in our great, sturdy democracy as to whom the president will be? What is the rush all of a sudden?”
And there’s Kayleigh McEnany, who appears to have White House and Trump campaign roles simultaneously, and who insisted on Fox News this morning that Pennsylvania election officials shouldn’t count ballots that arrive after Election Day, even if the votes were cast legally on Election Day. As the Washington Post noted, McEnany then made the opposite argument — during the same interview — about votes in Arizona.
