Trump brings up vote fraud again, this time in meeting with senators. The revival of the fraud claim is a sign that President Donald Trump, who lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, continues to see himself as a victim of massive fraud. Kelly Ayotte, who lost her reelection bid in November and is now working for Trump as a Capitol Hill liaison, or “sherpa,” on the nomination of Judge Gorsuch. The president claimed that he and Ayotte both would have been victorious in the Granite State if not for the “thousands” of people who were “brought in on buses” from neighboring Massachusetts to “illegally” vote in New Hampshire. According to one participant who described the meeting, “an uncomfortable silence” momentarily overtook the room. Hillary Clinton narrowly won New Hampshire’s four electoral votes over Trump by nearly 3,0. Ayotte’s margin of defeat was even slimmer: 7. When we first moved here, I joined the local quilt guild. It wasn't a good fit. I'm not saying it was all them. I often don't fit in well with groups. All Are Welcome. Decree from Bishop David Michael O'Connell, C.M., DD, JCD. Whatever your present status in the Catholic Church, whatever your current family or. ![]() ![]() The former senator could not be reached for comment Friday, but a GOP source familiar with the meeting noted that Trump also thanked Ayotte twice during the meeting for agreeing to serve as a congressional emissary for Gorsuch. Trump also teased Ayotte, who distanced herself from him last summer after he attacked the parents of a Muslim Gold Star soldier for criticizing him during the Democratic National Convention, saying that he wished she'd worked to help his campaign the way she was working to help Gorsuch. Elizabeth Warren being silenced on the Senate floor while trying to read a 1. Coretta Scott King and in objection to Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions before he was confirmed as attorney general. According to participants in Thursday’s meeting, Trump referred to Warren several times as “Pocahontas,” the moniker he gave her during his campaign, and told the Democrats he was glad Warren is becoming the face of “your party.”His persistent and unfounded fraud claim is a sign that Trump, who lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, continues to see himself as a victim of widespread voter fraud. Just days after taking office last month, Trump tweeted a claim that as many as 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally in the November election, enough to account for his popular vote deficit. He has not followed through on his vow to oversee a federal voter- fraud investigation. Republicans and Democrats who oversee elections at the state level have repeatedly said there is little evidence of fraud and no need for such an investigation. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pressed about Trump’s unfounded claims during a White House briefing after Trump's inauguration, press secretary Sean Spicer defended the president’s right to make such claims without explaining why he does so.“The president does believe that,” Spicer told reporters. And that’s based on information that’s provided.”Thursday’s meeting was an attempt to foster bipartisan support for Gorsuch, whose confirmation requires 6. Senate, where Republicans hold 5. Attending were Sens. Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester, Lamar Alexander, Chris Coons, Shelley Moore Capito, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Joe Donnelly and Michael Bennet.
