In response, Speaker of US House of Representatives said: "But that does t mean that we will t shout out against his initiatives, wher it's to tie up postal service, so that we will t have opportunity for people to vote by mail, t having to choose between ir health and ir vote. It does t mean that we igre Russian interference in our election. And y (Republicans) try to cloak it by saying, well, we look at many countries.” Pelosi, one of Trump's fiercest critics, said Russians are interfering in US elections 24/7.
" president welcomes it (interference). So, again, it isn't a question of accepting result. question is to make sure public kws that y must vote, y must have a plan to vote, y must vote early, because ir playbook is one that has all kinds of obstacles to participation in our country,” she said.

“But you kw what? Igre it. It's really important, because he's doing this so that people won't vote. He's saying, it's use voting because it won't count as cast, you might as well t vote,” she said. “ best thing all time is to igre what he has to say, because it has association with fact, validity, or truth,” she ded.
