“Fucking psychopath.” — a Republican official watching Hawley speak tells me.- NEW: I’m told that President Trump can’t get his messaging straight on counting the votes because he doesn’t understand what “stop the count” means. On a call this morning, an adviser had to explain to him that if they stopped counting votes right now, he would lose the election.
- I’m sorry I haven’t replied to your email but I glanced at it, vowed to deal with it later, and now the very thought of even opening it fills me with crippling dread.
- Marco Rubio is one of the dumbest, worst people in America.
- The Cruz group chat leaker is an American hero.
- End of an error
- If you are worried enough about the virus to take a drug that has not been proven or approved to prevent or treat the virus, but you are not worried enough to wear a mask and gloves, what the hell does that mean?
- I have heard a lot of predictions about Donald Trump refusing to leave office, but my prediction is he will leave suddenly. The scenario I can picture most easily is this: sometime soon, he travels to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend as he always has, but this time he just stays there.
- I just got off the phone with Rudy Giuliani, who decided to call me to yell at me after he read “five paragraphs” of my story. He told me, “it’s useless to talk to you. You’re a lost cause.” He then talked to me for another six minutes and said he’d go read the rest of the story.
- If more than 50,000 Americans died over the course of a few weeks at any time in our history, it would be fair to ask the president if he deserves to be reelected. It wasn’t a gotcha question, it wasn’t designed to provoke, and I appreciate the fact that Trump took it seriously.
- Donald Trump is attacking Joe Biden for not implementing a federal mandate that people wear masks. It’s not clear how president Trump believes Biden, who is a private citizen, could go about creating law.
- Chris Christie has spent the last five years proving that he is a coward and any member of the press who continues to promote the myth of his Jersey Guy/straight-shooter-tough-talker brand is dishonest or an idiot or both.
- Barr said today that pepper spray isn’t an irritant, that tear gas wasn’t used on peaceful protesters, and that tear gas was used specifically to clear a path to save St. John’s Church when it was on fire. All of these claims are false.
