Cooked Up....................
"Does the President accept that Conor Lamb won in Pennsylvania-18?" a reporter asked Deputy White House Spokesperson Raj Shah on Air Force One Wednesday afternoon.
The simple answer would have been, "Of course." But nothing the Trump White House can be that simple, everything has to be shrouded in obfuscation.
"So let me say a few things, just very briefly, about that race," Shah told reporters, according to the press poll report. "You know, the President's engagement in the race turned what was, you know, a deficit for the Republican candidate into what is, essentially, a tie."
Going into the weekend Conor Lamb was up six points in the latest poll.
"Also, you know, the Democrat in the race really embraced the President's policies and his vision, whereas he didn't really embrace Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Leader," Shah claimed, which is astonishingly false.
"I'm not going to comment beyond that on the race; I'll let the political officials do that. But those are just the White House's observations on the election last night."

it is this criminally insane Traitor-in-Chief.
The simple answer would have been, "Of course." But nothing the Trump White House can be that simple, everything has to be shrouded in obfuscation.
He drops all these bullshit stink bombs, then tries to throw out a sentence implying he is reserved and says:
"I'm not going to comment beyond that on the race"
Too late for a sentence like that fucking liar.
I think you are a piece of shit lying asshole who very likely committed multiple felonies and illegal acts. Wanting to appear distant and prudent, I'm not going to comment beyond that on you and your job.
