Kelly Ayotte, who lost her reelection bid in November and is now working for Trump as a Capitol Hill liaison, or “Sherpa,” on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil 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.

Now that President Obama has mastered kite surfing, what will be his next activity?
My favorite response, from panelist Mo Rocca: "Just announced, he's developing a line of presidential bathrobes for Nordstroms."

W.t.f is happening?! I'm lost at how it's allowed for POTUS to use his OWN F-ING PROPERTY THAT HE MAKES MONEY OFF OF in order to host a meeting in his capacity as POTUS. The entire thing blows my mind. If this was any other POTUS this would be front page news and everyone would be losing it. How does he get away with this crap!?katharath|1486858443|4127611 said:http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/02/11/trump_golfs_with_japan_s_abe_press_in_basement_with_blacked_out_windows.html

And that's why it's important that no one become complacent or let this piece of human trash's behavior become our new normal. None of this is normal.katharath|1486865920|4127643 said:

Some of us are very concerned and with good reason. I need to take what ever chill pills you are taking because I would love to start the day off thinking there is nothing to be concerned about.

President Donald Trump's senior policy adviser on Sunday repeated Trump's unsubstantiated claims that people were bused from Massachusetts to New Hampshire to vote illegally in the swing state during the 2016 election.
But he provided no evidence to support that claim or other claims of widespread voter fraud.
In a contentious interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," White House policy director Stephen Miller repeated Trump's claim last week that he would have won New Hampshire were it not for "thousands" of people being bused there.
"Go to New Hampshire. Talk to anybody who's worked in politics there for a long time. Everybody's aware of the problem in New Hampshire," Miller said.
Stephanopoulos pressed Miller for evidence to support Trump's claim, but when none was given, said: "Just for the record, you have provided absolutely no evidence."
"George, it is a fact and you will not deny it that are massive numbers of non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote. That is a scandal! We should stop the presses and as a country we should be aghast about the fact that you have people who have no right to vote in this country registered to vote, canceling out the franchise of lawful citizens of this country," he said. "That's the story we should be talking about! And I'm prepared to go on any show, anywhere, any time, and repeat it and say the President of the United States is correct, 100%."
CNN fact-checking has found no evidence of widespread voter fraud or of 3 to 5 million illegally cast votes.
Stephanopoulos replied: "For the record you've provided zero evidence that the President was the victim of massive voter fraud in New Hampshire. You provided zero evidence of the President's claim that he would've won ... the popular vote if 3 to 5 million illegal immigrants hadn't voted. Zero evidence for either one of those claims."
Later in the interview, while discussing Trump's plans for the country, Miller said that "the non-citizen voting issue is pervasive and widespread and we are going to protect our country from voter fraud."
Stephanopoulos ended the interview by saying: "You can start by providing evidence to back up your claims."
