White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who has promoted conspiracy theories about mail-in-voting fraud, voted by mail 11 times over the past 10 years

Like his press secretary, Trump also votes by mail in Florida, despite his false claims about fraud.

Trump's press secretary says there are 'real concerns' with mail-in voting. She's voted by mail 11 times.

Do as I say, not as I have done for the last decade. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has voted by mail 11 times in the past 10 years, sending in a ballot for every Florida election she's participated in since 2010, The Tampa Bay Times reports. She reportedly last voted by mail in Florida's primary just two months ago, shortly before she told reporters there is supposed "bipartisan consensus on the fact that mass mail-in voting can lead to fraud." McEnany's voting history is similar to that of her boss, President Trump, who has routinely voted by mail while making a stink over others who do the same. "The president is, after all, the president, which means he's here in Washington. He's unable to cast his vote down in Florida, his state of residence," McEnany said last week about the president's voting decisions. McEnany's defense of Trump came after he incorrectly asserted that Michigan illegally distributed millions of absentee ballot applications to its residents and threatened to withhold funding…

Fox News' Laura Ingraham claims Democrats will make Americans wear masks 'forever'

Laura Ingraham is pushing some patently false claims about what America might look like under Democratic leadership. On Tuesday night, the Fox News host welcomed lawyer and Republican operative Harmeet Dhillon to her show to condemn Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) for ordering people to wear masks in public statewide. Dhillon falsely suggested "the masks don't work" or at least that no one can "prove they work," and then said that could provide a legal pathway to overriding Northam's order. Ingraham chimed in to claim if masks are "for safety," then "this is not a temporary thing," and then suggested if Democrats "get real power," they'll enact rules that mandate wearing masks in public "forever." For example, Laura Ingraham was plugging lawsuits against Virginia's mask mandate on the next hour of Fox. pic.twitter.com/GX3N65gZJS — Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) May 27, 2020 Ingraham's claim is clearly untrue, seeing as most U.S. localities, including many run by Democrats, haven't mandated people wear masks when…

Pakistan Condemns commencement of construction of Mandir at Babri Masjid site

Islamabad, Pakistan: While the world is grappling with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the RSS-BJP combine in India is busy unabashedly advancing the “Hindutva” agenda. The commencement of construction of a Mandir at the site of the historic Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on 26 May 2020 is another step in this direction and the Government and people of Pakistan condemn it in the strongest terms. In a press statement issued on Wednesday evening, Pakistan Foreign Office said that the commencement of the Mandir’s construction is a sequel to the controversial decision given by the Indian Supreme Court on 9 November 2019, which completely failed to uphold the demands of justice. The Supreme Court’s verdict shredded the veneer of so-called ‘secularism’ of India by making clear that the minorities are not safe in India and that they have to fear for their lives, beliefs and places of worship.
