CNN host: Trump aide ‘spewing garbage’ on voter fraud

CNN host John King slammed White House aide Stephen Miller on Monday for his claims about voter fraud in the election.

King was responding to Miller’s statement Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that illegal voters were bused in to New Hampshire to help Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who won the state by less than 3,000 votes, or 0.3 percent of those cast.  

“Ask Democrats, ask Republicans, ask anybody in New Hampshire. They will tell you that is ludicrous,” said King, who is host of CNN’s “Inside Politics.”

“To quote Sean Spicer here, ‘This is something the president believes,’” said Molly Ball of The Atlantic, referring to the White House president secretary.

King saids President Trump’s staff needs to push back if evidence isn’t there to support such claims. 

“Forgive me; is it your job if you work for the president and he believes this, isn’t it your job to work on the president to get him through this?” King asked. 

“Or at least not to repeat it on television? Just say, ‘I can’t say that on television because we have no evidence that it’s true.’”

Trump won the Electoral College 304-227, but Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes. Trump has said he would have won the overall vote had it not been for voter fraud.
