“Of course. But that does not mean that we will not shout against his initiatives, or that it is to bind the Post Office, that we do not have the opportunity for people to vote by mail, and do not have to choose between their health and theirs. voice, “Pelosi told Jake Tapper of CNN about” State of the Union. “” It does not mean that we ignore Russian interference in our elections and they try to cover it up by saying, ‘Well, we’re looking at a lot of countries. ‘ No, the Russians are interviewing 24/7 in our election. “
The California Democrat went on to say, “The president is most welcome. That, again, is not a question of accepting the result. The question is, is it to make sure the public knows they have to vote, they have to have a plan to to vote, they must vote early, because their playbook is one that has all sorts of obstacles to participation in our country. “
Pelosi on Sunday asked people to ignore Trump’s recent comments questioning the legitimacy of post-vote.
“The best thing, all the time, is to ignore what he has to say because it has no association with fact, validity or truth,” Pelosi said. “He may have his wheelchair, but we have the American people and we will make sure they come out to vote.”
‘Bare sheets’ on relief legislation
Pelosi also said she “can’t see” how the Republican-led Senate can “prevent” USPS funding legislation, which she noted “should be bilingual.”
Meadows said Sunday that Trump would be ready to sign a bill that would include funding and reform of the Postal Service – but only if Democrats agreed to include other economic relief measures along with it.
“My challenge to the Speaker [Pelosi] of the morning this would be – if we agree on five, six things – let’s go ahead and do that, “he said on ABC’s” This Week. ” “” I spoke to the President early in the morning. He is ready to sign that, including the reform of the postal service, which will ensure that the money is there to ensure that first-class deliveries are processed quickly, efficiently and on time. “
Meadows said he plans to call Pelosi later Sunday and noted that he met with a number of congressional Democrats on Capitol Hill on Saturday. Meadows told reporters he had tried to see the Speaker, but she was in a meeting and so he left a note. Phil Mattingly of CNN reported that there was no meeting about the books.
In a separate interview Sunday, Meadows called the legislation passed by the House a “largely messaging message, because it goes absolutely nowhere.”
“It has everything to do with a political statement,” Meadows told Fox News Sunday. “Here’s how I know it. Because in the privacy of the negotiation space, I’d offer $ 10 billion plus reforms for the Postal Service, which they’re been asking for a long time, to Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.”
CNN has reached Pelosi’s office for comment.
