On Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted about absentee voting ballots that he called illegal in both Nevada and Michigan and said that he would try to withhold funding from the states. The president claimed the mail-in voting would cause voter fraud, but one White House reporter named Brian Karem took to Twitter and accused Trump of attempting voter suppression.
“Another Lie from @realDonaldTrump. Voter fraud? Nope. An attempt at voter suppression from the president? Yep,” tweeted Karem in a comment where he also retweeted Trump’s tweet about Michigan’s absentee ballot applications.
The reporter’s tweet received nearly 500 retweets and over 2,000 “likes” on the popular social media platform. Some of the replies pointed out that states with Republican governors have also mailed out absentee ballot applications.
“Maybe I’m mistaken, but didn’t Georgia also do the same thing? Why isn’t THAT a problem for Trump? I think we all know why,” replied a Twitter user.
