Pelosi tells Trump he CAN’T accept Republican nomination at White House after prez said he is considering it
HOUSE Speaker Nancy Pelosi has told Donald Trump that he can not accept his Republican nomination at the White House after the President said he is considering it.
"You don't have political events at the White House," told MSNBC on Wednesday. "You can't do it."
"Again, it's notion-mongering, not serious thinking. It won't happen, let's put it that way.
"Whether it's legally wrong or ethically out of the question, it shouldn't have even been something that was expressed."
"We're going to do virtual and we're going to do some live speeches from different locations.
"If we go to another state or some other location, the amount of money is, you know, very enormous.
'That's something to consider. I think it would be a very convenient location. It would be, by far, the least expensive location.
"There'd be very little in terms of that tremendous travel and security in terms of airplanes and everybody flying all over the place."
Senator John Cornyn called it "problematic," while Senator John Turne asked "is that even legal?"
"I assume that's not something that you can do," he said. "I assume there's some Hatch Act issues, or something."
Senator Ron Johnson also told reporters at the Capitol that it is "probably not allowed," and said he "probably shouldn't do it."
