Leavitt: Only someone who wasn't in the room like I was in the room would even consider taking Trump's "jokes" seriously [View all]

"I was in that interview," Leavitt said. "It was a closed-door interview. Obviously, there was no audio or video. The president was simply joking."

"He was saying, we're doing such a great job, we're doing everything the American people thought, maybe we should just keep rolling," she added. "But he was speaking facetiously."

"You said that he was joking," another reporter pointed out. Americans for generations have fought and died for this democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny?"

"Andrew, were you in the room?" Leavitt snapped. "I was in the room, I heard the conversation, and only someone like you would take that so seriously and pose a question that way."
