GOP leader says Trump wouldn't allow foreign interference right after Trump said he would

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Trump would do the opposite of what Trump said he would do.

On Thursday morning, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy defended Trump's admission that he would collude with foreign governments by saying there is no way Trump would actually do what he said.

"I think if you ask the president, he would be very clear about it — not allowing any foreign countries to interfere in our elections," McCarthy said at his weekly press conference.

In fact, when Trump was asked about foreign interference in our elections, he was very clear that he would welcome it.

"I think I'd take it," Trump said Wednesday when asked how he would deal with countries like Russia or China offering dirt on his political opponents.

Notice he didn't say "Trump wouldn't accept foreign help."

They are separating terms here, saying that "help" is not the same as "interference."

Typical message massaging.
