Reactions were rolling in Monday after President Donald Trump and his Republican Party were dealt a serious blow in the Supreme Court's ruling on mail-in ballots.
Reporters asked Trump for his thoughts during a press conference in the Oval Office after the high court upheld a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, rejecting the president's attacks on the voting practice.
Trump was asked what comes next for the SAVE America Act, which the president has referred to as a priority.
"Because of the mail-in ballot ruling, which was a little bit surprising, it gives people more time to vote illegally," Trump said.
Trump himself has voted by mail — and the internet was quick to point that out.
"If it's a weekday afternoon in America, reporters are nodding sagely and respectfully and pretending it's normal for a president to say things your family would put your uncle in a padded room with non-toxic crayons and a ball of string if he said them," the political commentary account Recovering Journalist wrote on X.
"Yes, the 'illegal' mail-in votes, even though Trump votes by mail. It’s like OJ telling you driving a Ford Bronco should be illegal," progressive political commentator Chris Robinson wrote on X.
"Trump’s an idiot. It doesn’t give any more time to vote," Vince Wilson, liberal political commentator and YouTuber, wrote on X.
"Adjudicated rapist says what?" Dane Rauschenberg, long-distance runner and author, wrote on X.
