NOW: @PressSec has opened her briefing by gloating about a SCOTUS opinion prohibiting churches from hosting large gatherings during a pandemic, and because she's a petty, unprofessional hack, is playing video of Democratic politicians and Chris Cuomo for...reasons. 
.@PressSec, a taxpayer-funded spokesperson for the executive branch, is attacking the Governor of New York for commenting on the above-mentioned SCOTUS case.
Q: Does the President still think he has a path to win?
A: [incoherence about "legal votes"] and refers question to campaign she has been serving as a paid spokesperson for part-time.

.@PressSec says she's unaware if @realDonaldTrump has spoken to AG Barr, says she's heard "no mention" of pardons for the President's adult children, Giuliani, etc.

In response to a question about @realDonaldTrump vetoing the #NDAA w/o Sec. 230 repeal, @PressSec is now blatantly lying about what 230 is, calling it "essentially a shield that is given to social media networks because they claim to be the public square," which is just false.
.@PressSec says POTUS is serious about vetoing the #NDAA without a 230 repeal, tries justifying it by repeating ridiculous crap about Twitter's moderation practices.
No one at the White House has been questioned by the FBI in the bribes-for-pardons investigation.
.@PressSec says "we condemn" threats against election workers by @realDonaldTrump's supporters, but then appears to justify them by claiming his lawyers "were doxxed by a left organization" (their contact information is publicly available in court filings)
.@PressSec says POTUS is still against renaming military bases named after confederate generals.
.@PressSec is now crediting @realDonaldTrump with "creat[ing] the greatest testing system in the world," which is patently false.
.@PressSec falsely claims certain therapeutics can keep you from being hospitalized with COVID, but they are required to be administered in hospitals.
