#Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner responds to Trump’s false claims of cheating in #Pennsylvania:
"The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. #Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath"
