"My number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful."

"I'm more troubled that you're seeing a lot of Republican officials go along with it."

"I'm more troubled that you are seeing a lot of Republican officials go along with it, not because they actually believe it but because they feel intimidated by it."
