House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday she’ll “of course” accept the reelection of President Donald Trump if he wins Nov. 3 — but that won’t stop criticism of him, including that he “welcomes” Russian interference.

In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Pelosi hammered Trump’s policies and initiatives.

"Of course,” she responded to the question if she would accept Trump’s reelection.

“It isn't a question of accepting the result,” she added. “The question is, is making sure the public knows that they must vote, they must have a plan to vote, they must vote early because their playbook is one that has all kinds of obstacles to participation in our country."

Pelosi said willingness to accept the election result “doesn't mean that we will not shout out against his initiatives, whether it's to tie up the Postal Service so that we will not have the opportunity for people to vote by mail, to not having to choose between their health and their vote.”

"It doesn't mean that we ignore the Russian interference into our election and they try to cloak it by saying, 'Well, we look at many countries.' No, the Russians 24/7 are interfering into our election."

“The President welcomes it,” she insisted.

Pelosi also urged voters to ignore the president’s claims about mail-in voting fraud.

"The best thing, all the time, is to ignore what he has to say, because it has no association with fact, validity or truth,” she declared.“He may have his bully pulpit, but we have the American people and we'll make sure they turn out to vote."
