Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to claim the election has been rigged, alleging the media is conspiring with Hillary Clinton to defeat him.
Donald Trump: “You see what’s happening. The process is rigged. This whole election is being rigged. These lies spread by the media, without witnesses, without backup or anything else, are poisoning the minds of the electorate. No witnesses, no backup, no anything else.”
On Sunday, Trump tweeted, “The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary—but also at many polling places—SAD.” Last week Trump called the presidential election “one big fix” and “one big, ugly lie.” Meanwhile, Trump supporter Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke tweeted out a photo of an angry mob, saying it’s “pitchforks and torches time.” Trump’s claims of a rigged election have been criticized by some Republicans. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said Trump was “wrong and engaging in irresponsible rhetoric.”
