The Trump campaign fired back after Jim Messina, the former White House deputy chief of staff under Barack Obama, claimed the Republican nominee would try to “steal this election.”
Apparently, it’s not “fascist” or “authoritarian” to “question elections” anymore?
Messina made the comments in an interview with Biden’s former press secretary Jen Psaki on her MSNBC show Sunday.
He believes Trump will pursue legal action to fight back against voting irregularities in swing states.
“Everyone’s talking about Nov. 5 and who’s going to win on Election Day. My worry is the day after,” said Messina.
He called taking legal action to secure the vote a “precursor” to what Trump might do.
“They are going to try to set up a way to steal this election to get some of these crazy cases to their favorite United States Supreme Court,” he claimed, as if there were any other Supreme Court.
“We know that Trump is going to try to steal this,” Messina added. “He did last time.”
Trump Campaign Fires Back Over Claims He’ll ‘Steal Election’
It’s always wild to hear a Democrat openly make a statement they’ve spent years telling the public is a thought crime against democracy.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung fired back and suggested Messina is a “punk” and, like many in Obama’s circle, terrified that their installed candidate, Kamala Harris, is losing.
“Jim Messina is a punk and a has-been who nobody listens to because he hasn’t evolved with the times,” a reserved Cheung told The Hill.
“Kamala and the Democrats are clearly scared of the momentum President Trump has so they are preparing their excuses already.”
Such Claims Are The End Of Democracy
Huh. I’m old enough to remember when Democrats consistently and repeatedly insisted that casting doubt on election results is the end of democracy as we know it, and probably also, the world.
Make it make sense. It’s weird how they keep complaining that elections are rigged.
“I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from,” Hillary Clinton said in 2020.
Hillary tells @karaswisher “So there is an air of illegitimacy that surrounds Trump’s presidency, and that just infuriates them….Because I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from.” https://t.co/NovSU9xxyo

Clinton had the gall to say that having, during the previous election cycle, said that anybody who doesn’t take election results at face value is “a direct threat to our democracy.”
Messina therefore, is a direct threat, right?
Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election.
That’s a direct threat to our democracy.

Maybe they’re so worried about rigged elections because they’ve done so much rigging themselves. One only needs to look at how they dispatched Biden when they saw bad poll numbers and installed Harris.
And it’s been going on for some time. Just ask Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Sanders, you see, claimed the 2016 nomination was stolen from him by a system “rigged” to favor Clinton. Senator Elizabeth Warren also claimed the Democratic Party “rigged” its primary for Clinton.
Now, they rig it for Harris and then point to the other guy. Give me a break.
