Yes, It Was Rigged

‘Rigged” is a favorite word of Donald Trump and his allies.

It describes how institutions and processes have been distorted by a progressive elite to tilt the playing field against Trump and his supporters.

For the former president, it’s an all-purpose charge lodged against anything he dislikes and is especially useful as applied to the 2020 election, since it can vaguely encompass everything from sharp practices by the other side to outright theft.

When Trump made his statement to reporters on Wednesday morning prior to the jury getting the Alvin Bragg case, he repeatedly used the word “rigged,” and, in this instance, he was absolutely right.
