Trump: DNC Chair Race Was ‘Totally Rigged’ and Ellison ‘Never Had a Chance,’ Just ‘Like Bernie Himself’

Besides taking a shot at the New York Times this morning on Twitter — right after CNN ran a segment on the NYT — President Donald Trump also weighed in on the recent election of the new Democratic National Committee chair.

Last night, after former Labor Secretary Tom Perez defeated Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) in a close race, Trump offered up his ‘congratulations’ in a tweet that was steeped in sarcasm.

Throughout the presidential campaign, Trump consistently made claims that the election and system were “rigged.” He complained that the presidential debates were rigged against him, stated that polling places were rigged, and straight-up said the election itself would be rigged.
