White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the administration is tired of talking about Donald Trump as he dismissed the GOP presidential candidate's claims that the election is being rigged.

“I feel confident in speaking for everyone in the room when I say we are all tired of it,” Earnest said when asked on Wednesday if the president is sick of talking about Trump.


President Barack Obama in August told reporters he was tired of talking about the GOP nominee. But he’s since been on the attack against Trump and his claims of election tampering and media bias.

Earnest explained the president has since begun speaking about Trump again because “he’s concerned about the false claim that the election is subject or at least susceptible to rigging.”

“These are the kinds of conspiracy theories rarely floated by winners,” Earnest added. “The people who are trailing on the scoreboard are the people most likely to complain about the officiating.”
