I want you to hear this again. This is Obama, October 18th, 2016. This is like three weeks before the election in the White House Rose Garden. He\u2019s with the Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi, and they\u2019re having a joint presser. The question comes from the Drive-Bys about Trump telling his supporters the election\u2019s rigged and all that, and Obama is flat-out ticked off at that. And this is what he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L3mQaHTj7ow\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I have never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place. It\u2019s unprecedented. It happens to be based on no facts. &#8230; [T]here is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America\u2019s elections, in part, because they are so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved. There is no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time. And so I\u2019d invite Mr. Trump to stop whinin\u2019 and go try to make his case to get votes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Three weeks before the election: no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America\u2019s elections. Three weeks later Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and the entire American Drive-By Media did a 180 and started doing just that and ignored what their revered leader had said three weeks prior. Obama\u2019s right here, by the way. Impossible to change the outcome of an election like they did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  I want you to hear this again.
