Former President Barack Obama has come out as a dreaded “election denier” and accused Republicans of having “rigged the game to tip it in their favor.”
During a Thursday speech, Obama also accused Republicans of weaponizing the justice system “to go after opponents.”
Obama made the remarks during an appearance at the “Democracy Forum.”
He told attendees that Americans should be concerned about elections being rigged.
During his speech, Obama stated:
“Since total victory is impossible in a country politically split down the middle, the result is a doom loop of government gridlock, even greater polarization, wilder rhetoric, and a deepening conviction among partisans that the other side is breaking the rules and has rigged the game to tip it in their favor.
“One side tries to stack the deck and lock in [very long pause],” he added.
“A permanent grip on power, either by actively suppressing votes or politicizing the armed forces or using the judiciary criminal justice system to go after opponents.”
WATCH:
The comments have provoked a stir on social media.
Many note how hypocritical the Democrats are.
Obama’s claims come after years of stating that concerns of election rigging are “disinformation.”
In addition, the Democrat-controlled Department of Justice has been dedicated to targeting President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Obama isn’t the only Democrat to be accused of hypocrisy on the subject recently.
As Slay News reported, Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) made eerily similar claims to Obama.
Brown also came out as an “election denier” following his crushing defeat by Trump-endorsed Republican Senator-elect Bernie Moreno.
After losing his re-election bid, Brown is now appearing on corporate media outlets to promote a “conspiracy theory” that Republicans “rigged the system” to beat him.
Brown argues that the Republicans “lie” in their campaign ads.
“They lie about it and they put — in this case, they — they spent $40 million on 8 different ads on that issue,” Brown argued.
“They weren’t talking about how to make Ohio a better state,” he later added.
“They’re not doing their job on education.
“They’re not doing their job on healthcare.
“They’re not doing their job on creating jobs.”
CNN reporter Manu Raju pointed out the campaign was successful and Republicans won the election.
Brown responded with his wild claims and conspiracy theories.
“Yeah, but they’re winning elections in part because they — they’ve rigged the system,” Brown alleged.
