Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski absolutely destroyed the hypocritical Dem talking point from last night’s debate that Donald Trump’s rhetoric on “rigged” elections is something new or unprecedented.
During the segment, the duo listed the numerous examples of past accusations of voter fraud against the Republican party that are being conveniently forgotten as the MSM discussed Trump’s comments from last night’s debate.

And Salon on the 2004 election:

And Jesse Jackson on Florida in 2000:
And Rolling Stone on the 2004 election:
And Howard Dean on the 2004 election:
And Josh Marshall on the 2004 election:
And Michael Moore who said Florida was stolen in his movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11”:
