Trump Lashes Out At Reporter Who Pushes Back On His Newest ‘Rigged’ Election Lie


President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out yet again at one of the women who covers him because she asked a question he didn’t like.

“PBS NewsHour” White House correspondent Liz Landers asked why the FBI seized election records in Arizona.

“Well, they probably thought the election was rigged,” Trump said, repeating his debunked conspiracy theory about the 2020 election, which he lost.

“It wasn’t rigged, though,” Landers replied.

“Oh, really?” Trump shot back. “How do you know?”

Landers was ready with some receipts.

“Your own attorney general in 2020 said that there was not measurable voter fraud to change the outcome of the election,” she reminded him, referring to a conclusion from then-Attorney General Bill Barr, who was appointed to that position by Trump himself.

Trump wasn’t having it.

“You don’t think it was rigged? I think it was rigged,” Trump said. “If you say it wasn’t rigged, you’re a rotten reporter.”

Landers asked the president for evidence, but he walked away.

While Trump has always had a testy relationship with both male and female reporters, he’s been especially demeaning toward the women who cover him, particularly in recent months.

Last month, he called CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “the worst reporter” and scolded her for not smiling. He has also attacked Collins on social media as “always Stupid and Nasty.”

Also last month, he told Washington Post reporter Natalie Allison that she had a “very bad attitude.”

Last year, he responded to a question from CBS News White House correspondent Nancy Cordes by asking: “Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?” The president also attacked Katie Rogers of The New York Times as “ugly” after she co-authored a report on his lighter schedule as he ages.

In addition, he accused ABC’s Mary Bruce of asking what he called “a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question,” and insulted Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey with a now-infamous “Quiet, piggy!”
