Right after one of the debates, maybe the very first one, I can't remember now, he went straight from the debate stage to talk about how his mic was being turned off so that he couldn't comment like the other candidates. Whichever media outlet was hosting the event denied his accusation. It is reckless to make such claims, especially after the Republicans and Russians basically promoted the same sort of """rigged""" narrative that cost us a Democratic presidency last go around.

In the last debate, Steyer -- once again, one of the biggest Democratic donors of all time -- had the least speaking time. Was the DNC or CNN/NYT """rigging""" the debate against him? Of course not. It's just shameful to promote such nonsense in the wake of everything that happened in 2016.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
what happens in the Senate is of ZERO concern as far as I see it, its the House's beachbumbob Oct 2019 #1

He was pushing the """rigged""" nonsense. W_HAMILTON Oct 2019 #17
I don't think he ever said or implied anything was rigged. redqueen Oct 2019 #18
He did. W_HAMILTON Oct 2019 #20
No, you're misrepresenting his words. He was pressured by his own supporters about not speaking up redqueen Oct 2019 #24
