(VINnews) — Al Sharpton has joined others in slamming President Donald Trump’s use of the word “riggers” as the former president lashes out at prosecutors and judges overseeing the criminal cases against him.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

“This woman, to call a federal office, or call a judge’s chambers … using a word that rhymes with the n-word. Donald Trump himself, their leader, using the term ‘riggers’, which clearly rhymes with the N-word,” Mr Sharpton said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday.

“I mean, this is not exactly … 30 years ago, when we marched against him on the Central Park Five,” added Sharpton.

“Is this the kind of party the Republicans want to show the country that they are?” he said. “There’s no wonder independents are running away from them. To identify with blatant racism and blatant violence is not the party that we need. … We need a two-party system. But we don’t need one good practice itself in bigotry.”

The word “rigger” is found in the dictionary, and its definition has nothing to do with race or the “n-word”. It essentially means ‘one who rigs’.

OMG. Trump’s use of the word “rigger” is a complete coincidence that it rhymes with the “N-word”.
Maybe Sharpton should go after Winnie the Pooh for calling his tiger friend, “Tigger”.
How about grave diggers?
Or people who say, “Go figure”?
Or police that pull the “trigger”? (Wait – Sharpton usually does have a problem with that one).
Or people who call their mother-in-law, “Shvigger”? (As soon as Sharpton finds out it’s Jews who use that word…).
Or Black rap “artists” who actually do say the “N-word” multiple times in their “songs”?

This is the same individual, who instigated the 1991 Crown Heights Pogrom; he seems to suffer from amnesia, regarding his role in the latter.

Why do we care what this antisemite says. This is propaganda. I don’t remember him being upset when corrupt Joe said racist things.

This is a stupid take. Trump uses mangled incorrect language. There was no racial component here. He means people who rig.
