President Donald Trump on Sunday jumped into allegations of NBA cheating, wondering aloud if the basketball gambling scandal was worse than Democrats cheating in American elections.
“What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The president then made it very clear where he stands.
“The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL.”
“Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything.
“I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much ‘gusto’ as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms.
“No mail-in or ‘Early’ Voting, Yes to Voter ID! Watch how totally dishonest the California Prop Vote is! Millions of Ballots being ‘shipped.’
Trump exclaimed in conclusion: “GET SMART REPUBLICANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!”
As WorldNetDaily reported, FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday announced the takedown of a massive illegal gambling ring involving coordination between NBA players, coaches, and mafia crime families.
Patel said: “Day in and day out, this FBI is following the money – and today is the result of that outstanding work. This operation involved an expansive effort across 11 states arresting 31 subjects, including multiple NBA players and coaches, who allegedly took advantage of their own positions of power to rig gambling systems for their own benefit – eventually funneling money to La Cosa Nostra, enriching some of the most notorious criminal networks in the world.
