    Michael Moore on Trump’s ‘rigged' system claim: ‘He was right when he said that’

    November 28, 2019

    Michael Moore doesn’t normally agree with President Donald Trump, but on Wednesday’s The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell that’s exactly what he did. The political activist and documentary filmmaker has made multiple films criticizing the president, but he admits Trump was right about one thing.

    “The people that came out for Trump,” said Moore, “I'm not talking about the racist white supremacist part but people tired of the system and Trump told them it was rigged.”

    Surprisingly, Moore agreed with Trump’s stake, saying, “It was rigged and he was right when he said that.”

    Some of Trump's major talking points during his 2016 campaign were about rigged elections, as well as draining the swamp. Trump claimed he would remedy these problems if he was elected president.

    Moore, however, contends that while Trump was quick to point out the problems, he has since done nothing to resolve them. Moore said, “He won on that, but he hasn't delivered on any of that.”

    Republicans Confirm Judge Rated 'Not Qualified' For Being 'Lazy,' 'Arrogant'

    Thomas: There is no debating the fact that as each party assumes control of the presidency that the President has the absolute right to nominate whoever they wish to the Federal bench. For most of our history it has worked fairly well with very few nominees being rejected for anything but cause. Over the past 15 years the system has started to break down. Mitch McConnell epitomizes the worst of that party driven dysfunction. His efforts led to the record number of vacancies on the Federal bench that Donald Trump got to fill. It is one thing to nominate people who mesh with your philosophical bent. However, it is expected that the nominees at least be qualified to serve. Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnell, and the Republicans have shown that not even that is a requirement any more. There have been more people who have been rated unqualified by the ABA and others nominated and confirmed by this administration than any previous one. Filling judicial vacancies is an important responsibility and competency and fitness to serve should not be replaced with partisan loyalty and potential length of service as the primary determining factor for the role. In the case of this gentleman we can only hope that his generally acknowledged character flaws will lead him to quit sooner than later as the weight of the position that he has been given takes its toll on his questionable work ethic.
