So…?

"I'm saying it stinks to high heaven," Johnson said on Monday when he was asked about the results by CNN's Manu Raju. "And everybody knows that. I think California is playing around with this."

"But what evidence is there to prove this was rigged?" Raju replied.

"Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream, it is impossible to prove," Johnson said. "But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here."

Mattingly chuckled as he replied to Johnson's comments on "The Lead."

"So diabolical it's impossible to prove," Mattingly said. "Which just sounds like anything my four-year-old does most days."

CNN's Jamie Gangel, a special correspondent, said Johnson's comments show he was playing to an audience of one — Donald Trump.

"He is not going to contradict Donald Trump, but the way he's saying it is really disingenuous," she said. "It's a distinction without a difference, because he is saying it stinks to high heaven. So he's not using the word rigged, but that's what he's putting out there. I think the problem here ... this is dangerous when you undermine faith in the election. Let us not forget we have seen the result of what happened on January 6th. We do not want that to happen again."

... do we expect Trump to incite a riot in LA when the new mayor takes office?

Because I’m pretty sure this election conspiracy shit has run its course. As it has to do. The only way to get rid of it is to wear it out.

Turek: It is a scary place to be a farmer in Iowa right now. We lead the nation in farm foreclosures. Everywhere we go, we’re hearing farmers talk about betrayal. You go into these rural communities, the Trump signs and Trump flags are coming down. pic.twitter.com/ypoD7iHK0K

BREAKING: U.S. SPR declines 7.9 million barrels in the last week to 349.2 million as of June 5, meaning that at any moment in the next few days the SPR will decline to its lowest since 1983, when it was being filled for the first time.

Pretty sure that’s more important to people in the country than who won the LA mayoral primary, how. Though Trump thanks you for doing his job for him.
