Former Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is hitting back against the claim that the election is “rigged” -- an allegation that GOP nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly made in recent days.
When asked in an interview with “CBS This Morning” early Wednesday whether he believed Trump’s assertion of a cooked election was correct, Kasich replied with an emphatic “no.”
“Look, to say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen -- that’s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly,” said Kasich. “That’s how silly it is.”
The Ohio governor further criticized Trump’s position for sowing paranoia about the integrity of democratic institutions.
“I don’t think it’s good for our country, for our democracy, and I don’t believe we have any massive fraud,” Kasich said. “We don’t have that. That’s just a silly argument.”
“The problem is it does create doubt in people’s minds and I worry about 25 percent of Americans who may say when the election’s over that it was stolen,” he added. “That is a big, fat joke.”
Kasich joins the growing chorus of voices blasting Trump’s unfounded claims -- a group that includes House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican.

Kasich is yet another example of the “fair and balanced” type that gets hired by FOX News.
John you have already done more than enough for the 30 pieces of silver you took from Soros and the Hillary Campaign. So STFU!
Another guy who is both a lefty and compromised.
That image in a cartoon would be fantastic!
Jimmy Carter stole Ohio to win the 1976 Election, John everyone knows it.
It is one thing for Paul Ryan to win in a single congressional district. But it is another thing for a governor in a politically divided state to repeatedly stick his finger in the eye of his party’s base. I guess Kasich is getting tired of Ohio and wants to spend his retirement from political office in D.C. where he belongs.
Yeh Johnny what about the tens of thousand’s of Clinton ballots just found in a warehouse?
I’m supposed to trust someone who can’t even honor their pledge. Now I’m really worried about fraud.
The media is so ridiculous.
Kasich took $227,000 from Soros. He is bought and paid for and never to be trusted again.
The Soros Puppet speaks. Pricey Kasich comment at $200K of Soros money.
Cleveland is rife with voter fraud.
The dude is pushing his luck. He should just make it public, and join the rat party. He's one of them, not one of us.
Kasich’s own votes must have been rigged, because who would vote for this clueless wonder. Maybe it was because voters felt sorry for him.
Kasich
SOB
You could hardly see Soros’ lips moving when he said this.
Pray America wakes
Did we need more proof that Kasich is owned by the globalist oligarchy?
That would be your presidential primary candidacy, John. What a joke that was! Did you win anything other than your home state?
John Kasich: Ostrich. Just get your head out.
