Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser to Bernie Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign, on Monday pushed back against President Trump's accusations that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is working to "rig" the primary contest against the Vermont senator.
"It is not currently rigged. Last time it was rigged," Weaver, who as served Sanders's 2016 White House campaign manager, said on MSNBC as the Iowa caucuses got under way.
Weaver added that Trump's comments are an attempt to paint the primary as a tool of the political establishment — and himself as the only candidate working outside of the machine.
"We’re not going to play that game," Weaver said. "The danger for Trump is the people who support Trump, working class people in Pennsylvania, people who voted for Barack Obama twice and then voted for Trump, people in Iowa [are the] same way. Those people could be brought back by Bernie Sanders, not Joe Biden."
Trump, in a series of tweets over the weekend, claimed that the DNC was working in tandem with former New York mayor and 2020 White House hopeful Michael Bloomberg to "rig the election" against Sanders. Trump also alleged without evidence that Bloomberg was in talks with the DNC to "have the right to stand on boxes" during Democratic debates.
The comments came after the DNC abruptly announced that it was nixing the donor threshold for a primary debate in Las Vegas later this month. The move could present an opening for Bloomberg, a billionaire businessman self-funding his entire campaign, to reach the debate stage.
For the Nevada debate, Bloomberg and the rest of the candidates need to reach 10 percent support in at least four national polls, or 12 percent support in two sanctioned early-state surveys from Nevada and South Carolina, according to the new criteria.

LOLOLOL fools
Trump has them chasing their tails. They don’t know which way to turn.
Aaaand now Trump has Bernie defending people who are doing their best to cut his throat.
So they admit that it was rigged last time but they
still ended up voting for Herself. Pathetic sheep.
Trump also alleged without evidence that Bloomberg was in talks with the DNC to "have the right to stand on boxes" during Democratic debates.
Rumor has it that Justin Wise and Kurt Eichenwald get together to swap tentacle porn and lament about the banning of the Krassenstein brothers from Twitter.
Bernie is pretty naive if he thinks the DNC has changed in 4 years.
He’s going to trip on his d*ck when Bloomberg gets to be part of the next debate and the DNC rallies around him. Trump will roll out this quote when they whine next time.
And I thought this primary season was going to be boring after the one we had in 2016.
I believe this article supports POTUS’s claim:
Mark this thread for later when the fools are screaming Bernie got robbed..lol
it’s just a question of who is going to slit his throat.
Hillary?
John Kerry?
Bloomberg?
Or...ta da..
Moochie
I still think Moochie is stringing donors along in Chicago.
Well, there you have it. The Sanders 2020 campaign confirming that the 2016 nomination process was simply rigged. Does this mean now that Sanders has to hand back his free vacation home door prize he got from 2016?
Bernie Sanders reasons his political savvy the same way he reasons economics. Last time, the primary was rigged, but since those who rigged it were never penalized and became more powerful, they would never attempt to do that to him again, because they admit he caught them.
Yeah. Check out the big brain on Bernie.

How would you know? It isn’t like they share such communications with you.
Has he asked CNN for full disclosure on the past coordination with the DNC and Hilly R. Clinton campaign to defraud the public in the Democrat primary?
They need Sanders to keep the Bernie bros on the reservation when they push him aside.
