President Trump early Sunday tweeted that the race for Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman was “rigged.”
“Bernie's guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!” Trump added.
Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez on Saturday defeated Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to become the next DNC chairman in a win for centrist Democrats.
The race, which split along establishment-grassroots lines, in many ways mirrored the divisive 2016 presidential primary between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Hillary Clinton.
Sanders and many of his allies backed Ellison, the first-ever Muslim elected to Congress and a star on the left.
“Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!” Trump tweeted on Saturday, sparking a response from the new DNC chairman.

How is it Ellison would have time for another full time gig?
Trump created the potential for great things. Give the man his due.
Heh.......good question....maybe he planned to quit Congress?
Don’t really know.
He is to the center of the current RAT party.
Social media outreach.
The internet version of “Let’s you and him fight.”
The rigged system was one of Trump’s campaign themes. This was a golden opportunity to hit that theme again. He’s using it to divide and demoralize the opposition, which is good politics. This is why Trump wins.
I don’t care for them, but there is no reason he can’t make several a day. I exercise my right to ignore them.
Yes, another bitch-slap. I usually enjoy the President's tweets, but it's all starting to feel very repetitious.
I think the President's tweets work best when he talks about what his administration is accomplishing. After all, that is the best bitch-slap of all.
It is just downright antagonistic.....God bless the man. Antagonist to me is just before I shoot the bastard between the eyes,
The Democrat Hate Whitey Thug Party
sparking a response from the new DNC chairman.
Love it! Go, Trump!
The leftwing media only “report what they are instructed to “report.”
He lashed back immediately.
Trump is absolutely right. This was fixed from the beginning.
Index 235to200 ! This number needs to be the headline for any “news” coming out of the DNC as a reminder to all that the DNC only represents barely 50% of its constituents
What Dave said: Trump is a “planner” and you can bet his constant haranguing of the demodummies is part of his overall plan. Keeping your enemy on defense makes it more difficult for them to come at you when they don’t have any idea what will fall on them next.
Trump became a billionaire and the leader of the free world by trusting his brilliant instincts...
