Power Line links to a John Kass column at his eponymous website. Kass interviews Mollie Hemingway who is now Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist and a frequent panelist on Bret Baier's Special Report for Fox News. She is author of a new book entitled "Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized Our Elections."
Hemingway makes an important point about the 2020 presidential election. Kass summarizes her view:
The 2020 elections weren’t stolen. That talk undermines elections just as much as do the Democrats shrieking that America is racist if voters are asked to show a photo ID to cast a ballot.
But rigged? That is another matter entirely. You might call this a semantic issue. But I’m from Chicago where rigging elections is an art form.
Bragging about being from Chicago feels like claiming to suffer the world's worst migraines. His column includes quotes from the Hemingway book about how Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg basically "bought" the election outcome he preferred, while carefully maintaining a fig leaf of legality.
Zuckerberg spent more than $400 million on that.
Hat tip to the Bond films' "shaken, not stirred" mantra for the title phrasing. Either mixes a martini, just as either rigged or stolen ends up with Biden being an "asterisk" president.
