Obama: Trump's rigged election talk 'not a joking matter'

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — President Obama on Thursday called Donald Trump “dangerous” for the country one day after the GOP nominee suggested he might not honor the result of the November presidential election.

“This is just more than the usual standard lie,” Obama told an energetic group of Hillary Clinton supporters during a rally here at Florida Memorial University, a historically black college.

“That is not a joking matter," he continued. "That is dangerous, because when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in other people’s minds about the the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy."

The president spent nearly as much time bashing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is facing a tough reelection challenge from Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.) But Obama’s main focus was taking down Trump, whose comments during the final presidential debate of 2016 caused a nationwide furor.
