Washed Up 45 dog whistles to court. |
Riggermania!
There is forum called...... Let you figure it out! No links or endorsement. In fact, I hope a hacker group infiltrated the site and gives out the names of those on that forum. It will lead to their termination from jobs and of course public ridicule.
That site is part of the online swamp of far right extremism. The anti-Black noise that indoctrinated future terrorists into committing deadly attacks on innocent lives.
El Paso
Buffalo
Pittsburgh
Charleston
Orlando
These cities had an extremist massacre innocent lives based on race, sexuality, religion, immigration status and living conditions. It will not stop.
Washed Up 45 has inspired more hate since his descension into politics.
On Truth Social, the former president referred to a Black federal judge, two Black prosecutors and one Black former president as "riggers."
The former president claimed to have evidence that would lead to a “complete EXONERATION of him and his allies, adding: “They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!”
Many of his supporters quickly began using the term on far-right social media sites, some in a derogatory manner alluding to the racist slur.
It is the newest dog whistle Republicans and far right extremists are using to describe Black prosecutors.
Donald Trump says he wants to “find the RIGGERS” who stole the election from him. Rigger, please!

Trump’s choice of words is not an accident after spending days making racist attacks against Fani Willis, the Black woman leading the prosecution against him in Atlanta. pic.twitter.com/VIkyn8dcjJ
I told y’all the word “riggers” was not an accident. Trump’s own former White House communications director, Alyssa Farah Griffin, says his use of the word “riggers” was “deliberate” and notes there were a lot of Black people in the courtroom when Trump was indicted in Atlanta. pic.twitter.com/6RXZ5rkSSk

The latest controversy surrounding Georgia district attorney Fani Willis indicting Washed Up 45 in Fulton County under RICO charges. It stems from Washed Up 45 trying to encourage Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to eliminate votes so he could win the state and declare the election was stolen.
Raffensperger refused to do so. He recorded the calls and sent records to Willis.
Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin said she believes Washed Up 45 intentionally used the word “riggers” as a racial dog whistle following his Georgia indictment. Griffin is a CNN contributor and co-host of The View.
Griffin pointed to the “slanderous attacks” Trump has leveled against Willis, who is Black, adding that “he’s not really hiding that he’s going to lean into that element.”
“With Trump, you don’t need to look for a dog whistle — it’s a bullhorn when it comes to race,” she said. “And I do think that’s deliberate.”
She also pointed to the demographics in the Atlanta courtroom where a grand jury returned the indictment earlier this week.
“It was a lot of Black men and women who were serving in that courtroom,” Griffin said. “The fact that he’s introducing race into this prosecution surprises me. It’s disgusting. It’s textbook Donald Trump.”
Racist abuse targeting Willis has escalated across right-wing platforms since the charges were revealed on Monday night. According to The Guardian, several Gab posts included images of nooses and gallows, and called for Willis and grand jurors in the case to be hanged.
There have also been death threats and calls for violence against other people involved in Trump’s four indictments.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
