Barbra Streisand Says 2016 Election Was Rigged: ‘They Were Playing With Those Voter Machines’

The fix was in, according to Barbra Streisand.

During an interview with Variety, the Academy Award-winning actress went on record to say that she believes Donald Trump was not the real winner of the 2016 presidential election — claiming that Trump was the beneficiary of rigged voting machines.

“I really believe [Hillary Clinton] won the election,” Streisand told Variety. “I’ve talked to senators from Michigan and Wisconsin. I do believe, like I believed during [George W.] Bush, they were playing with those voter machines. And [Al Gore] lost by 537 votes out of 104 million. And now, in retrospect, Bush looks quite good compared to Trump. At least he’s not mean-spirited. He’s not a guy who is retaliating for what Obama did at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.”

Streisand also pinned some of the blame for the Parkland, FL shooting on Trump and an overall climate of violence to which she believes the president has contributed.

“I think even that shooter was affected because Trump brings out the violence in people,” Streisand told Variety. “He says, ‘It’s OK — rally, lock her up.’”

She added of Trump, “He embodies the nasty remarks he makes about other people. He’s a liar. He’s crooked.”
