Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
A satirical opinion piece that mocks claims of election rigging by comparing them to a fictional NBA Finals comeback by the New York Knicks against the San Antonio Spurs. The author sarcastically argues that if the Knicks' improbable victory was accepted as legitimate, then election integrity claims are equally absurd. The piece uses exaggerated political rhetoric to critique how some political figures question election results without evidence.

· 3 pulledIf the NBA had just stopped counting points after the Spurs took a commanding lead in Game 4, the integrity of the game would not have been undermined.
OK, so the NBA expects patriots like myself to believe that the liberal New York Knicks miraculously won Game 4 of the NBA Finals after the REAL AMERICANS on the San Antonio Spurs were up by 29 points in the third quarter?
Much like the recent California elections, which Republican leaders from President Donald Trump to House Speaker Mike Johnson convinced me were rigged, I'm calling BS on the Knicks' so-called victory.
