US President Donald Trump claimed that he would have won California if 'Jesus Christ' counted the votes, while again alleging that elections in the state are rigged.
Trump made the remarks while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing to deliver a commencement address at the US Coast Guard Academy.
He criticized California's voting system and mail-in ballots, repeating longstanding claims about election integrity.
'You have a rigged vote out there, that's the problem. The votes are rigged. You have a really rigged vote in California,' Trump said.
Trump then escalated the claim by invoking religion, saying, 'If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would have won California, because I do great with Hispanics.'
The president also suggested he may compile a list ranking what he called 'dishonest states,' adding that California was 'one of the most dishonest states.'
Trump's comments drew criticism online, particularly his reference to Jesus while discussing election results.
