Donald Trump appeared at the Trump National Doral Miami on Tuesday to boast that 80 percent of the resort's employees are Hispanic. As he was making his way through the press afterward, though, Trump was bombarded with questions about rigged elections.

"Do you still think the election is going to be stolen from you?" someone can be heard asking in a clip captured by CNN's Jeremy Diamond. "Ask Obama," Trump replies. "Tell him to look at his tape when he was running eight years ago."
