Republican Party: its rigged

Sorry, I don't see where the Republicans are "condemning" Trump's comments or saying they will accept the outcome unconditionally

Example:

Dr. Ben Carson, a top Trump ally, said the nominee would wait and see how the results look. But, he added, “if there is nothing that looks particularly obvious, he is going to accept it.”


Or

“I think, again, that his point is we want to ensure that the results are very fair, that the election process is not a rigged system and that we have certified and verified results,” said Sarah Huckabee, a top Trump campaign aide.




I don't see these babbling word salads as very different than the Orange One himself. The acceptance of the results are sometimes heavily conditional and depend on how they "feel".
The arrogance and audacity of this should be stunning. While Republicans across the country craft voter suppression laws and are gerrymandering districts to marginalize the vote of minorities, they propose to lecture the rest of the country about fair elections.

There is no even-handed tone coming from Trump's party. They are on message with their Party leader.
