Former President Barack Obama continues to make the podcast rounds as he joined Brian Cohen in what could only be labeled as one of the most insufferable interviews available on the internet. Obama managed to do what he does best: pretend to take the moral high-ground while having ruthlessly targeted anyone politically opposed to him.
Obama was always the master of this. He’d do something nakedly political and accuse everyone who opposed it of being “political.”

“Stop being political and pass my law that destroys American healthcare.” https://t.co/UQtYJ2EE51
Obama jumped onto the leftist talking point of the Democrat Party being the party of unity, while the Republican party has a monopoly on divisiveness, anger, “us/them” style of politics, and almost laughably equating the Left to Bad Bunny’s recent profane halftime performance that nearly no one in the United States could actually understand.

“That’s their home court,” Obama said. “Our court is coming together. A great example, it wasn’t political, Bad Bunny’s halftime show.”
Of course, by “unity” he means when his running-mate labeled his opponents as racists who would work to reinstitute slavery. Or how about the “basket of deplorables" line from his would-be successor, Hillary Clinton? It seems almost daily that we hear of a leftist politician calling ICE officers Nazis.
I guess he forgot when "his side" called the other side Hilter, Nazis. etc -- or maybe he just doesn't think that is divisive https://t.co/aNALwZEqNn

Barack Obama was the most divisive president in modern American history. https://t.co/lzZaONJADj

Obama normalized and weaponized the idea of “if you disagree with me, you are evil and want people to die.”

He set the table for the us/them politics we have today.
But he also has the self-awareness of a blind squirrel so what can ya do. https://t.co/FlZlt4nMuQ
The lunacy doesn’t end there. Obama also took shots at President Trump, alleging that Trump has harassed and intimidated states who didn’t vote for him, and claiming that he would have never done the same.

It’s hard to break down just how absurd this statement is. Trump has only had to conduct these large-scale operations in sanctuary cities who are openly and flagrantly defying federal law, and because the Democrat-run states Trump desires to withhold funds from are engaged in billions of dollars of fraud.
Obama also seems to think that he never used his government power to target political opponents after making a claim that is a complete rewriting of the work of his administration. It seems rather hard to forget that the IRS targeted Tea Party aligned groups for increased scrutiny, with James Comey running cover for their political activity, among the countless other activities his administration got up to. Does the Steele Dossier even need to be mentioned? The number of cases are simply too vast to write about.
Obamacare was literally written to threaten to cut off funding for states that wouldn't vote for Obama's policies. There were multiple Supreme Court cases on this! That was the organizing principle of the stimulus, too. That's before we even get into suing nuns or running guns to… https://t.co/MMHryax464

Obama went after the Sisters of the Poor in court, authorized a drone strike on two American citizens without due process, was running guns to Mexican cartels, and oversaw surveillance of Fox News, the AP, and CBS News https://t.co/zuTNexdhZJ

The good news for conservatives is, that if they have resorted to trotting out Obama to try to clean up their mess, you know that we are winning. If it weren't for him and his ego, Donald Trump would have never come down that escalator and ushered in a new age of conservative governance.
