Revealed: Who Obama Gave $400K Grant To In Last Week of Presidency

by Dean Daniels/ February 2, 2017/ POLITICS

It’s been unveiled that President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded a $400,000 grant to a radical anti-Trump organization just a week before the transition of presidencies.

On Jan. 13, Obama and the DHS handed out $400K to the ‘Life After Hate’ group, claiming it was a grant designed to fight the concept of radical Islam.

Christian Picciolini, co-founder and chairman of the organization, has been more than just a vocal opponent of the current president, Donald Trump.

Picciolini has taken to social media platforms such as Twitter to make calls for action against Trump.

He has suggested the President be overthrown and has even accused the Republican of being a Nazi and implied advocacy for his death before the inauguration.

The DHS announced the grants in a press release on January 13, awarding grants to 31 different projects intended to “counter violent extremism.”

Below is a list of degrading tweets about President Trump from Picciolini, a man Obama believed to be deserving of the grant:

Now why would a “Christian” give money to an activist who tries to make head lopping Muslims look like saints?.../s

There was a guy named Christian who was tried for terrorism in Germany a while back, in relation to synagogue bombings in Tunisia as I recall.

“...designed to fight the concept of radical Islam...”

The “concept”? More like designed to re-write history.

This shameful act on the part of 0bama needs to be publicized.

Americans all across the nation need to be made aware of this treacherous act by Barack 0bama, using taxpayer money.

These sorts of tactics invariably backfire when the public becomes fully informed of their intent and extent.

The hysterical hatred of the Left knows no bounds, has no decency, and the more the American People are made aware of the unhinged, corrupt behavior of the Left and Establishment (but I repeat myself), the more the perpetrators of these sleazy crimes will be repudiated and their politics rejected.

The more of this Evil that comes to light, the better for the country, and the worse it will be for Democrats, whom everyday Americans are increasingly coming to see as the Enemy of the People. Their shameful and pathetic antics will destroy the Democrat party more thoroughly than any effort the GOP could ever muster.

The modern Democrat party has become a criminal enterprise, moral and philosophically bankrupt—an empty shell, devoid of ideas, reeking of corruption both public and private...

c’mon, lets be fair and reasonable.
cut the guy some slack...
the guy gave Iran the cash America had seized, a whack of cash on top of that, probably nuclear technologies in a chip.....then he tried to give the Palestinians 221 million to aid in the eradication of Israel.... then the UN resolution against Israel.... and all along it’s been death to America, all consistent with his muslim persona....
but hey! remember he has his rights to his “I hate America” perspective.... thats who he is!!!

Burn him for treason.

It’s easy enough to get info on Christian Picciolini. A classic political opportunist. Ex-Nazi sympathizer himself, wrote a book called Romantic Violence:The Story of an American Skinhead.There’s a photo of him he proudly displays from a period “before he got religion” of him standing in front of the Dachau Concentration Camp sign, giving the Nazi salute. Now his life is devoted to undermining, discrediting,and eventually overthrowing Trump. A long time ago, Sigmund Freud called this “projection”. He’s just the kind of guy Obama would throw $400,000 to.

Sadly we have paid into these left wing causes for decades.

We even helped pay for the attempt to get Hillary elected instead of Trump

Mostly correct. What he actually said occurred in a radio address to the nation on the federal budget and the Congressional elections, on October 15th, 1988, and this was it:

You may have heard a lot of campaign talk from our liberal friends recently about the Federal deficit and Federal debt. What you don't hear them say is that the President can't spend one dime of the Government's money without congressional appropriations.
