Former President Barack Obama said Republicans made white men think of themselves as victims Wednesday - and that Donald Trump's surprise success with Hispanic voters was partly because of his appeal to evangelical voters.
He explained in an interview Wednesday with The Breakfast Club that what motivates people to vote is often about 'the stories that are being told.'
'What's always interesting to me, is the degree to which we've created, you've seen created, in Republican politics, this sense that white males are victims. They're the ones who are like under attack,' Obama noted. 'Which doesn't jive with both history and data, and economics.'
Obama was trying to explain to hosts Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee what motivated Americans in this past election to vote for President Donald Trump.
'The question though is, you still had 70 million people voting for a government that I would say objectively has failed miserably in handling just basic looking after the American people and keeping them safe. Why is that?' Obama mused.
He had just been speaking about the coronavirus pandemic, saying that if Trump had kept some of the pandemic infrastructure in place from the Obama administration, 'We would have saved some lives.'
Obama then pointed to the broader political narrative.
'The story that they're hearing from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and, in some cases, inside their churches is that Democrats don't believe in Christmas, only care about minorities and black folks and trying to take your stuff and trying to take your guns away,' the former president explained.
With white male victimhood, Obama called it a 'sincere belief, that's been internalized.'

It will be Obama’s third term.
It is a lot worse that Obammy thinks.
We don’t think of ourselves as victims - we refuse to be victims.
With whats waiting in the shadows (president harris, AOC and the rest of the communist squad) Id welcome obama with open arms. Dude looks like a moderate compared to the far left wing that is waiting to take control when pervert biden passes on.
What’s Obozo talking about,,,,he was paid millions for his endorsement of Biden,,,,,that’s why he delayed for months before giving Joe his endorsement,,,,,follow the money.
What a pompous ass and a load of crap. That poser and his wookie-wife need to be exiled to a remote island with a supply of Cheetos, diapers and baby food. They have as much wisdom and active brain substance as a room full of cry-baby Olbermann’s.
Dem’s have always been the party of race baiting. From the time of Jim Crow to there flip with Jim Jones(coolaid man)

Obozo has gone off the deep end.
Jive turkey....
Baraq is upset that there was mass escape from their plantation in 2020.
We’re the ones paying the bills for your people. YOUR people are anarchists.
Perhaps the only human who has ever written three books about... himself!

"YEAH!"
I don’t do “victim”, wad; I do “enemy” really well, tho.
Remember a few years ago, when big Mike made the comment, “all this for a damn flag.” Democrats do not belong on American shores.
