More than once, for instance, Democrats falsely claimed that Trump had referred to the Tiki Torch Nazis of Charlottesville as “very fine people.”

Democrats also falsely accused the former president of instructing Americans to “inject bleach” during the COVID pandemic.

Chuck Schumer, who’s painstakingly ignored the ugly and often violent Jew-hatred that’s infected his party, accused Trump of peddling anti-Semitism.

Speaker after speaker warned that Donald Trump, a relative moderate on social issues, was going to ban in vitro fertilization, even though the former president has explicitly rejected any limits on fertility treatments.

So it made all the sense in the world that the second night of the DNC featured former president Barack Obama, a man who probably did more to polarize American politics than any in modern history.

And the vacuous religiosity and hypocritical moralizing of Obamas was on full display.

It began with the former president’s wife Michelle, a strong speaker who can deliver a mind-bending platitude with the best of them.

Michelle preemptively accused anyone who opposed the Dems presidential nominee Kamala Harris of being driven by racism and misogyny — basically, the same con the Obamas ran when they were in the White House.

Obama bemoaned that our politics had turned citizens against each other...

The Obamas took this nation back several generations on the racism scale with their pimping.

The obamas time is coming to an end in about 150 days. No more Brack, Shellie or Biden.

No more Harris or Walz. Gone. Into the dustbin of history. This is a time for celebration.

Decency, like Eric Holder telling the press to F off.

Of course they did. It’s not like we haven’t seen this song and dance routine before.... like good little circus monkeys, they are.

My point was these two have been dividing and stirring the pot since day one. Paging Sen. Jack Ryan, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
