Former President Barack Obama is whining about cancel culture after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show following the disinformation Kimmel broadcasted after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
“After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama said on X, sharing an article on the suspension of Kimmel’s show.
He added, “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.”
Kimmel went down this week after he spread disinformation following the horrific public murder of Kirk. He strongly implied during his monologue on Monday that Kirk’s assassin was part of the “MAGA gang.”
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel claimed.

They’ve been talking about RICO the last couple days. He chirping because they might catch him.
Throw that sucka into shark-filled waters from 30,000 feet. Drop his pal Fauci as well, for good measure. They caused the death of millions of people, for which they’ll never be held responsible.
President Barack Obama and other officials plotted a “coup” against Trump. These claims, often repeating debunked conspiracy theories, have been repeatedly dismissed by Obama and other officials involved.
The claims revolve around the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, which looked into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential links to the Trump campaign.
Investigations into the FBI’s Russia probe
Mueller Investigation (2017–2019): Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe concluded that Russia interfered in the election to help Trump. While it did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, it detailed numerous contacts and instances where the campaign expected to benefit from Russian hacking efforts. Mueller’s team did not exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice, but it did not charge him with a crime due to a Department of Justice policy against indicting a sitting president.
DOJ Inspector General Report (2019): The Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, found that the FBI’s investigation was opened for an authorized purpose and was not influenced by political bias. However, the report did identify significant inaccuracies and omissions in the FBI’s applications to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Durham Investigation (2019–2023): Appointed by former Attorney General William Barr, Special Counsel John Durham was tasked with investigating the origins of the Russia probe.
Findings: Durham’s 2023 report criticized the FBI for moving too quickly and relying on unverified intelligence, suggesting that bias played a role for some personnel.
Result: The investigation did not result in major convictions. One FBI lawyer pleaded guilty to altering an email in relation to the Carter Page surveillance, but two other prosecutions brought by Durham ended in acquittals. The report did not validate the claims of an orchestrated coup or conspiracy.
Following Trump’s return to the presidency in 2025, his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released documents alleging a “treasonous conspiracy” by the Obama administration. Gabbard accused officials of manufacturing and politicizing intelligence in 2016 to undermine Trump, releasing documents that she claimed proved a years-long coup.
Critics, including Democrats and some news outlets, have described these accusations as a politically motivated effort to attack political opponents.
Reaction from Obama’s Office: A spokesperson for Obama called the allegations “outrageous,” “bizarre,” and “a weak attempt at distraction”.
Sorry bathhouse Barry, canceling cuts both ways now.

“They caused the death of millions of people, for which they’ll never be held responsible.”
I believe in God, so I believe their day is still coming. And it will be far worse than anything we can dole out.

Dangerous new levels you say. Getting your panties in a bundle is worse than getting shot in the neck?
Once again, Zer0 has no understanding of the situation. President Trump had no say in the suspension of Kimmel. Kimmel did his suspension himself by poor ratings which were worse than Colbert’s. You don’t pay someone $15 million a year to let his shtick run past its due date.
That is all he knows.
He had no problem getting Roseanne fired from abc
There was actually a time when I was ambivalent about seeing Obozo behind bars.
Why did you post that?
He, of course, omits that this is mainly corporate and state/local policies that doing or promoting violence is not tolerated.
He's also ignoring the huge societal wave going through the country right now. Americans have become sick of the vitriol and are abandoning the Democrats in droves.
He's also not thinking about the Mid-Term elections.
DOH!!
‘This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent’
Barrie, I thought you studied the Constitution.
A1 starts with ‘Congress’. Go back to sleep.
Hey Barry, stay tuned. We know you are a fan of “listening”.
It’s time for the Kenyan to be deported. He’s trying to overthrow the Government of the United States. Toss his butt out!
Seriously - Former President Barack Obama is whining....
OKAY, someone, anyone please tell me the last time this Marxist hafrican POS said ANYTHING that was not whining. Barry needs to go back to Chi-congo, lock himself in his Nazi inspired flak-tower of a library and STFU!!!
Great backgrounder, Liz. And it's good to be reminded of the sequence of the lies and corruptions. I think the Trump team is waiting a bit as we get closer to the 2026 election cycle. The Democrats are imploding. They've resorted to yelling in their Congressional Committees. By hitting back with their testimony, RFK Jr. and Kash Patel are proving they can do a lot of damage to corrupt ones like Pocohontas, Comrade Bernie, Ching Chang Swallwell, and Shifty Shift. Lawyer up, Obama team. You ain't see nothing yet. |
