Squad Attacks Obama After He Criticizes ‘Defund the Police’ as Just a ‘Snappy’ Slogan
MenRec ^ | 12/4/20 | Rusty

Members of the far-left ‘Squad’ fired back at Barack Obama after the former President criticized “snappy” slogans like “defund the police” as a losing political argument.

Obama made the comments during a Snapchat interview which aired Wednesday morning.

“You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done,” said Obama.

“Do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?” he chastised.

Squad members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and the latest addition, Cori Bush (D-MO), all took turns hammering Obama for belittling their efforts to dismantle the police as just a “snappy” slogan.

Omar began the barrage, telling Obama you don’t lose people to “snappy” slogans, you lose them to the police.

“We lose people in the hands of police,” Omar suggested. “It’s not a slogan but a policy demand.”

...

Pressley warned Obama that she is “out of patience” with people who criticize their choice of slogans in bringing about the destruction of law enforcement.

I recall the film Van Helsing. Dracula’s mistresses r in conflict with their master. Instead of serving their master they r destroyed by a man of God. Just an observation folks. Does evil destroy itself because of their lust for power? Just. Thought.

Yes, China paid Dominion 400 million only 4 weeks prior to our election. The election stinks if you watched OAN and poll workers/bosses who were witnesses to these criminal acts Dominion did.

Why didn’t you post the rest of your old news cut and paste blog?

Pressley warned Obama that she is “out of patience” with people who criticize their choice of slogans in bringing about the destruction of law enforcement.

“The murders of generations of unarmed Black folks by police have been horrific,” she tweeted. “Lives are at stake daily so I’m out of patience with critiques of the language of activists.”

Whatever a grieving family says is their truth.

And I’ll never stop fighting for their justice & healing.

Bush, who wants not only to ‘defund the police’ but to ‘defund the Pentagon,’ also went after Obama.

“With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people,” Bush tweeted. “We lost Michael Brown Jr. We lost Breonna Taylor. We’re losing our loved ones to police violence.”

“It’s not a slogan,” she claimed. “It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police.”

Critics of Defunding the Police Are Like People Who Opposed Abolishing Slavery?

Michael Eric Dyson, a far-left liberal political commentator, compared critics of defunding the police to those opposing the abolition of slavery in an interview on ‘The View.’

“I know some people have been outraged by the use of abolish the police,” Dyson said. “Guess what? In the 1850s many White Americans were against abolishing slavery.”

“So that the very word ‘abolition’ has caused some people problems, it has been a longstanding tradition in America.”

Following Dyson’s logic, he is essentially saying Obama is just like White Americans who wanted slavery to continue.

That’s a hell of a stretch.

It isn’t all bad blood between Obama and the Squad.

The former President did scold Democrats for not giving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a bigger platform at their convention earlier this year.

“One thing I will say about the Democratic Party, promoting young people is really important,” Obama said. “We stick so long with the same old folks and don’t make room for new voices.”

“The fact that AOC only got, what? Three minutes or five minutes?” he complained. “When she speaks to a broad section of young people who are interested in what she has to say, even if they don’t agree with everything she says.”

If they gave her additional time she most likely would have used more of those “snappy” slogans promoting the abolition of law enforcement and the spread of socialism that ‘lose people.’

Every police officer regardless of skin color deserves our respect. I had great black SF NCO’s in Vietnam who ran cross border recon. One was in Womack Army Hospital FT. Bragg with me in mid 69. SFC Lamb could not use either arm/hand. His wife had to feed him. He ordered his white asst. team leader to leave him in Cambodia. The SGT refused and saved his life. This black vs. white started with Obama. Yes, I saw riots in 67-68 and 73. LBJ screwed blacks with handouts.

To lash out at Saint Barack means that they indeed want to burn the country down.

What’s wrong with defunding the police for all they’ve been worth in Portland, Seattle, Chicago etc.? Save the taxpayers some money.

We know we got screwed

The only question remains, when will the Left realize they go screwed?

Who is closer to Wall Street? Bidum or Trump?

Who is more likely to start a new war? Bidum or Trump?

Who is more likely to give the wealthy new benefits (prohibited licensing, more permits, red tape etc that makes starting a new competitive business impossible) Bidum or Trump?

Who is more likely to give the farm away to China? Bidum or Trump?

Who is more likely to screw the American worker? Bidum or Trump?

Who is more likely to screw over inner cities with more crime/less cops and awful public schools? Bidum or Trump?

The left is going to hate Bidum more then Trump, whether they admit that publicly, I doubt that would ever happen. But the only problem the left doesn’t realize is that these corruptocrats rigged the election for themselves, not the left. They just don’t know that yet. They just think they are going to benefit.

Yep. Interest rate is indeed the most powerful force in the universe.

I see banks moving to bitcoin. This should tell one that much about the impending apocalypse... there is this air of Hotel California, you can get in but will not be allowed to cash out at the lower levels. Much blame is going to go around.

Liberals are utopian, trying to put back the genie of the Garden of Eden back in the bottle, following communist or religious rules , as if that could replace the breaking of the rule at the Garden and people need not face the reality that we all need to fend for ourselves instead of being at this government tit providing the way God provided at the Garden...

That sht will not work. As for big companies and universities hoping to get bailed out everytime, same deal eventually, imo. That zero sum game communist or corporate welfare thinking will do their own economy in. The amount of increasing incompetence and media telepathic like thought-inbreeding in the higher spheres of society has never been higher.
