Barack Obama slams GOP 2024 runner Tim Scott for not having a plan to tackle poverty caused by racism and demands 'honest accounting' of US history within the Republican Party
Daily Mail ^ | 6/15/23 | Rob Crilly

America's first black president took aim at black Republican senator Tim Scott for saying his party was 'doing a fabulous job of making progress.'

Scott launched his run for president last month on an optimistic platform and has put his own story of struggle at the center of his campaign, with a philosophy that suggests everyone can succeed if they want to.

But former President Barack Obama said in a podcast released on Thursday that it was time for the Republican Party to get real about how systemic racism shaped the nation's history.

'And so, if a Republican who may even be sincere in saying "I want us all to live together" doesn't have a plan for how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society and we need to do something about that ...' Obama told the Axe Files, hosted by his former adviser David Axelrod.

'If somebody is not proposing, both acknowledging and proposing elements that say, "No, we can't just ignore all that and pretend as if everything's equal and fair. We actually have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk."

'If they're not doing that, then I think people are rightly skeptical.'

Scott responded to his comments late on Thursday, but steered clear of attacking Obama by name.

'Let us not forget we are a land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. Democrats deny our progress to protect their power,' he said.

'The Left wants you to believe faith in America is a fraud and progress in our nation is a myth. The truth of my life disproves the lies of the radical Left.'

Obama can't stand being upstaged by the truth.

Tim Scott is attracting thousands of black male voters away from the Obama/Biden debacle.

And what has Obama's Juneteenth brought America?

What yhe Hell did YOU do for blacks, Barry, other than to constly tell them that they are victims?

You had the chance to try to turn around the decline in inner city education, out-of-wedlock births, and reduce gang violence, but you did NOTHING.

Berry is trying to make up for the fact that he grew up a rich white trust fund baby. The media made him look like an authentic black person but he was a fraud. He grew up as a rich white liberal who had nothing in common with the average black American. He had every door opened for him. What did he do for black America during his eight years in office? He made them less wealthy and brought in millions of illegals to take jobs and housing away from black Americans. His record pales in comparison to the supposedly racist Trump. Obama was a sell out since birth.

How about Obama’s family history?

Says the half black multi-millionaire who grew up in a rather wealthy family to the middle income black guy who grew up in utter poverty.

Maybe his next target will be Justice Thomas.

Come on Barry. Make it rain for the homies.

“Relax. The Kenyan just doesn’t know.”

Oh, he knows what he’s doing. He’s trying to elevate Scott to try to pull down Trump a bit, as he knows that Trump is otherwise unstoppable, even if the Dems manage to jail him.

How can poverty or racism even exist after 8 years of the Great Half-Black Kenyan?
