Tucker Carlson described former President Obama as "one of the sleaziest and most dishonest figures in the history of American politics" after his eulogy at the funeral of civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) on Thursday night.
Carlson, who also described the former president as "a greasy politician" for calling on Congress to pass a new Voting Rights Act and to eliminate the filibuster, which Obama described as a relic of the Jim Crow era that disenfranchised Black Americans, in order to do so.
"Barack Obama, one of the sleaziest and most dishonest figures in the history of American politics, used George Floyd's death at a funeral to attack the police," Carlson said before showing a segment of Obama's remarks.
Obama gave lengthy remarks about Lewis at Thursday's funeral, but the part that got the most attention was his vehement push for Congress to pass a new Voting Rights Act, which was an issue that the civil rights icon Lewis had pursued. The Supreme Court in 2013 struck down the heart of the law, allowing nine states, mostly in the South, to change their voting laws without federal approval.
"Bull Connor may be gone. But today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of Black Americans. George Wallace may be gone. But we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators," Obama said.

Yes. The man was an angel of death and destruction both at home and abroad
Bill Clinton looked to be in somewhat better health than I've seen in a while. He must be staying away from Hillary.
I’ve never seen a hypocritical Commie Rat before. . . . </sarcasm>
I’ve been alive during 13 Presidential Administrations and Osama Obama is....BY FAR...the worst.Carter is a *very* distant second.
What we really need to do is repeal the old voting rights act. It has long surpassed its “best use by” date.
If we can do this, and call it a new voting rights act, while getting the federal government out of telling the states how to hold elections, I am all for it.
He was raised in foreign countries... that’s how he believes the king can act. And he thought he was king.
Tucker will catch all sorts of flack for stating the truth. 0bama is repulsive. I can’t stand the sight or sound of him.

Tucker has already lost all his mainline corporate advertisers. All of them. The only thing left is for him to lose his show.
I would gladly pay to watch his show commercial-free.
Once a “community organizer” always a “community organizer”.
The John Lewis death rally.
Well, then there was President “I will have the n%%gers voting Democrat for the next 200 years”.
Everyone who saw that saw Obama for who he truly is. I remember the firat thing I said when I saw that satan character.
The killing has been described as a modern-day lynching that evoked the worst episodes of the 1960s and before, and all of the officers involved face criminal charges, with one facing a second-degree murder charge.
Apparently it is a new rule that every “news” article, whether it has anything to do with George Floyd or not, repeats this claim that Floyd was “killed” as though it was undisputed fact.
