As former president Barack Obama prepares to hit the campaign trail to boost Joe Biden's bid for the White House, he lashed out at President Donald Trump on Wednesday. In an interview on the liberal "Pod Save America" podcast, Obama particularly blasted his successor for continuing to spread misinformation.

"Trump is a symptom of [misinformation] and an accelerant to it," Obama said. "When you look at insane conspiracy theories like QAnon seeping into the mainstream of the Republican Party, what that tells you is that there are no more guardrails within that media ecosystem."

But you should listen to DNCNN without questioning.

The Qanon stuff was idiotic from the get-go. Trump should avoid it as there is plenty to attack Biden on without it.

Pod save America? As opposed to God save America? Hmmm

Obama is such a lightweight, intellectually.

The None’s whole life is a lie, and he is calling Trump a fount of misinformation?

Sad.

Hitting the campaign trail to save his own Bacon from four more years of investigations that all lead to his, Biden, and Hildabeasts desks.

This from one of those who set the whole Russia Hoax in motion, who gave Black Lies Matter invitations to the White House, and who spread hatred of the police for years. Only rabid white hating racists and Trump haters listen to him.

There’s that word again, misinformation.

It seems to be quite popular with the Left and DNCMedia lately, as if it’s been focus-grouped for political impact.

Rush should do a montage on these people using it.

Anyway, the whole concept is bogus in a supposedly free society. We have a right to bring up the issues the DNCMedia ignore. From banning COVID treatment information not in line with the CDC, to now this story about the Biden’s, is just plain deceit.

One man’s political challenge cannot be simply called “misinformation” and you walk away wiping your hands.

Nope.

Answer the challenge with facts countering it.

Don’t forget the IRS scandal where there wasn’t a smidgen of evidence.

He can’t. It is his legacy.

On second thought, He was President and he did not know what his VP was doing as well as his Secretary of State??? HMMM!

“...there are no more guardrails within that media ecosystem.”

Translation. In the Internet age, Dems don’t control the narrative, much as they’d like to.

Right ... QAnon is just conspiracies. There is no such thing as Pedophiles, Human Traficcing, or Pizza. Says Obama ... The Worst President Ever ... including Jimmah Carter.
