Breitbart ^ | 12/16/2020 | David Ng

Still reeling from the left-wing backlash to his recent criticism of “defund the police,” former president Barack Obama (D) appeared on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Tuesday where he appeared to strike a conciliatory note by praising the activists behind the movement, calling them courageous and media savvy.

But he also doubled down on his criticism of the actual slogan, saying that it can alienate potential Black Lives Matter allies.

The jokes really write themselves as far as this person is concerned, don’t they? Bet he and his family did not have to worry about their own safety in the exclusive (and white) area of Honolulu where did a lot of his growing up.

funny how the most heavily guarded people call for defundign the police that guard the rest of us the best they can- The left’s aim? Take guns away from folks, then defund the police so law abiding citizens can’t protect ourselves from criminals

The left’s blatant lie claiming they ‘love this country’ has been fully exposed- They despise what this country stands for, and they despise law abiding citizens

Take away his Secret Service protection, too. Then let him take the family for a stroll in the worst parts of Chicago on a warm Saturday night. No fair calling 911!

Obama is doing interviews and speaking because Biden can’t....it’s visual propaganda.

....”He’s leading the insurrection and its high time he’s stopped”.....

Obviously nobody’s going to do that. The Dems and media want out there to fill the gap Biden can’t. Berry’s the front man for Biden....and the base has no problem with that.

We said all along if Biden gets this it’s Obama’s 3rd term.....and he’s just getting warmed up.

...says the man with 24-7 armed bodyguards for life payed for by others (we taxpayers) while living in a mansion on Martha's Vineyard funded by others (we taxpayers and by crimes against taxpayers).

Obama, the interviewer, the show producers, and the network that broadcast this utterance from an idiot have reached another milestone in expert credibility...NOT

If he really believes in defunding the police, he can start by dismissing his taxpayer funded bodyguards - or else he's nothing but a hypocrite.
